title: EGL_emulation failed to establish connection to host - android
body: <p>I am trying to run a simple OpenGL program in Android. I am running this in an Android 4.1 emulator. I switched on its GPU emulation and it worked fine yesterday. When I ran that today, initially it was hanging saying, <code>OpenGL taking time to render - Wait or Close dialog box</code>. After few runs again it was crashing saying</p>
  
  <pre><code>E/EGL_emulation(2637): Failed to establish connection with the host

  <p>I guess the emulator is not able to take control of the GPU of the system, so how do I avoid this error? How do I rectify this problem?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance. :)</p>
