Using Genymotion emulator with Ionic framework

Question

I've downloaded and installed genymotion and created and built my ionic application.

When I try to run the genymotion emulator using the following command:

ionic run android

I get the following response:

No target specified, deploying to emulator
No emulator specified, defaulting to Nexus_5_API_21_x86
Waiting for emulator...
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

The emulator is not working. Any ideas?

Solution 1

It's because ionic sees Genymotion AVD's as physical devices. So instead of using

$ ionic emulate android

use (note that you need to have the Genymotion AVD running)

$ ionic run android

Solution 2

I guess you must have installed "Intel x86 Emulator Accellerator HAXM" (you can find it in Android SDK Manager - Extras) but you haven't installed Intel® HAXM in your computer.

It gives you that error cause it is trying to run your Ionic App in the Android Emulator.
It seems you haven't configured any device in Genymotion or it is not running.

Another thing to consider after you have configured a device in Genymotion is to check that you're using "Genymotion Android Tools"

Solution 3

Regarding to the ionic 4, the ionic run android is removed, so the replaced command is ionic cordova run

Make sure that you have already installed the android Sdk and Gradle on your machine

Solution 4

first run Genymotion. then write the command below to watch list of devices attached:

adb devices

the result would be something like this:

List of devices attached
192.168.56.101:5555 device

finally write the command:

$ ionic run android
