Problem with the android emulator. "Device hardware is not supported"

Unity Engine

Hello! I just got unity running on my android phone which is pretty cool. But I didn’t have much luck with the android emulator. I get the following error:

Error building Player: UnityException: Device hardware is not supported
The connected device is not compatible with ARMv7a binaries. Unity Android only supports devices with a Cortex/ARMv7 type CPU, or devices with an ARM11/ARMv6 CPU with VFP hardware.
Set ‘Device Filter’ to ‘ARMv6 with VFP’ if you believe your device is supported; this will cause the application to rely on runtime detection of CPU features, rather than Android Market filtering

And I have no idea what to do and the does not seem to be much info about running unity on android emulator. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

woops…changed the device filter to “armv6 with VFP”…but now I get an error from the emulation > "sorry! the application androidTest (process com.jukke.androidTest) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again …tried it again and the same thing

Unity games don’t run in the Android emulator. Use the Editor or upload your APK to an actual device for testing.

Well, I actually managed to run simple Unity scene in emulator. Even AdMob banner was displayed. The scene contained just 1 small draggable sprite but the game was running in like 3fps (frames per second) and so was unplayable.

I’m not aware that Android emulator can be used for anything useful related to Unity Android development. Just stick with real device(s).

If you want to see how your game works (or if it works at all) on other hardware than yours, you can always email your .apk file to a friend.

thanks all for the replays , and i am going to test the game on real device(s), like you suggested.
