You mean a full VM?
- sigh_again 2y agoNo, merely using the standard Android emulator, as well as the x86_64 images that have been available for a while (or the ARM64 ones if you're on an M1 and others). With hardware acceleration properly setup, it's a nice experience. https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-commandline https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-commandlin... It does tend to be very unhappy when the system gets under load though, and might be sluggish if you're running a dozen IDEs on the side. (Which, as comment under says, is technically a VM. But QEMU gets a pass at pretending not to be a VM and rather just black wizardry that makes bytes happy)
- NoahKAndrews 2y agoThe Android Emulator is a full VM under the hood. Waydroid is a lighter-weight alternative that uses the Binder implementation in the Linux kernel.
