<p>The Android Emulator simulates a device and displays it on your development
computer. It lets you prototype, develop, and test
Android apps without using a hardware device. The emulator supports Android
phone, tablet, Android Wear, and Android TV devices. It comes with predefined
device types
so you can get started quickly, and you can create your own device definitions
and emulator skins.</p>

<p>The Android Emulator is fast,
powerful, and feature-rich. It can transfer information faster than using
a connected hardware device, speeding up the development process. The
multi-core feature lets the emulator take advantage of multiple core
processors on your development computer to improve emulator performance even
more.</p>

<h2 id="about">About the Android Emulator</h2>

<p>You can launch an app on the emulator when you run your project, or you can
drag an APK file onto the emulator to install it. As with a hardware device,
after you install an app
on a virual device, it remains until you uninstall or replace it. If needed, you
can test how multiple apps, such as your own or system apps, work with each
other.</p>

<h3 id="features">Features for trying out your apps</h3>

<p>You interact with the emulator just as you would with a hardware device, but
using your mouse and keyboard, and emulator buttons and controls.
The emulator supports virtual hardware buttons and touchscreens, including
two-finger operations,
as well as directional pads (D-pads), trackballs, wheels, and various
sensors. You can dynamically resize the emulator window as needed, zoom in and
out, change the orientation, and even take a screenshot.</p>

<p>When your app is running on
the emulator, it can use the services of the Android platform to invoke other
apps, access the network, play audio and video, accept audio input,
store and retrieve data, notify the user, and render graphical transitions and
themes. The emulator has controls that let
you easily send incoming phone calls and text messages, specify
the location of the device, simulate fingerprint scans, specify network
speed and status, and simulate battery properties. The emulator can
simulate an SD card and internal data storage; you can drag a file, such as a
graphics or data file, onto the emulator to store it.</p>

<h3 id="avds">Android Virtual Device configurations</h3>

<p>The emulator uses an Android Virtual Device (AVD) configuration to determine
the look, functionality, and system image of the simulated device. AVDs let you
define certain hardware aspects of your emulated devices and allow you to create
many configurations to test different Android platforms and hardware
permutations.</p>

<p>Each AVD functions as an independent device, with its own private storage for
user data, SD card, and so on. When you launch the emulator with an AVD
configuration, it automatically loads the user data and SD card data from the
AVD directory. By default, the emulator stores the user data, SD card data, and
cache in the AVD directory.</p>

<p>To create and manage AVDs, use the
<a href="{@docRoot}tools/devices/managing-avds.html">AVD Manager</a>.
For more information, see
<a href="{@docRoot}tools/devices/index.html">Managing Virtual Devices</a>.</p>

<h3 id="system">System images</h3>

<p>The Android Emulator runs a full
Android system stack, down to the kernel level, that includes a set of
preinstalled apps (such as the dialer) that you can access from your
apps. You can choose which version of the Android system you want to
run in the emulator when creating AVDs.
</p>

<p>The Android system images available through the AVD Manager contain
code for the Android Linux kernel, the native libraries, the VM, and the
various Android packages (such as the Android framework and preinstalled
apps).</p>

<h3 id="dependencies">Dependencies and prerequisites</h3>
<p>The Android Emulator has the following requirements:</p>
    <ul>
  <li>Android Studio 2.0 or higher</li>
  <li>SDK Tools 25.0.10 or higher</li>
  <li><a href="{@docRoot}sdk/index.html#Requirements">System
  requirements</a></li>
  <li>Newly created AVDs to replace any AVDs for emulator 24.0.<em>x</em> or
  lower</li>
  <li>Active network connection for certain operations, such as testing app
  features that require it</li>
    <li>adb integration enabled through <strong>Tools</strong> &gt;
    <strong>Android</strong> &gt; <strong>Enable ADB Integration</strong>
    </li>
</ul>

<h3 id="limitations">What's not supported</h3>

<p>The Android Emulator supports most features of a device, but doesn't
include virtual hardware for:</p>
<ul>
<li>WiFi</li>
<li>Bluetooth</li>
<li>NFC</li>
<li>SD card insert/eject</li>
<li>Device-attached headphones</li>
<li>USB</li>
</ul>
<p>The watch emulator for Android Wear doesn't support the Overview
(Recent Apps) button, D-pad, and fingerprint sensor.</p>

<p>While most end users of phones and tablets tend to use earlier API levels,
Android Wear and Android TV users tend to use the latest releases. Using recent
releases can give you a better experience using the emulator.
</p>

<h2 id="runningapp">Running an App in the Android Emulator</h2>

<p>You can run an app from an Android Studio project. Or, you can run an app
that's been installed on the emulator as you would run any app on a device.</p>

<p>To start the emulator and run an app in your project:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open an Android Studio project and select Run <img src="{@docRoot}images/tools/e-irun.png"
  style="vertical-align:sub;margin:0;height:17px" alt="Run icon" />.</li>
  <p>The <em>Select Deployment Target</em> dialog appears.</p>
<img src="{@docRoot}images/tools/e-selectdeploymenttarget.png"
style="height:250px" alt="Select Deployment Target dialog" />
<li>If you receive an error or warning message at the top of the dialog, click
the link to correct the problem or get more information.</li>
<p>The <strong>No USB devices or running emulators detected</strong> warning
means that you don’t currently have any emulators running, or any detected
hardware devices connected to your computer. If you
don’t have hardware devices connected to your computer, or any emulators
running, you can ignore it. </p>
<p>Some errors you must fix before you can continue, such as certain Hardware
Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel® HAXM) errors.</p>
<li>In the <em>Select Deployment Target</em> dialog, select an existing emulator
definition, and then click <strong>OK</strong>.</p>
<p>If you don’t see a definition you want to use, click <strong>Create New
Emulator</strong> to launch the AVD Manager. After you define a new AVD, in
the <em>Select Deployment
Target</em> dialog, click <strong>OK</strong>.</p>
<p>If you want to use this emulator definition as the default for your project,
select <strong>Use same selection for future launches</strong>.</p>
<p>The emulator launches and displays your app.</p>
<li>Test your app in the emulator.</li>
<p>You can use the features described in the following sections:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#navigate">Navigating on the Screen</a></li>
<li><a href="#tasks">Performing Basic Tasks in the Emulator</a></li>
<li><a href="#extended">Working With Extended Controls, Settings, and Help</a></li>
</ul>
<li>To close the emulator, click Close <img src="{@docRoot}images/tools/e-iclose.png"
  style="vertical-align:sub;margin:0;height:17px" alt="Close icon" />.</li>
  <p>The emulator device stores the installed app so you can run it again, if
  needed. You need to uninstall an app to remove it. If you run the project
  again on the same emulator, it replaces the app with the new version.</p>
</ol>

<h2 id="runningemulator">Launching the Android Emulator Without Running an App</h2>

<p>To start the emulator:</p>
<ol>

<li>Double-click an AVD, or click Run <img src="{@docRoot}images/tools/e-irun.png"
  style="vertical-align:sub;margin:0;height:17px" alt="Run icon" />.</li>
  <p>The Android Emulator appears.</p>
  <p>While the emulator is running, you can run Android Studio projects and
  choose the
  emulator as the target device. You can also drag one or more APKs onto the
  emulator to install them, and then run them.</p>
</ol>

  an app that includes keyboard shortcuts, such as one targeted at
  devices with Bluetooth keyboards, you can change this setting to send
  <em>all</em> keyboard input to the virtual device, including input
  that would be a shortcut in the emulator.</li>
  <li> <strong>Screenshot save location</strong> - Click the folder icon to
  specify a location to save screenshots of the emulator screen.</li>
  <li> <strong>Use detected ADB location</strong> - If you're running the
  emulator from Android Studio, you should select this setting (the default).
  If you run the emulator from outside Android Studio and want it to use a
  specific adb executable, deselect this option and specify the SDK Tools
  location. If this setting is incorrect, features such as drag-and-drop app
  install and file copy, and screenshot capture, won't work. </li>
  <li> <strong>When to send crash reports</strong> - Select Always, Never, or
  Ask. </li>
