Open NFC Simulator not working for Android emulator

Question

I'm trying to emulate NFC card reading in Android Emulator, using Open NFC v4.5.2 for that purpose.

I have followed all steps indicated here:

HOWTO use the NFC Simulator with the Open NFC add-on included in the delivery

I have also tried with insturctions from other StackOverflow posts such this or this, with no success.

When I start the emulator I'm not able to turn-on NFC in Settings->Wireless & networks->NFC, and NFC Controller Simulator doesn't show any activity:

Following is the capture of the Connection Center:

Any hints on how can I make this to work?

EDIT: Following is the output I get from adb logcat:

W/Settings(  381): Setting airplane_mode_on has moved from android.provider.Sett
ings.System to android.provider.Settings.Global, returning read-only value.
W/Trace   (  447): Unexpected value from nativeGetEnabledTags: 0

Answer 1

I have suspicion that it might depend on versions of image of Android inside the emulator, have you used the image (or whole set) from:

http://open-nfc.org/wp/home/downloads/

or from Google distribution?
