Do emulators or Genymotion support ART, the dalvik replacement?

Question

ART is the next generation of Dalvik.

Is there anyway to emulate it with Android emulators or with Genymotion ?

In the 4.4 emulator I fond the option under the developer options. I do not know if it that what you were looking for – Byandby

Is Android 4.4 already available with Genymotion? – Prophet

@rciovati, not yet, but I hope Daniel Fagues will see this and answer directly and give an ETA. – Tenishatenn

I just tried to switch the Dalvik to ART on the Emulator,but it doesnt enter the system now 2 hours later. Isn't it work on the emulator? – Malynda

It doesn't work on 4.4 emulators up to now. – Tenishatenn

See this other question which has a quite useful answer: #19995775 – Prevent

@Uwe Post, I don't think this can be related to GenyMotion ART support. – Tenishatenn

Answer 1

You can switch between Dalvik and ART, under Settings -> Developer options -> Select Runtime

---- Update

The above doesn't work, the emulator doesn't boot.

-- Update 2

android ticket

-- Update 3

With the latest GenyMotion (4.4.2), switching to ART works !!

The device can't shutdown properly to reboot but, close its window, restart a VM, it will reboot using ART. Thanks Geny Mobile !!

With GenyMotion and emulators ? It looks like it takes several days to boot the emulator that way...if it works – Tenishatenn

only with the android emulator. I agree on the second part – Byandby

Could you make it boot ? – Tenishatenn

I am waiting for it to book – Byandby

The attempt of my friend to boot Android emulator with Art didn't succeed after more than 3 days of boot... Could you make it work @blackbelt ? – Tenishatenn

Let's hope we get a better support (or a newer phone ?). – Tenishatenn
