java.lang.RuntimeException：createContext失败：

Question

I am using Emulator 7.1.1(Google Apis) . Full exception is

     E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 309

 java.lang.RuntimeException: createContext failed: 12291
  at com.google.maps.api.android.lib6.gmm6.vector.bi.a(:com.google.android.gms.DynamiteModulesB:834)

The code is working fine on samsung galaxy J5 but not working on emulator . I have searched on google & my 2 hours wasted on this error & still not able to find the solution. Any help will be appreciated.

My build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

    dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
    }

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.katariya.pomoc"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
        renderscriptTargetApi 18
        renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

Answer 1

I got it!

I went into the settings of the emulator itself and changed OpenGL ES render from Autodetect based on host (default) to Desktop native OpenGL . After that my app began working perfectly. Here is a screenshot for clarity, hope this helps somebody in the future!

Answer 2

When creating a new Emulator one can choose some options in Emulated performance. It may be Automatic , Hardware GLES or Software GLES . In my case Software GLES 2.0 did the magic. The maps are working a little bit slower but fast enough to have patience to try my app out.

Here's the picture of place where to choose Emulation for Graphics
