The main problem with the emulator is that the emulator is very slow. Especially the installation step.
From time to time emulators may get corrupted. However it is easy to delete the AVD and create a new one.
Don't get me wrong, it is completely fine to develop with the emulator.
Yeah I have noticed both problems
I guess for the likes of me who don't
have a day job in the Android ecosystem, emulators
constitute a perfect "middle man" between
spending lots of money on devices and having to
debug by hand
As it happens, I am under the impression that
there are many people who fall in this category:
they want to get their feet wet on Android but
can't invest the thousands of pounds needed to buy
devices of all sorts.
Hence, my request is still about reasonable and the
only question that remains to answer is: is this
pond of Android wannabees big enough to
warrant a wizard of that sort?
This, only you can answer
I don't know, but I suspect it might be the case.
