Is there an android emulator for linux...

...that isn't a total PITA to set up?

no

I think Waydroid is a good one

[Herr.Hoefkens]

depending i would suggest:

Genymotion homepage , its free but requires registration

this not only emulates "android" but the entire phone of your choice : (or a custom one if its not int the preconfigured list) 

as a developer for android this is prolly the way to go

just for running apk apps on linux see belop

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anboxwaydroid  seems to be the other end of the spectrum.

but last but not least , you can also just run android on the pc,  (or in a vm fully transparant to the gui if you want) ,

BLISSOS : https://blissos.org/ :Android for x86 on roids

availeble wit google-apps or without , with and witout root: ,

apps run in windows , mouse and keyboard support as wel all much other tweaks to run on any x86 cpu

There is Android-x86 which you should be able to run inside a KVM or VM. if you got a small gpu like a RX cheap cheap card you should be golden
