Trying to run an Android game using libgdx on Genymotion

Question

Has anyone come across libgdx and genymotion?

I am trying to get a libgdx game running on the genymotion android emulator - http://www.genymotion.com/

Every time I try to run genymotion, I get the following exception:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at java.lang.Class.newInstanceImpl(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:1319) at android.app.Instrumentation.newActivity(Instrumentation.java:1053) at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1974) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2084) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$600(ActivityThread.java:130) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1195) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4745) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:511) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:786) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:553) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) Caused by: com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: Couldn't load shared library 'gdx' for target: Linux, 32-bit at com.badlogic.gdx.utils.SharedLibraryLoader.load(SharedLibraryLoader.java:113) at com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxNativesLoader.load(GdxNativesLoader.java:34) at com.badlogic.gdx.backends.android.AndroidApplication.<clinit>(AndroidApplication.java:61) ... 15 more Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Couldn't load gdx: findLibrary returned null at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary(Runtime.java:365) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:535) at com.badlogic.gdx.utils.SharedLibraryLoader.load(SharedLibraryLoader.java:109) ... 17 more 

Any ideas?

Works great with AVD

Android API 16 libgdx 0.9.9 Genymotion 1.1.0

You should try to add the native x86 libraries to the libs folder as indicated in this post

To use the x86 natives, simply copy the x86 / folder with the night codes into your projects / folders for Android projects (next to the armeabi and armeabi-v7a folders). -UI installations will not automatically add these libraries. I decided to do it this way while x86 Android devices are very rare and youd just blow up the size of your APK without need.
