1. Create an Android Virtual Device
Each instance of the Android Emulator uses an Android virtual device (AVD) to specify Android version and hardware characteristics.
Each AVD functions as an independent device with its own private storage for user data, SD card and so on. By default, the emulator stores the user data, SD card data, and cache in a directory specific to that AVD. When you launch the emulator, it loads the user data and SD card data from the AVD directory. 1
