Install the HAXM Driver by running "IntelHaxm.exe".

To do this, launch the Android SDK Manager and update all the Android SDK components. Make sure your Eclipse installation and the ADT plug-in are fully up-to-date.Īfter each Eclipse plug-in update, it is important to update your Android SDK Tools. Steps for Configuring Your Android Development Environment for HAXM The interface between QEMU and the HAXM driver on the host system is designed to be vendor-agnostic. HAXM stands for - "Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager"Ĭurrently it supports only Intel® VT (Intel Virtualization Technology). IMPORTANT NOTE: Please first refer to the Intel list about VT to make sure your CPU supports Intel VT. The final step was selecting Use Host GPU in Android Virtual Device Manager (AVD).Īfter these changes Android Emulator was launching in 5-10 seconds and running without any noticeable lag.īe aware that these features are hardware dependent (CPU/GPU) and may not work on some systems. This improved things considerably, but the emulator was still feeling a bit sluggish. HAXM works with Intel devices, so created a new Emulator with Intel CPU. To run the installed I had to go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and manually launch intelhaxm.exe. In the version of Android Studio I used (0.8.9), Android SDK Manager downloads HAXM, but doesn't actually run the installer (I assume this will be fixed in later releases). In the SDK Manager it's located under Extras. This can be downloaded directly from Intel or using Android SDK Manager.

First, install the Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM).
