Android Emulator first startup time

We have latest android SDK setup with eclipse. We have android 4.x images (with and without google apis). When a new such AVD is created, the first run takes too long and some times it just keeps booting.

Examining logcat there are 3 things that take a lot of time.

  1. DexOpt
  2. resource loading
  3. Collecting certs

I guess 1 and 3 are reasonable additions to startup time as one-time processes.

However, I don't understand why the startup takes arbitrary long time and sometimes just keeps booting.

As far as I know the AVD uses only one core of your computer to simulate "real device" data processing, however you are not bound to use the regular AVD as you can use genymotion emulator - it's faster and also has a plugin for eclipse.

you can also take a look here,here and here for further information
