The Android emulator is a full ARM processor emulator. Very slow and probably always will be. My experience is that Android development is mostly impossible without the real hardware. This Android x86 port looks promising though: http://www.android-x86.org/documents/virtualboxhowto http://www.android-x86.org/documents/virtualboxhowto
- TillE 16y agoYeah, I'm really hoping that they switch over to x86 for the emulator soon, the way Apple does it. It's not awful for simple apps, but it is genuinely impossible to develop an OpenGL ES application on the Android emulator. Use a real device, and the whole process is quite painless.
- zmmmmm 16y agoI've been using android-x86 for most of my development lately. But is there a honeycomb variant yet? The best I've been able to do reliably is Froyo.
