Android emulator User Guide

Android emulator is based on the qemu virtual machine. The entire android stack (including Linux kernel) runs on this virtual machine. Emulator requires a configuration file to specify the shape of the simulated mobile phone and the ram size. These configuration information is collectively referred to as Android virtual device, see http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/avd.html for details

When emulator is started, specify an AVD. In eclipse-> preference-> Android, an option is the parameter of emulator. You can add anything you want here.

Emulator also has a console. Telnet localhost 5554 can control the network settings of emulator. The port can be viewed on the title bar of emulator. For details, see
