使用 Hyper-V 进行 Android 开发

Question

So I see some issues on Stack Overflow, saying that I need to turn off Hyper-V to get the Android emulator to run. However, I also have Docker for Windows installed, which requires Hyper-V to function. What is the best way to resolve this?

Is it possible to get the Android emulator to work on Intel HAXM while leaving Hyper-V alone for Docker?

Answer 1

I don't know about the Android emulator part of this question, but in case this is not solvable you could instead use Docker Toolbox which runs without Hyper-V (but Virtualbox instead).

This is a legacy solution, but actually recommended by Docker documentation in case your system does not fulfill the requirements, eg for Windows 10 Home users ( Quote : "Note: If your system does not meet the requirements to run Docker for Windows, you can install Docker Toolbox, which uses Oracle Virtual Box instead of Hyper-V.").

Answer 2

You can use Hyper-V for accelerating the Android emulator instead of HAXM. That way you can use docker as well. I do the same. Probably you are just missing "Windows Hypervisor Platform" from the Windows Features. Make sure it is enabled too.

For further information see: Hardware acceleration for emulator performance (Hyper-V & HAXM)

Answer 3

There's been some changes to Hyper-V in Windows that allows Android emulation to work with Hyper-V, as mentioned here:
