As you can see, GPU emulation must be enabled in order for the emulator to leverage the GPU’s dedicated memory. This test included starting the emulator,running SDK Tester, and accessing the Kindle Fire settings.

These GPU measurements were taken on a Windows desktop,using the Kindle Fire HD 7” emulator. To showcase the effect of GPU emulation property, there are two screenshots below. Image 1:Changing the GPU emulation property Check “Use Host GPU” under the Emulation Optionssection.Add the Kindle Fire details according to our configurationguide.Click “OK” to save your configuration changes.Check “Use Host GPU” under the Emulation Options section.Select the emulator for which to enable GPU emulation.This can be done by running “android avd” or clicking the Android Virtual Device Manager icon in Eclipse. To enable GPU emulation, launch the Android Virtual Device Manager. If you experience issues, you may need to disable this functionality. One thing to be aware of: GPU emulation is currently an experimental feature in the Android tools suite, and may not work on all host hardware configurations or operating systems. This post will cover tips on increasing the performance of the KindleFire emulators, including the newly released KindleFire HD 8.9” emulator, but will also apply to most other Android emulators.įor Ice Cream Sandwich-based Kindle Fire emulators(Android SDK 4.0.3, API level 15) you can enableGPU emulation to significantly improve the performance. Using a Kindle Fire emulator is the recommended way to test and debug your mobile apps if you do not have the device available. One of the things you will spend time on when building a Kindle Fire app is testing and debugging. Derek Gebhard, Solutions Architect for Amazon, is our guest blogger for this post.
