I am almost done with my app..when i run it on the emulator ,at certain points,
it is very slow and what i see is undesirable..when I run the same on my phone (xperia X8)
it works fine.
I really tried understanding why this is happening but of no avail!
What should I do now? run some more tests and try optimizing or just
release it in the market?
Is what I am seeing expected? Any info will be appreciated
The emulator will always be slower than a real device (most likely, slower than any real device), so don’t worry too much about it.
However, due to it’s slowness, it can highlight areas where you may want to spend some time optimising your code that you may not necessarily find on your hardware. This is especially true on portable devices with limited CPU power, resources, and electrical power available.
It may be worth trying to find out what is causing the slowdowns in the emulator – if it’s regular enough and accompanied by (for example) high CPU usage, then while a physical device may handle it better, you may find that you are unnecessarily consuming battery power and your users may not thank you for that.
