Android Development Simulator Selection

Android app development is not particularly high due to the machine configuration, and Android comes with the simulator is very resource-intensive, performance is extremely poor. So often because the simulator performance is poor and crazy, I believe many developers will face the same problems as me. So change a usually rarely used configuration relatively good ThinkPad to try, toss a half day. Finally found that the motherboard does not support "virtualization Technologe", so HAXM can not install, crazy!!!! I can't stand it, I looked it up on the Internet. Many developers recommend using genymotion or hippocampus play and other simulators for development.

1, Hippocampus play simulator: http://www.droid4x.cn/

Download the simulator from the official website step-by-step installation, download completed after the installation of the following performance.

Compared to the native emulator that comes with Android studio, the hippocampus plays a much smaller amount of resources. Program writing and testing can be done very smoothly.

Also click on Android devices Monitor in the Android Studio editor will cause the hippocampus to play disconnected, need attention in development.

2, Genymotion Simulator, Genymotion provides personal free version and enterprise charge version. Registered account after download,: https://www.genymotion.com/.

After the installation of the desktop more of these beautiful icons, do not explain, understand.

　　

Genymotion provides a variety of equipment simulator, after landing according to their own needs to choose the appropriate simulator download. The Nexus 10 device simulator is installed here

The effect is as follows when you start the emulator.

The performance of genymotion is much better than that of the native simulator. Commissioning and development are also smoother, and machines configured for i3, 4G memory run without pressure.

3, the hippocampus play and genymotion, choose Which?

Both of which, because of the lack of more in-depth development testing, is not good for the time being. But one thing to say is that Genymotion offers more analog devices, and perhaps genymotion is a better choice. But also saw the data that the hippocampus play performance than genymotion higher, no further testing, so it is unclear.
