Android Studio 3.2.
I create 2 emulators by Android Studio. Nice.
But the question is:
Is it possible to create android emulator WITHOUT Android Studio?
Our QA need to use emulators for test our applications. But it not need Android Studio.
How QA can create android emulator without Android Studio?
There are a lot of 3th party emulators out there, which are quite easy to use and fast to set up. Just have a quick look in your favorite search engine. But here is a short list of better known ones:
BlueStacks
Genymotion
Nox App Player
MeMu
ARChon
KoPlayer
They should all be able to run your app on a pc to show someone. Have a look on them and inform yourself about the licensing and features.
1 - Download Java JDK from the following link and install: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
2 - Download the Android SDK from the following link and install: https://android-sdk.uptodown.com/windows/descargar
3 - Download Intel HAXM from the following link and install: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-intel-haxm
4 - Start the SDK Manager, install the tools and platforms you need.
5 - Start AVD Manager and create new emulator.
Yes, we can setup Android Emulator without installing Android Studio. We have to download commandline-tools and use sdkmanager, avdmanager, emulator tools to make an emulator and run it.

for some reason, I don't want to install android studio(one of them is I don't have enough space for now) but instead, I want to work with vscode and nox(or genymotion). and my question is: Is it possible to connect vscode and an (android and ios) emulator to see the result? in other words, I want to connect the nox as an emulator to vscode and see the result inside of it.
Android studio take too much space and even my computer also become hot when open Android studio. But what I did I installed Android studio and Android emulator but I don't use Android studio rather I use VScode.
So as far as I know you need Android studio to install emulator then you can use VScode with it.
Finally, I found out how I can connect Genymotion to the VS Code(without Installing Android Studio).in total SDK manager wasn't installed on my laptop, so at first, I installed it. and then
Platform Tools (ADB & Fastboot)
Install Platform
Add System Image
Install Build Tools
but wait I just name the steps I've done. you can follow this article on this link to get more details.
and finally, instead of installing an emulator, I used Genymotion with Flutter in VS Code, which you can follow in this article to get more information. Click here
I am new with flutter. when connecting the device the pc detects it but not the vscode
However, here I leave what flutter doctor throws. I'm new to flutter so I don't quite understand what they suggest. I already have usb debugging enabled developer options install via usb etc. it's a redmi 9a.
Simple way:
Download android studio
Click Tools > SDK Manager. Or
In the SDK Tools tab,
In the SDK platforms tab, install any one android version
Go to the windows terminal and accept android licenses.
flutter doctor --android-licenses
Make sure you have vs code extensions for flutter installed and then restart your VS Code.
You also have to enable USB debugging in developer options in your mobile in order to get detected by your PC
There is a hard way too without installing android studio.
I'm using VS Code as my IDE for Flutter and I'm trying to run my app in a Genymotion machine. How can I do that? The machine doesn't appear in VS Code bottom bar in the Devices section.
N.B:
I'm not looking for any solutions regarding Android emulators or Android Studio, only VS Code with Genymotion.
Alright, so after an hour or so of searching I found out the solution. It's entirely the same as the approach of using Genymotion in Android Studio. The only difference is you don't need to install a plugin for VS Code. However, in my case, it was a bug in Genymotion it self. I was using v3.0.1 which had some incompatibility bug with Android SDK 28 and this was the reason why the Genymotion machine did not show up as a device in VS Code, because this latter relies on Android SDK to determine what are the devices that run Android.
The solution for me was simply upgrading my Genymotion to v3.0.2 which fixed the incompatibility with Android SDK 28.
In case anyone runs into this problem in the future and this doesn't work, make sure that your Genymotion ADB settings use the Android SDK installed in your machine by Android Studio and not the one shipped with Genymotion itself.
I am unable to run the emulator in android studio. I received a "Your cpu does not support required features (VT-x or SVM)" message. Someone told me to try and do what this link states "http://www.howtogeek.com/213795/how-to-enable-intel-vt-x-in-your-computers-bios-or-uefi-firmware/" which led me to a video and I tried following those directions but was unable to because first, there was no HyperV feature in the Windows features section. Second, there was no UEFI Firmware settings icon when I went to advanced settings in set up. How can I proceed from here to enable the VT-x in order for me to be able to use the emulator in Android studios? Thank you so much!!
Okay your cpu does not support is not the same as cannot use emulator you just have to use one that runs x86 images which is in fact GenyMotion...
https://www.genymotion.com/
sign up for free account and when you download you want the full install package with virtualbox included.
and it does support instantrun just like the google android emulators do
You will also find the android studio genymotion plugin at the same site to download and use with android studiio
I wanted to create an android app. Therefore I installed Eclipse IDE and installed other required SDK packages. But when I tried installing HAXM emulator my system did not support the virtualisation technology. Is there any other emulator that I can use or is there any way that I can create an android app online and run it online.
Try the Visual Studio Emulator for Android if you're on a PC. It's a fast, x86, Hyper-V emulator and comes free with Visual Studio 2015 (you can try out CTP5 here)
