<![CDATA[AVD Black screen issue]]>Hello fellow Qt Devs,

I am experiencing some issues when loading the compiled programmes to Android Virtual Device. Sometimes the app gets loaded and runs but nothing is being rendered, only black screen is left.
Since I installed support for Android development half-manually through downloading Java JDK and letting QtCreator download the rest, I wanted to ask if having Android Studio on the machine might help with this issue or not.
When it has black screen i ttried to restart the computer , and one time it worked, other times it didnt. I also uninstalled Android and reinstalled and that helped, but only the issue still reemerged later.

Cheers,
DSU

Cause I remember there would be only "Start AVD, Stop AVD, and "Select Device" or something. Or do I need to switch it in config file from hw.gpu.mode=auto to hw.gpu.mode=software as Mr. Payrang(https://medium.com/@20x05zero/fixing-the-android-studio-emulator-black-screen-issue-when-cold-boot-fails-7657288f0ac7) suggests?
