Android Emulator Setup

During development it’s convenient to test your code in a virtual device. Use Android Studio to create a device emulator, and install the virtual device build of your mobile app into it.

Configure Minimum Required Android Emulator Settings

Ensure your virtual device meets the minimum device and Android API version requirements to run your mobile app.
Review the minimum requirements for your mobile app.
  1. Download and install the latest version of Android Studio.
    If you already have Android Studio installed, there’s no need to reinstall it.
  2. Launch Android Studio.
  3. Click More Actions or More Actions button with three vertical dots in the top left, depending on your version of Android Studio, and then select Virtual Device Manager from the dropdown.
