HAXM AMD? (Android studio)

[Guest]

I have an AMD Ryzen CPU Windows 10 64 bit & my current class is using android studio. 

 

Is there an official alternative? Can HAXM run on AMD? 

 

I know HAXM was made by intel & it has failed 2~3 attempted installations & google says I’m screwed unless I buy intel. 

 

Spoiler

My school isn’t of any help. How many PHDs does it take to make a course without problems?

Uhm... you can emulate an android phone without HAXM just fine. It may or may not be a bit slower but for a university course that shouldn't be a problem.

-edit-

also if you plan on developing for android beyond this I strongly recommend using a real phone. If you don't have an android phone you can find a decent cheap one for $100 or less.

How would I do that?
I pressed run drop down & run to run the program. It says "Install HAXM for better performance" then attempts to install HAXM & fails.

"for better performance", not "to be able to run the emulator". A quick search yielded this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31366453/run-android-studio-emulator-on-amd-processor#31366757

I've followed a few of these steps but every time I try to run it tells me I need to install HAXM.

Do you know where I can disable that prompt? I googled around & couldn't find anything.

Try following all the steps. If you need more specific step by stop information you can read the official documentation https://androidstudio.googleblog.com/2019/12/emulator-29211-and-amd-hypervisor-12-to.html

 

Also make sure you selected the new emulator you created and not the default one.

HAXM is made by Intel for Intel CPUs, meaning it won't work for AMD. As @Sauron pointed out there's a different tool for AMD. Here are the latest instructions from the Android developer site:

You can run Android Emulator in AMD Processor. You have to turn on some features

Try this,

Go to Control panel > Programs and features > Turn Windows Features on or off >

Mark Hyper V and Windows Hypervisor Platform

 

Click OK
