INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS when install apk

Question

I tried to install my app into Android L Preview Intel Atom Virtual Device, it failed with error:

INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS

What does

Answer 1

INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS is when you are trying to install an app that has native libraries and it doesn't have a native library for your cpu architecture. For example if you compiled an app for armv7 and are trying to install it on an emulator that uses the Intel architecture instead it will not work.
