[jira] [Updated] (CB-3758) "cordova emulate android" not working as expected

["Filip Maj (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3758?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Filip Maj updated CB-3758:
--------------------------

    Summary: "cordova emulate android" not working as expected  (was: "ripple android" doesn't work)

Changing the title of issue to reflect the current issue being discussed.

I think these are problems with the underlying, project-level scripts. The following two issues are related:

CB-3627
CB-3626

Essentially, the above two issues prevent the cordova-cli command {{cordova emulate android}} from starting an emulator before attempting to deploy to it (and thus your error).

However, if you start the emulator manually, it should work. I just tried on my machine and the following worked as expected:

{code}
$ cordova create tmp
$ cd tmp
$ cordova platform add android
$ cd platforms/android
$ ./cordova/lib/list-emulator-images
ICS
$ ./cordova/lib/start-emulator ICS
$ cordova -d emulate android
* some output snipped *
