What is the reason for the error “Device supports x86, but APK only supports armeabi-v7a”

Running an AVD using the x86 processor is 10x faster than using the ARM emulator, but most of the time you are only compiling your APK for ARM. To have faster emulation runs using an x86 AVD I had to do the following (for a Cocos2d-x project):

• app/jni/Android.mk

  APP_ABI := armeabi-v7a:x86
  

• gradle.properties

  PROP_APP_ABI=armeabi-v7a:x86
  

• app/build.gradle

  android {
      ...
      defaultConfig {
          ...
          ndk {
              abiFilters = []
              abiFilters.addAll(PROP_APP_ABI.split(':').collect{it as String})
          }
      }
  }
