Problems running ionic 2 on Android (5.1.2

[jufabeck2202]

I have a lot of Problems trying to run Ionic 2 on android.
When i try to run the ionic2 example app on my Android Phone (Android 4.1.2) i get the white screen of death. When i try to run in on the emulater (Android 6.0) it crashes. Where is the problem, and why did it work with Ionic 1?

“A lot of problems” is quite vague - could you be more specific?

If you need to support Android version older than 4.4 then you can use Crosswalk:

Anyone with a working Android 4.3 app for Ionic2

IonicV2 supports android 4.4 and up. The older browser on pre-4.4 devices do not have the features needed for ionic2 and angular 2 to work. Though this can be fixed with crosswalk.

When i try to run in on the emulater (Android 6.0) it crashes.

Could you provide some details, e.g. run ionic info and paste the output here, error, stack trace?

THANKS, i did not know that you have to use Crosswalk, i will look into that tomorrow
