Avoiding The "No EGLConfig found!" Error

Question

one of my users are reporting this error for my game.

i am using andengine as my engine. Here is the error.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No EGLConfig found!
at org.andengine.opengl.view.ConfigChooser.chooseConfig(ConfigChooser.java:183)
at org.andengine.opengl.view.ConfigChooser.chooseConfig(ConfigChooser.java:157)
at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$EglHelper.start(GLSurfaceView.java:916)
at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.guardedRun(GLSurfaceView.java:1246)
at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.run(GLSurfaceView.java:1116)

My question is, is there anything i can do to avoid this error?

It may also be worth noting that OpenGL ES 2.0 is not supported in the emulator — Paul Gregoire, Feb 23 '12 at 23:01

You must enable the emulator GPU.

To do this in Eclipse go to Window > AVD Manager select your AVD and click "Edit...".

Check the "Use Host GPU" box, then save and restart your AVD.

This exception appears if you use custom rom on your device, like cyanogenmod. And there is no way to prevent it.

Well, this is not true, at least not anymore. I have the latest cyanogenmod on my SGS and I'm running the andengine just fine. – Gonan Feb 21 '13 at 02:04

Create AVD with Target 4.0.3 -API Level 15 with GPU Emulation yes. My example stated running after this. IF you have further problem visit AndEngine Forum and get detail about OpenGL drivers
