I am attempting to build on the Xoom running 3.0.1. Can anyone please confirm if you are able to install a RenderScript example?

Thank you.


Solution

  • There was an acknowledged problem with the compiler that prevented any of the samples from running. It was addressed here.

    The workaround provided by the android team is to replace your platform-tools directory with the one from a previous release which uses the compiler from 3.0.

    This fix worked for me.
