Android AVD emulator not running app, but device does? (OpenGL)

Issue

Hi I am trying to run some sample openGl code on an emulator. I am new to Android development. It crashes on the emulator but not my device, a Samsung Galaxy Note phone N7000.

The AVD settings I tried were:

Target: Android 4.1 - API Level 16
CPU/ABI: ARM (armeabi-v7a)
SD Card: 32 MiB
Skin: Built-in : WGA800

Here are the errors on the console:

Just recreate or edit your emulator and be sure that under the hardware list you have

GPU Emulation set to Yes
