speeding up android emulator

Question

as an android developer I have experienced a lot of troubles due to the lack of speed in the android emulator. in some instances I had had to wait about three minutes in order to get a response. so is there any way to speed up the android emulator as it took much of development time which in most cases quite valuable.

You can try using GenyMotion as an alternative.

Instead of using the native emulator, try using the Android OS in a virtual machine. http://www.bobbychanblog.com/2011/07/faster-android-emulator-alternative-using-virtualbox/. Hope it helps.

Have you tried the Genymotion third-party Android emulator? The stock one is notoriously slow.
