Does android studio not support 32 bit ubuntu anymore? I've tried to set up an emulator for AVD's and I kept circling back to the fact that android only supports 64bit.

Not to poke fun here... but if a message says something only works on 64... it's not gonna work on 32... 😉

@ScribeOfGoD well, it's my fault for not clarifying lol. There where actually more "solutions" for setting up AVD. One was an incompatibility issue with the updated developer-tools file and they recommended downgrading it to an earlier version. Also, another "solution" was to use a 64bit kernel to run the emulator. So the reason I asked was to ensure that the latest version could have a work around to run the emulator on 32bit. I haven't seen any notification from android studios that says it's not compatible with 32 bit, but I have seen this claimed from developers in forums

@dalastTomCruise It should be possible to run emulators on 32bit as long as the Android you're emulating is 32bit.

@filthyranter well I will have to double check, but It could be a 64bit version. I will have to check when I get home. Basically if that's the case the only workaround is installing and using a 64bit kernel, but at this point I will just test on a physical device. I was just curious if someone definitively knew the answer. Not really the place to ask now that I look in retrospect lol

@dalastTomCruise I never had to use Android Studio on a 32bit kernel, since all CPUs I ever had support 64bit (and when I still was on Windows XP, I wasn't interested in programming at all...)

@filthyranter well my os is 32bit so my kernel is 32bit by default. And that's causing the compatibility issues from what I have read this far...

@filthyranter also I stay away from windows unless I have to use it

@dalastTomCruise Well, now I'm using Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.10, both quite regularly.

Does your CPU support 64bit? If yes, why are you even using 32bit? If no, why do you still use CPUs from the technical stone age?

@filthyranter so 32bit kernel is.going to translate application code in 32bit (so even if my cpu is 64bit compatible it won't be any good if it's getting a 32bit rendering, because the application is intended as 64bit, thus me needing a 64bit kernel)

@filthyranter it's seems to be more of an OS issue rather than a cpu

@dalastTomCruise Then install a 64bit OS...

@filthyranter yep
