I am building an app with NativeScript, where I run:
$ tns run android --emulator
to build the app and launch it in an emulator. When I do this, the default android emulator boots on my machine, which is unusably slow...
In all the demos, they are using the Genymotion Emulator. I have installed this, but the NativeScript command still launches the default emulator. How do I get this to launch on the genymotion emulator?
NB: I am using Windows 10
Even if I run the command with the Genymotion emulator running (and nothing else), I get the following log output and a new terminal window is opened running android-sdk/tools/emulator-arm.exe

Starting Android emulator with image Xamarin_Android_API_23
That looks as though it is referencing the emulator I had been using when I was developing with Xamarin. Any ideas where I can change that, or why that is being called?
start Genymotion, then start one of the devices that you have setup in Genymotion
then check that the device is seen:
$ tns device
then run nativescript like so
$tns run android --geny 192.111.222.33:555
(or whatever is the name that you get from the tns device command)
