#FAST ANDROID EMULATOR FOR MAC INSTALL#
The fastest and easiest way I've found to test Android applications is via the BlueStacks app player. If your development machine has Intel-based hardware you can accelerate the emulation process by using IntelĀ® HAXM technology, but AMD users are not yet so lucky. The configurable Android virtual machines in Eclipse/Android Studio are notably sluggish and don't work well with many third party frameworks, especially those powered by C++. Testing Android applications on PC or Mac without a physical device can be quite a burden.
