      <strong>Android Emulator 2.0</strong>:

    </p>

      <ul>

        <li>Performance improvements:

        </li>

          <ul>

            <li>Emulator now uses CPU acceleration on x86 emulator system images by

            default.

            </li>



            <li>Added <a href="{@docRoot}training/articles/smp.html">SMP</a> support

            to take advantage of host multi-core architecture when emulating Android

            6.0 (API level 23) or higher, resulting in much better performance and

            speed than the physical counterpart. Also with SMP support, you can test

            apps that specifically target multi-core Android devices.

            </li>



            <li>Improved data and APK push-pull protocol between the the <a href=

            "{@docRoot}tools/help/adb.html">Android Debug Bridge</a> and devices

            running Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher. See speed improvements up

            to five times faster than using a physical device.

            </li>

          </ul>



        <li>Extended UI controls and a floating toolbar provide easy access to features

        previously available only through the command line, such as taking screen

        captures, adjusting the battery level, rotating the screen, and managing

        virtual calls.

        </li>



        <li>Upload KML and GPX files to play back a set of custom location points.

        </li>



        <li>Dynamically resize the emulator by dragging a corner or zoom into the

        emulator window.

        </li>



        <li>Install APKs or add media files to the emulator’s internal SD card by

        dragging and dropping files into the emulator window.

        </li>



        <li>Simulate multi-touch input. While interacting with the emulator screen,

        enter multi-touch mode by holding down the <strong>Ctrl</strong> key on

        Windown/Linux, or <strong>Command</strong> key on Mac OSX.

        </li>

            specify the number of cores the emulator can use.

            <li>Under advanced settings, you can determine how graphics are rendered
