I have tried looking at this SO post but I already have 16GB of RAM and I don't want to decrease AVD memory. I do not understand why the Android Emulator takes up so many resources (%25+ CPU, Almost 1GB of RAM) when running a simple app (Like this: Single Activity with a RecyclerView and its Adapter. That's it). Any help would be appreciated.

My fan is always on when using the Android Emulator in Android Studio.

  • Very minimal change. %25 CPU -> ~%23 CPU – SnakeException Jul 20 '19 at 20:49

This is normal for the Android Emulator. My numbers are the same.

This is a big pain for me and even bigger after upgrading the AndroidStudio version.

One alternative is to use an external Device for Debugging in place of an Emulator.
