I am getting an InstallException when running tests.

The problem is similar to the following stackoverflow question
https://stackoverflow.com/q/32276397/5758378

I tried the suggested solution
https://stackoverflow.com/a/30254848/5758378

I tried adding the timeout in various ways:
In my gradble file, by means of an environment variable and as a parameter to the ./gradlew connectedAndroidTests command, but I can’t solve it.

Here’s my full circle.yml file:

general:
artifacts:
    - /home/ubuntu/popular-movies-app/app/build/outputs/apk/

machine:
environment:
    ADB_INSTALL_TIMEOUT: 8
    ANDROID_HOME: /usr/local/android-sdk-linux

dependencies:
  cache_directories:
- /home/ubuntu/.android
- /home/ubuntu/android
  override:
    - echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter "tools,platform-tools,android-23"
    - echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter "build-tools-23.0.2"
 test:
   override:
     - emulator -avd circleci-android22 -no-audio -no-window:
        background: true
        parallel: true
   - circle-android wait-for-boot
   - (./gradlew connectedAndroidTest):
       timeout: 1200
   - cp -r app/build/outputs $CIRCLE_ARTIFACTS
   - cp -r app/outputs/androidTest-results/* $CIRCLE_TEST_REPORTS

Note that with the emulator image circleci-android21 this doesn’t occur, tests execute successfully…
