Run it.Ĭonfigure hardware acceleration for the Android Emulator, The Android Emulator can now be run directly in Android Studio. In that directory is some kind of file like intelhaxm-android.exe. Something like:Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras Go to the extras directory of the Android SDK location displayed in the preferences.
Install the HAXM packing by opening IntelHAXM_6.1.1.dmg, then opening IntelHAXM_6.1.1.mpkg in the mounted folder, and following the installer instructions. In Android Studio Go to Tools -> Android -> SDK ManagerĬonfirm you have the latest version of Intel Emulator Accelerator HAXM installed (v6.1.1). To solve the problem above, you can run Genymotion as your Android emulator, and Virtualbox for your Linux guest VM virtual machine. I have a working setup doing exactly this now, and its reasonably simple. it Genymotion lets you run an Android x86 image in another VirtualBox VM - so Yes, there is a way to run a VirtualBox Linux guest VM and the Android emulator at the same time.
So you can't have two hardware assisted virtual machines ran by two different can use qemu (the userland tool commonly paired with kvm ) with software emulation. How can I run the Android emulator together with another VM, You can not have two kernel modules try to use the vt-x extension at once. Google suggests this "solution" on its Android Emulator page in the section about Linux.
If possible it is better to shutdown the Virtualbox emulator and unload its driver (vboxdrv) by running 'sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv stop'. Both Python 2 and Python 3 are supported.Removing the kvm kernel modules (using 'sudo rmmod kvm_intel kvm') makes it possible to run the Virtualbox and the Android emulator at the same time but the performance of the Android emulator in such a setup is extremely bad. To use the Android Emulator Container Scripts, you will need to install Docker, Docker-compose, and KVM, which is mostly a concern if you attempt to use a Cloud service to run the container.
Remote streaming of the emulator can also be used to identify and diagnose bugs. This requires running two additional containers, one for the Envoy web proxy required by gRPC, and another for nginx, which will serve the emulator React app. This script is only supported on Linux at the current time, but it will be ported to macOS and Windows as well, according to Google.Īs an additional bonus, the containerized Android emulator can be run inside a Web browser with WebRTC. This includes supporting ADB, gRPC, and WebRTC. The Docker image creator is responsible for creating a suitable environment for the Android emulator to run. Currently, it only supports downloading the current version of the emulator, but Google say it will eventually support the possibility of downloading older versions to enable reproducing legacy test results.
The former aims to automate the emulator download step described above.
Two key pieces of the the Android Emulator Container Scripts are the Android emulator download script and the Docker image generator. Once the container is running, communication with the emulator is enabled through port 5555: adb connect localhost:5555ĪDB is also used to track failures due to bugs and to diagnose their cause. This last step can be automated with the provided.
Once the files are available locally, Docker can be used to build the image and run it with the proper port mapping in place, ready for a connection to be established via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) CLI tool: docker run -e "ADBKEY=$(cat ~/.android/adbkey)" -device /dev/kvm-publish The command supporting this is emu-docker which allows developers to choose a system image and emulator version from a list and then manually download it using wget. This enables the use of an Android emulator instance running remotely within a continuous testing pipeline, says Google.ĭevelopers can easily choose which emulator version to download and create a Dockerfile to containerize it. The Android Emulator Container Scripts are a set of Python and shell scripts meant to automate the process of running the Android emulator in a Docker container. Google has just made integrating the Android Emulator within a continuous testing pipeline easier by open sourcing the Android Emulator Container Scripts and two related tools. The Android Emulator is the main tool Android developers use to test their apps.
