[Feature Request] Find a more robust Android environment solution

Open dandansamax opened this issue 5 months ago • 0 comments

Required prerequisites

  • [X] I have searched the Issue Tracker that this hasn't already been reported. (+1 or comment there if it has.)

Motivation

Current Andorid environment is base on the Google Android Emluator in Android Studio that uses qemu to transcode ARM to x86. Some problmes exist in this setting:

  • Operations are so laggy that even affect experiment result in low performance hardware
  • The snapshot functionality is nearly unusable
  • The whole Andorid Studio IDE too heavy since we only use its emulator.

Solution

Some possible solution:

  • Find an online cloud phone platform.
    • Pros: Their commercial solutions are stable and reliable
    • Cons: Expensive, not fully contolled by us
  • Use a cloud ARM machine to run the emulator
    • haven't tried if it can help improve the performance, but should be true theoretically
  • Change another light-weight emulator
    • To be discussed

If you have better ideas, welome to comment below.
