Configuring the Android Emulator

Configure a handy Android emulator to stop you from being so disappointed with the simulator [-by]

The Android emulator window, by default, takes up a huge amount of space on the screen and has an onscreen keyboard for no reason, and if you don't use the simulator yourself, there's a problem that's not easy to find: It's almost too slow to use. There are 3 reasons why this problem can be explained:

1. Non-localized. Using the ARM architecture emulator by default, although it is possible to convert instructions to x86, the conversion process is very slow.

2. Non-accelerating. Even if you choose X86, virtual hardware acceleration is not automatically available.

3. Soft Drawing. GPU acceleration is also not available by default, which causes the emulator to be slower.

Here are some ways to solve these problems, so you are no longer so disappointed with the simulator 1. Install the Intel Hardware Accelerated execution Manager for your PC

The following locations can be found in the Android SDK: Extras/intel/hardware_accelerated_execution_manager.

2. Start Android Virtual Device Manager 3. Click New to configure the following information:

Target:android 4.1–api level 18.

Cpu/abi:intel Atom (x86).

SD card:size MiB.

Skin: For the phone size of the simulator, I generally set to the x528. For the flat size, I use the X 648, vertical direction I will add 48 pixels, to set aside on the screen navigation control space.

4. Modify the Hardware default settings:

Abstract LCD density 160

Hardware Back/home Keys:no

Keyboard Support:yes

SD Card Support:yes

GPU Emulation:yes

5. Game over
