Recently I’ve switched to NixOS as my daily driver and I mainly do Android development.
to start, here is my current configuration:
https://github.com/abdallahmehiz/nix-config
My system configuration is:
- I5 14400 @ 4.70GHz
- 32GB of memory
- 16GB of swap
I have attempted to follow the Android Nix Wiki but nothing on it worked for me.
My current issue is that every time I try to start an Android emulator through the Android Studio UI I am greeted with this error
these are the logs i get when starting Android Studio from android-studio and starting the emulator.
