We can find various Android projects like
Android-x86,
Buildroid for VirtualBox, and other custom build Androids. However, they are still not perfect yet running on computer by consisting bugs, unsupported hardware, etc. Resulting unsuitable to test the Android apk apps. If can't being as good testing Android apps on real Android device, run them on Android Virtual Device (AVD) is the second best alternative. A quick note to mention, "
Buildroid for VirtualBox" is worth trying. Back to the topic, here's how to create AVD:
