Android Studio Speeding up Emulator?

Question

Any way I could speed up the Android Studio Emulator even on an older laptop? I don't have a physical android device to plug in and rely on the emulator

Answer 1

I got two tips: Disable the Boot Animation Click Debug Configurations > Your Debug Configuration > Target and un-select that option

and the biggest thing that will help is literally never closing the emulator. If it's open and you're not using it, just let it be. Closing it and opening it again later takes forever

Answer 2

For Android Emulator, I always use Genymotion. You should use it to speed up emulation on Android.

I'm working with Android Studio and it's working fine !
