How to fix the "raw_depth_java" immediate crash after showing "This device does not support the ARCore Raw Depth API."?

Question

Hey everyone! I am trying to set up the ARCore demo application "raw_depth_java" in Android Studio using an emulator, but it closes immediately every time I open it. For reference:

1. The emulator I am using: Android 10.0 Google Play | x86
2. What I want to happen: I want to open the demo application and see ARCore.
3. What is happening: The emulator sends the message, "This device does not support the ARCore Raw Depth API." The app immediately closes after.
4. Other relevant information: I have installed "Google Play Services for AR."

Question (TLDR): How can I run the "raw_depth_java" application in an emulator?

Thank you for your help, have a wonderful day :D

Answer 1

The emulator can't run the ARCore Depth API.

From: https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/java/depth/quickstart#run

Note: The Depth API is not supported when running in the Android Emulator. Use a physical supported device to test the Depth API.
