please hep me get up and running. i tried to follow the steps from the Beginners Guide but the selections are not there. when I create an AVD in the B4A AVD manager I first create a new device. when I click start I get the messages
error: failed to create temp directory for crash services communications
warning : failed to open temp file
emulator : warning encryption is off
emulator: error: x86 emulation requires hardware
acceleration
please ensure is properly instslled
HAXM is not installed on the machine
One to thing worth mentioning, avoid using the emulator, it is very slow, it's better to use a real device or an alternate emulator, but a real device is always recommended.
The AVDs included in the new B4A are seriously fast on my laptop @NJDude, but that's on my machine which is already fast in the first place. If HAXM is working correctly there shouldn't be a problem with speed, well not unless there's a low memory issue.
By default I do use real devices via B4A-Bridge, but for testing different screen sizes I use the emulator. The original older emulator is as slow as a snail, actually I would probably say that a snail is faster than the old emulator, but not the newer emulator
