I create a blank cordova application in visual studio 2015 and start debugging with the visual studio android emulators (first with the lollipop and then kitkat). XDE starts
On my machine I could start the emulator but I got an OpenGL error when trying to deploy and debug. I realized my issues started after I installed Docker. On a whim I decided to shut down Docker and disable the vEthernet (DockerNAT) Network Connection. This fixed my issue. Now, whenever I need to use the Andoird emulator I have to shut down Docker. Then when I'm done debugging I enable/restart Docker.
