I'm trying to start developing applications for Android, but unfortunately I'm having some problems using the Android Studio emulator when testing the application. Basically when trying to run I get the following error:

Emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!

Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.

CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

I researched a little and read some solutions, including

Disable Hyper-V using d "ism.exe / Online / Disable-Feature: Microsoft-Hyper-V"
Disable hardware-assisted virtualization in Avast
After doing both things try installing Intel HAXM

And all this went wrong. Whenever I try to install Intel HAXM I get an error

This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). HAXM can not be installed. Please refer to the Intel HAXM documentation for more information.

Researching more li that does not have how to install this Intel HAXM using AMD processor. Is this really the case? Do not have any solution to be able to use the emulator using an AMD processor?

Can not use hardware acceleration for the AMD processor emulator on Windows and Mac if I'm not mistaken, AMD processors are only supported on Linux according to documentation .

In this case you should use an emulator image that is not for x86 processors, but the execution should be very slow. The ideal still I think it would be you to directly use an Android device to debug, think faster and more practical than using emulators.

If you need to debug your application, you have the BlueStacks emulator, I use it and I find it quick to debug apps, I can access the database directly, anyway ... try to take a look, maybe it will help you. link to access debug mode, sometimes you have to go to the cmd and type "adb connect 127.0.0.1" after that it appears in Android Studio

I'm having the same problem and it seems like there's no such a solution.

What's working for me is to use the Android emulator "Andy", which I had already installed on the PC for other reasons, so it was very practical.

If you already have Andy open, clicking on run 'app' will bring up a window where the emulator will appear as if it were a real connected device and will simulate right there.

If your processor is AMD you really can not use HAXM technology. But you can use the android studio emulator. Just open AVD Manager > Creat virtual device (choose the desired setting, or create one) > next > Ecola the ABI that starts with "amr" (There are two, you can choose any one of them, I use the one of TARGT - Google APIs). Choose a name for it. At the time you run will appear the emulator options available, then just choose the one you created. Remember that if you have error in the project code that is open or configuration errors, the emulator will not open. The difference in not being able to use HAXM is that the emulator will be very slow. Anyway the best option is to test your applications on a real device, it's the fastest one.
