Hello,
I was having serious performance problems on a Windows XP pro 32-bit OS running
on a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 with 1 GByte of RAM. The Android emulator stalled when I
tried to invoke the HelloAndroid test app. It took at least 5 minutes to
display "Hello, World".
I setup Android on my Windows 7 pro 64-bit machine. I downloaded 32-bit Ubuntu
Lucid Lynx 10.04.1 to a VirtualBox on this machine. I gave the Ubuntu OS
5.25GBytes of RAM and 20GBytes of harddisk in the VirtualBox. I downloaded
32-bit eclipse Galileo 3.5.2 onto Ubuntu. I downloaded the 32-bit Android sdk
and Android ADT plug-in. The VirtualBox is running a 32-bit OS and emulating a
64-bit OS.
When I run Android on top of eclipse Galileo in the setup, it takes 1 minute
for
the "Hello, World" to appear in the emulator window. The emulator appears to
hang-up, but if you press the MENU button on the emulator, the UI will respond
and un-freeze the display. I've searched the internet, and I don't think this
emulator every runs faster than about 1 minute to load and display the apk.
Has anyone had better performance than I have had?
Best regards,
