What Is Emulator and How Can We Create Emulator

The Emulator is the place where we can run our all apps.

Emulators are programs that basically mimic or act like the hardware and operating system of other machines. When you install an emulator, you get a virtual console in which you can install other apps and play around with the system. Whether you want to check out Android before you buy a device, develop and test your own Android apps, expand Windows’ paltry app selection, or sync apps between your Android phone or tablet and your PC, you have a number of utilities to choose from.
