Can I run Android Studio (Android SDK emulator) in a Microsoft hyper-v virtual machine?

Question

Can I run Android Studio and Android SDK emulator in a Microsoft hyper-v virtual machine? Please read carefully.

I already use Hyper-V a lot for other purposes. Now I need to develop a app for Android.

I've installed a new virtual machine (windows 10) and installed Android Studio. I cannot run the android emulator because it's lacking the 'intel HAXM software'.

I read a lot about that it's not possible to install Hyper-V NEXT to Android Studio, but non of the post actually say anything about installing in a Hyper-V machine.

Refer to this link: How to run Android Studio on Windows without disabling Hyper-V

The solution (if you do not want to disable Hyper-V) is to use Microsoft’s Android emulator, which is a free download here.

In order to use this with Android Studio, you need to run the emulator first. Then, in Android Studio, go to Run > Edit Configurations... and select Show Device Chooser Dialog under Deployment Target Options.

Run your project, and select the VS Emulator, ignoring the invitation to “Turn off Hyper-V”.
