Is it possible to run android studio in virtualbox?

3k Views Asked by At

My host is Windows 8.1 and guest is Xubuntu 14.04.02 and I'm trying to run Android studio emulator in Xubuntu. This is the error I'm getting:

Is it possible to do this? 3d is enabled in windows and checked on virtualbox machine settings. Any help will be appreciated.

Do you have the Virtual-box Guest Additions installed? The Guest Additions give you experimental 3D acceleration support See this link


You could also try disabling 3D in virtual machine's settings, it may not be ideal but it should allow the emulator to run.
