Can you attach a logcat? Did you remember to enable GL acceleration as that is a requirement?

I'm not able to reproduce this. A recent build of mine on Linux works fine in the emulator. My mozconfig looks like this:

. "$topsrcdir/mobile/android/config/mozconfigs/common"

# Global options
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j9"

# Build Fennec
ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile/android
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-android
mk_add_options NO_AUTOCLOBBER=1

# Android
ac_add_options --target=arm-linux-androideabi
ac_add_options --with-android-ndk="$HOME/android/ndk"
ac_add_options --with-android-sdk="$HOME/android/sdk/platforms/android-17"
ac_add_options --with-android-version=9

# Build options
ac_add_options --enable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-optimize
ac_add_options --disable-elf-hack

# Use ccache
ac_add_options --with-ccache


and my AVD image is configured as follows:

  Target: Android 4.1.2 (API level 16)
     ABI: armeabi-v7a
    Skin: WVGA800
  Sdcard: 1024M

hw.lcd.density: 240
hw.cpu.model: cortex-a8
vm.heapSize: 48
hw.ramSize: 256
hw.gpu.enabled: yes

My mozconfig looked like this	:

     # Add the correct paths here:
     ac_add_options --with-android-ndk="$HOME/Sources/android-ndk-r8e"
     ac_add_options --with-android-sdk="$HOME/Sources/android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-16"
     ac_add_options --with-android-version=9
     
     # android options
     ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile/android
     ac_add_options --target=arm-linux-androideabi
     ac_add_options --with-ccache
     
     mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=./objdir-droid


and my AVD image is configured as follows:

    Name: arm
    Path: /home/shashank/.android/avd/arm.avd
  Target: Android 4.1.2 (API level 16)
     ABI: armeabi-v7a
    Skin: 720x1280

    hw.lcd.density: 320
    hw.sdCard: no
    hw.device.name: Galaxy Nexus
    vm.heapSize: 64
    hw.ramSize: 1024
    hw.gpu.enabled: yes

Still not working !!

Try creating an SD card in your emulator image. I wonder if that might be the problem.

Comment 7

[Mira Lobontiu (Android QA)]

Does the issue still reproduce?

Comment 8

[Shashank VRSN Sabniveesu]

The problem didn't appear when I tried build a few months ago.
I didn't remember I had this reported. Please close.

Thanks
