OpenGL ES 2.0 Support for Android?

I can say Yes on your question. Android emulator supports OpenGL ES 2.0. I created an app with cocos2d-x v.2 (which uses OpenGL ES 2.0). I had same FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 81 error with same stack. I solved this issue by adding

gLSurfaceView.setEGLConfigChooser(8 , 8, 8, 8, 16, 0);

before setting renderer setRenderer:

gLSurfaceView.setCocos2dxRenderer(new Cocos2dxRenderer());

Now I can run my app on Android emulator.

See my question and answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/13719983/307547. My post on this link contains screenshot with AVD settings:

I just fixed the problem without adding any new lines to my source code. In the avd-manager i set "Use Host GPU" for my emulator device. Works now perfectly fine on my Geforce GTX 570.

API Level on emulator device is 16, and min-SDK in Manifest is 15.

Got the same problem. Original Buggy Code:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Log.d(this.getClass().getName(), "Into onCreate Draw triangle");
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,  WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

    if (detectOpenGLES20()){
        Log.d("GLES20", "GL ES 2.0 Supported..............!");
    } else {
        Log.d("GLES20", "GL ES 2.0 Not Supported...............!");
    }

    view = new GLSurfaceView(this);
    view.setEGLContextClientVersion(2);
    view.setEGLConfigChooser(true);
    view.setRenderer(new TriangleRenderer(view));
    setContentView(view);
}

Solved by :

a.) Replacing this code line

view.setEGLConfigChooser(true);

with

view.setEGLConfigChooser(8, 8, 8, 8, 16, 0);

b.) Setting -gpu on via Eclipse --> Run as ---> Target ---> Additional Emulator Command Line Options

Adding a little more to the above discussion:
There were two different Exception messages I came across while working with the above piece of code

FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 75 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No configs match configSpec

and

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No config chosen
