When starting the emulator from Android Studio AVD manager I suddenly get this message:
Your GPU driver information:
GPU #1
Make: 8086
Model: 0166
Device ID: 0166
GPU #2
Make: 8086
Model: 0166
Device ID: 0166
Some users have experienced emulator stability issues with this driver version. As a result, we're selecting a compatibility renderer. Please check with your manufacturer to see if there is an updated driver available.
I don't know why it suddenly started appearing. It didn't appear yesterday, and I haven't updated any drivers or the emulator or Android Studio.
So, I change OpenGL ES renderer
to Desktop native OpenGL
in the emulator settings according to this answer. I don't have the ANGLE
option so I figured that's the closest I could get.
When I quit and relaunch the emulator I get the same error message.
Editing the device in AVD manager doesn't work either -- I cannot click Finish after editing the existing device:
It says You must select a Device to create an AVD
which I don't understand, since I'm editing an existing AVD that I can obviously already run.
How do I stop the emulator from using the compatibility renderer without having to launch the emulator from terminal every time?
macOS 10.14.1
