Flutter/android studio emulator/visualization

Hi,

  1. I am trying to make a virtual image of my app in andoid studio, I get following error. Can you pleae help me in this regard:

Your CPU does not support required features (VT-x or SVM). Unfortunately, your computer does not support hardware accelerated virtualization. Here are some of your options: 1) Use a physical device for testing 2) Develop on a Windows/OSX computer with an Intel processor that supports VT-x and NX 3) Develop on a Linux computer that supports VT-x or SVM 4) Use an Android Virtual Device based on an ARM system image (This is 10x slower than hardware accelerated virtualization)

  1. Can I use some other software and link it with android studio for app visualization?

it’s a common hurdle when working with Android Studio especially if your machine does not support hardware virtualization like VT-x (Intel) or SVM (AMD).

Solution:

  • Use a Physical Device: connect your Android phone via USB & enable “Developer Options” ==> “USB Debugging.” this way you can test your app directly on your device without worrying about emulators.

  • Use Genymotion: It is a third-party Android emulator, you can even run in the cloud or on VirtualBox without needing VT-x.

  • ARM-based System Images: It is fine for basic UI testing but not ideal for full app performance testing because android Studio does allow you to create ARM-based AVDs but fair warning, they can be very slow because there’s no hardware acceleration.

Good Luck…

Your CPU lacks virtualization (VT-x/SVM, E-ZPass Pennsylvania) for fast Android Emulator performance in Android Studio. You can’t directly link other software as a replacement emulator. Your best options are: using a physical Android device, developing on a compatible computer, or using a very slow ARM-based AVD within Android Studio.
