Preface

The first time I came across the word Emulator was back in 2013-14 (Wow, it’s more than a decade already!) when I was in my undergrad, and Android development was the next upcoming career trend in the region.

The infamously slow Android Studio provided the feature called Emulator, where there were all these imitated Android devices with their respective Android versions ranging from Cupcake to Lollipop. I was fascinated by the idea that you don't need the physical Android device . But as life happens, it got sidetracked till now. This is my study guide, and I’ll try my best to Keep it simple and sorted. Before we dive in, let’s get that foundation ready.
