The capability to separate the Android emulator process from the Android Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a feature that allows the emulator to run independently. As an illustration, once initiated from Android Studio, the emulator continues operating even after the IDE is closed. This contrasts with the default behavior where the emulator terminates when Android Studio exits.
This independent operation provides several advantages. Primarily, it significantly reduces development workflow disruptions. Reopening Android Studio no longer necessitates a complete emulator restart, saving considerable time, particularly when dealing with complex emulator configurations or prolonged app testing sessions. Furthermore, the independent emulator promotes resource efficiency, allowing developers to allocate system resources more effectively across different applications.
