Android Emulator startup time is too long


I am using Android Studio with Intel HAXM. The problem is that the Android emulator takes too long to load and once it is loaded it is slow despite the Intel HAXM installation.

Solution

  • I had the similar problem to you in the past, but its just down to your processor (i3) as it cant handle the emulator that well, you can debug/run your app on to an android phone or tablet. If you have either of these to hand you need to go to RUN ---> EDIT CONFIGURATIONS and change the target devices to 'USB device'. On the phone/ tablet you need to go in to developer options and turn on USB debugging, if this doesn't work check to see if you have the phones/tablets drivers installed. There are plenty of tutorials on youtube. Good Luck! :)
