I use the dual OS on my laptop. When I run the android virtual device via windows, it is so smooth. But when I change to my ubuntu 20.04, it is lag. Can I set up anything in ubuntu to test my app on an Android virtual device?
Android Studios drains a lot of RAM while it is functioning and moreover that you are using dual operating systems. There will be a lot of burden on your processor to run both VirtualBox and Android Studios. That is the reason you are getting lag. Please check your processor speed and RAM specifications of your system and try to run Android Studios on your base operating system.

My AVD in android studio is not booting or opening it just keep on loading it takes forever and I tried a lot of things but nothing seems to be working.
I am using Windows 10, 4GB Ram, and am using the latest version of android studio.
may be the ram of your virtual device is higher and makes your PC busy, so you can decrease the ram of your virtual device or download other virtual devices which doesn't take more ram .
Another option is to use GenyMotion , it is a virtual machine provider software that you can integrate with android studio easily, it's very fast , it's as just like an actual device , you can download it from here

I'm kind of new in the world of developing Android.
I installed Android studio 2.1.3 on my Dell, core i5, 8 GM memory, Windows 10 (x64 machine) HAXM is enabled and running.
I created a virtual device (Nexus 4 or Nexus s), but they work very very slow and almost not responding.
I found a workaround to work with other emulator (there it works smoothly)
I installed in other machine (Windows 7 x64, and there all works OK.
What can I do to improve the performance of the Android virtual device in Android Studio?
I've faced very similar issue in Windows 10 machine (16gb ram, i5 6th generation). I've tried multiple options in Android Studio and nothing work until I've
install Windows Hypervisor Platform in control panel (look it up in
start menu)
In general android simulator is slow, although you can try to allocate it more virtual memory in settings.
Recommended: Try using another simulator Genymotion
Your best bet would be Genymotion. It's way faster than Android's native virtual devices.
I have a question that looks quite complicated. I need to setup a complete development environment for Android in a virtual machine. I mean, create a virtual machine (player is Virtualbox last version) with Windows 8.1 as guest os.
In this vm, I installed Android Studio which works quite well. My problem is in running any android virtual device. I know I can't run x86 based emulator because I can't disable hyper-v, but I read somewhere that is should be possible to run arm based emulator (even if they are very slower). In fact, I can create and start an emulator, but it stuck with a blank screen, nothing happens and, of course, I can't deploy any application.
My question is:
1. Is it possible to run an AVD in a virtual machine?
2. My virtual machine has a memory of 2GB, maybe this isn't enough for running the AVD?
Thank you in advance
Please let me know the recommend requirement to run the eclipse and Android emulator simantaniously?
I've a laptop powered by Intel i3 processor 1.7 GHz clock speed, 4 GB RAM and windows 10, Bitdefender antivirus installed but I'm not able to work on these tools smoothly. But on desktop powered by 2.8GHz dual core 3GB ram it works smoothly.
The Android emulator is only showing Android logo at very slowly and it doesn't starts up for about 10 minutes on idle.
Please list down all the recommended requirement which are required to run eclipse and Android emulator simantaniously and smoothly on laptop.
I suggest switching to Android Studio. Support for ADT has ended. Moreover, make sure that you have updated Android SDK. There were improvements in emulators and system images in the last years, which made them faster. You can also switch to Linux (e.g. Ubuntu) because then you can use hardware acceleration for emulators. I'm not sure if it's working on MS Windows. If this won't help, you can try Genymotion.
Do you use Intel HAXM https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager and x86 image in AVD to improve the performance?
In any case, imho to run smootly AVD on a notebook you should have an i7 ULV 2c/4t (i7 4500U or better) and 8gb of RAM.
For development purpose do not use eclipse now, use Android Studio because Google has stopped there support to eclipse. In android studio you can use Genymotion it is faster then eclipse's android emulator.
And about your question the ADT emulator is very slow you have to wait a log time to its get started.Your laptop's configuration is enough. you can use Bluestack http://www.bluestacks.com/ or simply connect your android device via usb and run it on directoly using ADB.
I have 2 machines, one runs Windows 7 and another Mac. Hardware config is almost the same in the two, 2.4 with 4G RAM.
I notice the android simulator is slow in Windows 7, whould it run faster if I intsall Eclipse and Android SDK on the Mac machine?
what about Eclipse and Android SDK in general?
I think android device is better option that simulator it is much much faster than simulator. If you are planning for serious development then you should buy one android device.
I have a 13" Macbook pro (2010 model, 2.4ghz, 4 gig ram) and the emulator is pretty slow on it... I tend to develop mostly on my Linux desktop, which is 2.4ghz machine as well, and while the emulator is slow it's still MUCH faster than the Mac. Eclipse runs about the same on both... actually the Mac might even be slight faster since it has a SSD.
It's been my experience from watching other Macs run the emulator that the emulator is just slow on Mac :(
I know Google recently updated the the ADK to include speed improvements for the emulator, but I haven't tried that yet.
Try running it on mac, I did the same and found that the emulator runs much faster on mac, as compared to windows.
I have a windows 7 laptop 2 yrs old (8GB, i5) and 15inch MacBook pro 2012 (16GB, i7). I might also note that I am primarily a .NET developer, so I should be bias towards OSX.
I found that running the emulator and the ide on a mac runs faster than windows. I know the mac is considerably faster than my windows box but the difference in the speed of eclipse/emulator doesn't jive. The emulator runs smoother. Eclipse compiles faster on my Mac. The debugger settles/attached to hardware devices quicker.
My experience developing with Eclipse (Android SDK) is much more pleasant on the Mac than windows
I develop primarily on a desktop running Windows 8 since most of our apps are written in C#, I always found debugging painful on both a Samsung S3 and using the emulator.
I had read about using Intel HAXM which is available in the Android SDK Downloader, but never enabled it since I use Hyper-V on my desktop as well.
Fast forward, I'm now using a MacBook Pro because of needing to do iPhone development as well. I installed HAXM on the MacBook, and it made the x86 Android emulator run extremely fast.
TLDR: Install Intel HAXM on a machine with a modern CPU and you'll find running apps on your machine significantly faster.
If you do have Hyper V installed, you can disable it temporarily by creating a boot entry that causes Windows to boot with it disabled.
