<strong>Android Emulator 2.0</strong>:
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Performance improvements:
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Emulator now uses CPU acceleration on x86 emulator system images by
|
|
||||||
default.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Added <a href="{@docRoot}training/articles/smp.html">SMP</a> support
|
|
||||||
to take advantage of host multi-core architecture when emulating Android
|
|
||||||
6.0 (API level 23) or higher, resulting in much better performance and
|
|
||||||
speed than the physical counterpart. Also with SMP support, you can test
|
|
||||||
apps that specifically target multi-core Android devices.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Improved data and APK push-pull protocol between the the <a href=
|
|
||||||
"{@docRoot}tools/help/adb.html">Android Debug Bridge</a> and devices
|
|
||||||
running Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher. See speed improvements up
|
|
||||||
to five times faster than using a physical device.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Extended UI controls and a floating toolbar provide easy access to features
|
|
||||||
previously available only through the command line, such as taking screen
|
|
||||||
captures, adjusting the battery level, rotating the screen, and managing
|
|
||||||
virtual calls.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Upload KML and GPX files to play back a set of custom location points.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Dynamically resize the emulator by dragging a corner or zoom into the
|
|
||||||
emulator window.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Install APKs or add media files to the emulator’s internal SD card by
|
|
||||||
dragging and dropping files into the emulator window.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Simulate multi-touch input. While interacting with the emulator screen,
|
|

enter multi-touch mode by holding down the <strong>Ctrl</strong> key on
|
|
||||||
Windown/Linux, or <strong>Command</strong> key on Mac OSX.
