The ridiculously slow startup time of the default Android emulator makes app development excruciating. This article is the first one I'll be reading on getting back into Android development.
- swanson 14y agoAre you restarting the emulator often? You can just start it up once and then redeploy the app to the already running emulator...
- lnanek2 14y agoMake sure to enable snapshots when creating an emulator. It will still have the ridiculous startup the very first time, but after that startup is quick and shutdown is slow. Much in line with what the blog author is saying, this feature was added after the initial launch and isn't checked by default. Also make sure you aren't closing the emulator each time you finish running. Just leave it open in the background and running the app again later will deploy to the same instance as last time without any startup at all. Sorry if you know all this, you'd be surprised how many people don't at Android meetups and the like. :)
