Python SL4A in Android for Intel Architecture

Hello
Has anyone considered using Scripting Languages for Android (SL4A) for the Android platform on Intel Architecture. I started to write a few programs on Eclipse using Python as a scripting language but got stuck due less resource availability and further support in this field of Android programming.
Does anyone have any info about using graphics in Scripting Languages for Android? If Yes please can you suggest any Books,or resources so that I can continue my devlopment.

Windows 8 support in HAXM

Eingereicht von vzvezda am

After upgrading to Windows 8 Preview I noticed that HAXM is not longer work. When trying to install itextra_intel_haxm-windows_r02 I receive error like "This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). HAXM cannot be installed." Not a critical issue as I still can use emulator without HAXM, just asking.

Android Emulator x86 system image error and warning

I'd like to report a problem with Android Emulator when executed froma command line:

..\\tools>emulator-x86.exe -gps COM6 @AVDx86Platform
...
emulator: ERROR: Could not load OpenGLES emulation library: Could not load DLL!
emulator: WARNING: Could not initialize OpenglES emulation, using software renderer.
...

The emulator did not crash and worked as usual ( I would even say faster for 10% ).

Best regards,
Sergey

Google Android Emulator vs. Microsoft Emulator for Mobile platforms

I compared memoryusage and performance of Google Androidand Microsoft Emulators. Here are some numbers:

Android Emulator x86 system image - Memory allocated: 1.06GB
Android Emulator ARM system image - Memory allocated: 1.10GB
Microsoft Emulator for Pocket PC ARM - Memory allocated: 0.21GB ( 213MB )
Microsoft Emulator for Smartphone ARM - Memory allocated: 0.21GB ( 213MB )
Microsoft Emulator for Windows Mobile ARM - Memory allocated: 0.34GB ( 339MB )

Why Android Emulator with x86 system image is not running faster when it is executed on x86 system?

First of all, Android Emulator with x86 system image is ~2.5 times faster than Android emulator
with ARM system image. My question is:

Why Android Emulator with x86 system image is not running faster when it is executed on x86 system?

My understanding is that it shouldn't emulate any instructions and it should work as a regular Win32 Java-application.

Note: Please don't recommend to install Intel HAXM. I know that it will speed up the Android Emulator...
