- ch0wn 13y agoHaving used both the iOS simulator and the Android emulator, I don't really see why people continue to complain. There are even x86 images for the Google APIs and at least on my MacBook with that the emulator feels comparably snappy.
- Nemisis7654 13y agoThere is also the excellent Genymotion emulator. http://www.genymotion.com/ http://www.genymotion.com/
- higherpurpose 13y agoYou will get a faster emulator, but since x86 is used on like sub 1 percent Android devices, won't that be more like using a simulator, which would make it just as useless/useful as a simulator? Does the x86 image contain support for ARM, too?
- ZoFreX 13y agoFor most cases the underlying architecture doesn't really matter. "As useful as a simulator" is also quite a high standard for Android, seeing as there is no simulator available.
