Step-by-Step For Running an Android Emulator
Android Development Tools include an Android emulator used to review and test your Java code. You must first download the ADT files and install them in the Eclipse software, which is the Java environment used to create Android apps. After you install the ADT, you create an Android Virtual Device, which you use to run the emulator while developing your software.
