Android Question How to create IDE emulator

[wdegler]

After a period of time away and some computer crashes, I have reloaded and installed the latest Java SDK and ADK bundle, then opened one of my previously written and published programs. It compiles all right but does not find a device emulator. I select "Run AVD Manager" but it does nothing I can see even after a wait, to allow me to set up an emulator.

My memory of things like this needs review. How can I set up an emulator to complete a compile and run?

I don't recommend you to use the emulator at all. If you have a real device then use it instead. You can connect with a USB cable or B4A-Bridge.

If not then use one of the Android virtual machines (genymotion for example).

You can also start the emulator by opening AVD Manager from Android SDK.

Thank you Erel for your response and advice.
When developing apps in the past, I have found it more convenient to use the emulator than to keep my smartphone connected by USB for extended periods of time, then use the smartphone periodically at various stages of development. The emulator as used before no longer works.

As Erel said: use Genymotion.
SDK emulator and Genymotion is like truck and learjet
