Regarding GPU mode error in launching Android virtual device

Question

When I am trying to launch Android virtual device in Android Studio 2.0, it is giving me following error.

ERROR: Invalid GPU mode 'mesa', use one of: on off host guest

A screen shot is given bellow related to this error:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks.....

Solution 1

Go to Virtual device manager, click 'Show on Disk' in the menu of the Virtual device. Open the config.ini file and change the respective line to: hw.gpu.mode=guest Then save the config.ini and then run Virtual device again. It should work.

Solution 2

I had the same error and what worked for me was : Open AVD manager as in the screenshot in the question. Then click on Edit this AVD on the right. After the configuration window opens, there is a setting for Graphics in Emulated Performance. I set it to Auto which solved the error for me.

This is the only solution that works for me. (automatic mode choses hardware graphics, which are currently not working.)
