  1. POEclipse android ADT ignores emulator options?
    text
    copied!<p>I have set the following options in Eclipse to pass to the emulator command in <strong>Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Launch -> Default emulator options: "-cpu-delay 0 -no-boot-anim -cache /my/custom/path/to/androidcache/" (without the quotation marks).</strong> They seem to be ignored?</p> <p>I understand from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2993282/android-emulators-lauch-options-doesnt-work-in-eclipse-plugin">Android Emulator&#39;s launch options don&#39;t work in Eclipse plugin?</a> that I can also set custom emulator options in <strong>Run -> Run Configurations</strong>, but that carries with it a different set of inconveniences.</p> <p>Any thoughts? I've considered replacing the "<em>emulator</em>" binary with a script that reflects to it with the desired options. Any harm in that (perhaps it would interfere with upgrades)?</p> <p>I'm using <em>Eclipse 3.6 (Helios), ADT 10.0.1, SDK 10.</em></p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: I see from that same link above that perhaps this setting exists only to pre-populate the Run Cofigurations as new projects are created, which seems poorly documented and only moderately useful, since emulators started from the AVD manager ignore it (unless I'm missing something) ?</p> <p><strong>Update2</strong>: I made a script to replace the emulator binary and reflect to it with the desired options. Works fine. I assume it will be overwritten on an update. This is what I did, after moving the emulator binary to emulator_real (linux environment):</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/sh /path/to/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/emulator_real -cpu-delay 0 -no-boot-anim $@ &gt;&gt; /home/myusername/emulator_out.txt </code></pre> <p>I was unable to use an alternate directory for the cache (as shown above)... it caused errors saying the cache was in use, etc, which I think has something to do with android not seeming to work well across heterogeneous file systems.</p>
