I am new to android programming and I am fed up with the slowness of the built-in AVD system. I have bluestacks installed and would like to use it instead. It did not appear in the android devices list when I checked on eclipse, so I did a little research and attempted the adb connect localhost:5555 command in the cmd. It said that it was connected successfully, but still didn't work. I am thoroughly stumped and would like a lot of help.
Use Genymotion. It's way faster than AVD, can test on multiple devices and versions easily, and easier to use than Bluestacks.
