I'm having problems starting my Android Emulator to test code I have written in Android Studio. The emulator starts but does not open it just continues to load for what seems like forever. I have tried installing HAXM on my laptop after doing some research thinking this would make the emulator load faster but when I try to run the installer on my computer I get an error message. It says "This computer does not support Intel Virtulization Technology (VT-x). HAXM Cannot be installed. Please refer to Intel HAXM for more information." I'm not sure if this means that I can't install HAXM on my laptop at all or if I need to adjust the settings to be able to. Any type of advice on this would be helpful because this is really slowing down my development process.

If you are using the built in emulator for Android Studio, many other people have found it to be slow. This was the case when I started using Android Studio a few versions back. I'm not sure whether the default emulator has improved since then.

Most Android developers are using the Genymotion emulator (www.Genymotion.com) and/or actual phones and tablets that they plug in via USB.

  • Thanks joshgoldeneagle I have GenyMotion installed on my laptop now and it's emulator is running perfectly fine. I've heard about it before but never thought to look into it until I switched laptops and had the problems with the default emulator. – Blaine Aug 12 '15 at 03:47

you can check whether your processor (must be Intel) support VT at ark.intel.com and type in the model number of your processor.
