Open your Mac’s Terminal (or Command Prompt, if you’re a Windows user) and then ‘change directory’ so the Terminal is pointing at Android SDK’s ‘Tools’ folder. My command looks like this: cd /Users/jessicathornsby/Library/Android/sdk/tools. Next, launch the emulator you created (myemulator) with the -gpu on flag, for example. Genymotion is a new, fast Android emulator developed by the French company Genymobile. It's based on the open-source project AndroVM, and the first beta version was released back in June. It runs on all major platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux). For now it's freely available, but there is also going to be a paid version. I have a problem with the Android emulator64-x86 on Mac OS X 10.11.2 comes with Android Studio 1.5. The startup task a long time a the GUI doesn't response. The task manager shows that the emulator needs up to 100% CPU. I found many question with the same scope, but nothing solve my problem. I have already installed HAXM (latest version 6.0.1).
Feb 22, 2021 On Mac OS X v10.10 Yosemite and higher, the Android Emulator uses the built-in Hypervisor.Framework by default, and falls back to using Intel HAXM if Hypervisor.Framework fails to initialize. To use VM acceleration on macOS when the Hypervisor.Framework is not available, you must install the Intel HAXM kernel extension.
Android emulators are managed through a UI called AVD Manager
AVD Manager has a nice interface when started from Android Studio.
Start Android Studio app, then create a blank project.
Go to the Tools menu -> :Android -> AVD Manager:

In the Select Hardware window , select Nexus 5 as shown in the following snapshot:
Click the Next button.
In the System Image, select the system image Nougat, API Level 25 , ABI x86 :
Click on the download link to download the selected System Image. This download process is done through SDK Manager.
Once the download is complete, click on the Next button.
In the Verify Configuration window, check any parameter :
Then click on the Finish button.
AVD Manager shows you the newly created device:
Click on the launch button to launch the newly created AVD in the emulator.
Notice in the Run Window of Android Studio the command line used to start the device:

Android Studio Emulator Slow Macbook Pro
I am trying to develop some native Android apps using Android Studio (latest) on OS X Yosemite. Currently Android Studio is simply unusable: it is too slow. I am not referring to the Android emulator, which was doubling the development time, but to the source code editor itself.

The main problem is that very often but not always (I would say almost always) it is not able to keep the pace of my editing: when I edit text, characters appear on the screen between one and two seconds later. If I delete characters, I never know which one I reached without waiting for a couple of seconds. If I right-click I wait for the equivalent of geological ages before something is displayed. It is almost impossible to use the graphical layout editor because it is sloooow.
I have also other problems, related to incredible bugs. But I want to focus on this basic functionality.
After a bit of research I ended up increasing its heap space. So I went into:
/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/bin
and modified these values:
Actually I have only increased the allocated memory for the first two of them.
Is there anyone developing for Android on a Mac who was able to increase this basic performance of Android Studio? Is there any hidden trick, combination of JVM and options able to make this app usable?
I am working on a MBP 2.3GHz i7 with 16GB of RAM: is it enough?
