I have read that I can test android application on a emulator, but I could use also Virtualbox so the apps will be faster.
Online there are many tutorials on Virtualbox, but it’s indicated that I must select Linux on VirtualBox.
I Know that Android’s kernel is a Linux Kernel 2.6, but the question is : Can I select also Windows? With Linux will be faster? It’s a simple curiosity. x86 is the architecture and I think that I can use Linux, Windows or Mac OS X on Virtualbox.
Thank you a lot in advance

    for Android you need to select Linux, because underneath Android is Linux, it’s not a matter of speed, it’s a matter of how it was built.

    remember that after you start the virtual machine you need to set the adb port in order to connect from your host OS:

     setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
 stop adbd
 start adbd

    and then from your host OS:

      adb connect <IP_VIRTUALBOX_ANDROID>:5555
