Answer 1

I just spent hours trying to figure this out. Hopefully you found the answer but I will post this here in case anyone comes along looking for it. I had to use the ARM cpu. I am still looking to see if I can find a solution for x86.

1. Start your AVD and let it hang at the black screen
2. Open a terminal
3. Type telnet localhost 5554 (your port number may differ depending on your avd port)
4. Type redir add tcp:5000:6000
5. Your AVD should load into the lock screen in a few seconds

Answer 2

I had same problem too. I was connected to internet. So I used my actual IP address. Use this command ifconfig -a and get inet addr . Try it please, maybe it can help you.

Answer 3

If you want to connect to localhost, you need to use 10.0.2.2 on emulator.

So, in your case it should be : 10.0.2.2:1970

If you are using Genymotion's emulator use 10.0.3.2 instead 10.0.2.2.
