Speeding Up Android Emulator

-
If you are an Android developer who is unhappy with the performance of the Android emulator, you are at the right place to look for a solution. Over and over again, we have heard from many Android developers that the emulator is slow and painful to work with,
but this should not be the case! If you are using a fairly up-to-date computer with an Intel processor that has Intel Virtualization Technology enabled running Microsoft Windows OS, then you can use the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel HAXM), or KVM for Linux*, to accelerate the Android Emulator by an order of magnitude very easily, which will speed-up your testing and debugging of your Android applications.

hardware drivers.
To use Virtual Machine Acceleration you need,
  • x86 AVD
  • processor which supports virtualization extensions
  • Android SDK Tools, Revision 17 or higher
and to configure graphics acceleration, you need
  • graphics processing unit (GPU)
  • Android SDK Tools, Revision 17 or higher
