In order to find comments for posts without images, you can do:. In some situations, you want to return multiple types of related objects in one query.
You can do this with the include method. You can also do multi level includes using dot notation. You can issue a query with multiple fields included by calling include multiple times.
If you have enabled the local datastore by calling Parse. To do this, call the fromLocalDatastore method on the query. You can query from the local datastore using exactly the same kinds of queries you use over the network. For example, if you call deleteEventually , on an object, it will no longer be returned from these queries. The easiest way to do this is with the local datastore.
When you pin objects, you can attach a label to the pin, which lets you manage a group of objects together. For example, to cache the results of the query above, you can call pinAllInBackground and give it a label. Now when you do any query with fromLocalDatastore , these objects will be included in the results if they still match the query.
ParseQuery lets you choose whether to query the network fromNetwork or the local datastore fromLocalDatastore or fromPin label to query just a subset. It is also possible to chain both requests, or execute them in parallel. For example, to try the network and then fall back to cached data if the network is not available:. You can do the following operations on the cache:.
Note: In the old Parse hosted backend, count queries were rate limited to a maximum of requests per minute. They also returned inaccurate results for classes with more than 1, objects.
But, Parse Server has removed both constraints and can count objects well above 1, If you just need to count how many objects match a query, but you do not need to retrieve all the objects that match, you can use count instead of find. For example, to count how many games have been played by a particular player:. If you want to block the calling thread, you can also use the synchronous query. If you want to find objects that match one of several queries, you can use ParseQuery.
For instance if you want to find players who either have a lot of wins or a few wins, you can do:. Note that we do not, however, support GeoPoint or non-filtering constraints e.
At the core of many apps, there is a notion of user accounts that lets users access their information in a secure manner. We provide a specialized user class called ParseUser that automatically handles much of the functionality required for user account management. ParseUser is a subclass of the ParseObject , and has all the same features, such as flexible schema, automatic persistence, and a key value interface.
All the methods that are on ParseObject also exist in ParseUser. The difference is that ParseUser has some special additions specific to user accounts. ParseUser has several properties that set it apart from ParseObject :. Keep in mind that if you set username and email using the setters, you do not need to set it using the put method.
The first thing your app will do is probably ask the user to sign up. The following code illustrates a typical sign up:. This call will asynchronously create a new user in your Parse App. Before it does this, it checks to make sure that both the username and email are unique.
Also, it securely hashes the password in the cloud using bcrypt. We never store passwords in plaintext, nor will we ever transmit passwords back to the client in plaintext. Subsequent updates to a user can be done by calling save. The signUpInBackground method comes in various flavors, with the ability to pass back errors, and also synchronous versions.
As usual, we highly recommend using the asynchronous versions when possible, so as not to block the UI in your app. You can read more about these specific methods in our API docs. The most likely case is that the username or email has already been taken by another user.
You should clearly communicate this to your users, and ask them try a different username. You are free to use an email address as the username. Simply ask your users to enter their email, but fill it in the username property — ParseUser will work as normal.
Of course, after you allow users to sign up, you need be able to let them log in to their account in the future. To do this, you can use the class method logInInBackground. Email verification adds the emailVerified key to the ParseUser object. Parse then emails the user a link which will set emailVerified to true. There are three emailVerified states to consider:.
It would be bothersome if the user had to log in every time they open your app. You can avoid this by using the cached currentUser object. Whenever you use any signup or login methods, the user is cached on disk. You can treat this cache as a session, and automatically assume the user is logged in:.
Being able to associate data and objects with individual users is highly valuable, but sometimes you want to be able to do this without forcing a user to specify a username and password. An anonymous user is a user that can be created without a username and password but still has all of the same capabilities as any other ParseUser.
After logging out, an anonymous user is abandoned, and its data is no longer accessible. You can create an anonymous user using ParseAnonymousUtils :. You can convert an anonymous user into a regular user by setting the username and password, then calling signUp , or by logging in or linking with a service like Facebook or Twitter.
The converted user will retain all of its data. To determine whether the current user is an anonymous user, you can check ParseAnonymousUtils. Anonymous users can also be automatically created for you without requiring a network request, so that you can begin working with your user immediately when your application starts.
When you enable automatic anonymous user creation at application startup, ParseUser. The user will automatically be created in the cloud the first time the user or any object with a relation to the user is saved.
Enabling automatic user creation makes associating data with your users painless. For example, in your Application. This method will ensure the session token is valid before setting the current user.
The ParseUser class is secured by default. Data stored in a ParseUser can only be modified by that user. By default, the data can still be read by any client.
Thus, some ParseUser objects are authenticated and can be modified, whereas others are read-only. Specifically, you are not able to invoke any of the save or delete type methods unless the ParseUser was obtained using an authenticated method, like logIn or signUp. This ensures that only the user can alter their own data. The ParseUser obtained from getCurrentUser will always be authenticated. If you need to check if a ParseUser is authenticated, you can invoke the isAuthenticated method.
You do not need to check isAuthenticated with ParseUser objects that are obtained via an authenticated method. The same security model that applies to the ParseUser can be applied to other objects. For any object, you can specify which users are allowed to read the object, and which users are allowed to modify an object. To support this type of security, each object has an access control list , implemented by the ParseACL class. The simplest way to use a ParseACL is to specify that an object may only be read or written by a single user.
To create such an object, there must first be a logged in ParseUser. Thus, to create a private note that can only be accessed by the current user:. This note will then only be accessible to the current user, although it will be accessible to any device where that user is signed in. This functionality is useful for applications where you want to enable access to user data across multiple devices, like a personal todo list.
Permissions can also be granted on a per-user basis. This allows patterns like posting comments on a message board. For example, to create a post that can only be edited by its author, but can be read by anyone:. In the code above, the second parameter to setDefaultACL tells Parse to ensure that the default ACL assigned at the time of object creation allows read and write access to the current user at that time.
Without this setting, you would need to reset the defaultACL every time a user logs in or out so that the current user would be granted access appropriately. With this setting, you can ignore changes to the current user until you explicitly need to grant different kinds of access. Default ACLs make it easy to create apps that follow common access patterns. An application like Twitter, for example, where user content is generally visible to the world, might set a default ACL such as:.
Operations that are forbidden, such as deleting an object that you do not have write access to, result in a ParseException. For security purposes, this prevents clients from distinguishing which object ids exist but are secured, versus which object ids do not exist at all.
In such cases, our library provides a way to let them securely reset their password. By doing this, you can opt to have users use their email as their username, or you can collect it separately and store it in the email field. Note that the messaging in this flow will reference your app by the name that you specified when you created this app on Parse. In addition, you can use get to get a ParseUser by id. Associations involving a ParseUser work right of the box. To store a new post for a user and retrieve all their posts:.
Parse provides an easy way to integrate Facebook with your application. Using our Facebook integration, you can associate an authenticated Facebook user with a ParseUser. These instructions are for Facebook SDK 4. This allows users of apps that support Facebook login to sign in directly through the Facebook app, using credentials that are already on the device. If the Facebook app is not installed, the default dialog-based authentication will be used. If your Activity is already using onActivityResult , you can avoid requestCode collisions by specifying your own request code offset when initializing ParseFacebookUtils.
Otherwise, a sensible default activityCode will be used. There are two main ways to use Facebook with your Parse users: 1 logging in as a Facebook user and creating a ParseUser , or 2 linking Facebook to an existing ParseUser. In order to display the Facebook login dialogs and activities, the current Activity must be provided often, the current activity is this when calling logInWithReadPermissionsInBackground from within the Activity as we have done above.
When logging in, you can only use read permissions. See our documentation below about requesting additional permissions read or publish. If you want to associate an existing ParseUser to a Facebook account, you can link it like so:. The steps that happen when linking are very similar to log in. The difference is that on successful login, the existing ParseUser is updated with the Facebook information. Future logins via Facebook will now log the user into their existing account.
As of v3. To request additional permissions, you may call ParseFacebookUtils. After successfully retrieving new permissions, please call ParseFacebookUtilities. Generally, you will use the GraphRequest class to interact with Facebook on behalf of your logged-in user.
You can read more about the Facebook SDK here. As with Facebook, Parse also provides an easy way to integrate Twitter authentication into your application.
If you encounter any issues that are Twitter-related, a good resource is the official Twitter documentation. There are two main ways to use Twitter with your Parse users: 1 logging in as a Twitter user and creating a ParseUser , or 2 linking Twitter to an existing ParseUser. This is accomplished using the logIn method:. In order to display the Twitter login dialogs and activities, the current Context must be provided often, the current context is this when calling logIn from within the Activity as we have done above.
If you want to associate an existing ParseUser with a Twitter account, you can link it like so:. The difference is that on successful login, the existing ParseUser is updated with the Twitter information.
Future logins via Twitter will now log the user into their existing account. Sessions represent an instance of a user logged into a device. Sessions are automatically created when users log in or sign up. They are automatically deleted when users log out. We provide a set of APIs to manage Session objects in your app. Session is a subclass of a Parse Object , so you can query, update, and delete sessions in the same way that you manipulate normal objects on Parse.
Arduino or Embedded C. Unlike other Parse objects, the Session class does not have Cloud Code triggers. So you cannot register a beforeSave or afterSave handler for the Session class. The Session object has these special fields:. With revocable sessions, your current session token could become invalid if its corresponding Session object is deleted from your Parse Server.
Sessions could also be deleted due to automatic expiration if configured in app settings. To handle this error, we recommend writing a global utility function that is called by all of your Parse request error callbacks. You should prompt the user to login again so that they can obtain a new session token.
This code could look like this:. Session objects can only be accessed by the user specified in the user field. All Session objects have an ACL that is read and write by that user only. You cannot change this ACL. This means querying for sessions will only return objects that match the current logged-in user.
When you log in a user via a User login method, Parse will automatically create a new unrestricted Session object in your Parse Server. We recommend that you disable all CLPs not needed by your app.
Here are some common use cases for Session CLPs:. As your app grows in scope and user-base, you may find yourself needing more coarse-grained control over access to pieces of your data than user-linked ACLs can provide. To address this requirement, Parse supports a form of Role-based Access Control. Roles provide a logical way of grouping users with common access privileges to your Parse data. Roles are named objects that contain users and other roles. Any permission granted to a role is implicitly granted to its users as well as to the users of any roles that it contains.
By adding users to these roles, you can ensure that new users can be made moderators or administrators, without having to manually grant permission to every resource for each user.
We provide a specialized class called ParseRole that represents these role objects in your client code. ParseRole is a subclass of ParseObject , and has all of the same features, such as a flexible schema, automatic persistence, and a key value interface.
All the methods that are on ParseObject also exist on ParseRole. The difference is that ParseRole has some additions specific to management of roles.
ParseRole has several properties that set it apart from ParseObject :. Generally, only users with greatly elevated privileges e. Remember, if you give write-access to a ParseRole to a user, that user can add other users to the role, or even delete the role altogether. To create a new ParseRole , you would write:. Take great care when assigning ACLs to your roles so that they can only be modified by those who should have permissions to modify them.
Now that you have created a set of roles for use in your application, you can use them with ACLs to define the privileges that their users will receive. Each ParseObject can specify a ParseACL , which provides an access control list that indicates which users and roles should be granted read or write access to the object.
Giving a role read or write permission to an object is straightforward. You can either use the ParseRole :. For example, a moderated forum application might specify a default ACL like this:. As described above, one role can contain another, establishing a parent-child relationship between the two roles.
The consequence of this relationship is that any permission granted to the parent role is implicitly granted to all of its child roles. These types of relationships are commonly found in applications with user-managed content, such as forums. Any user with Administrator privileges should also be granted the permissions of any Moderator. ParseFile lets you store application files in the cloud that would otherwise be too large or cumbersome to fit into a regular ParseObject.
The most common use case is storing images but you can also use it for documents, videos, music, and any other binary data. Getting started with ParseFile is easy. Notice in this example that we give the file a name of resume. As with ParseObject , there are many variants of the save method you can use depending on what sort of callback and error handling suits you. Finally, after the save completes, you can associate a ParseFile onto a ParseObject just like any other piece of data:.
Retrieving it back involves calling one of the getData variants on the ParseObject. Here we retrieve the resume file off another JobApplication object:.
Just like on ParseObject , you will most likely want to use the background version of getData. For example:. You will need to provide the master key in order to be allowed to delete a file. Keep in mind that doing so may break functionality which depended on accessing unreferenced files through their URL property.
Files that are currently associated with an object will not be affected. This means you can retain a ParseFile during configuration changes, or pass it to other components of the app through Bundles. For instance, in an Activity,. If you try to do so, an exception will be thrown.
If you are not sure if your file has been saved, please check for! Parse allows you to associate real-world latitude and longitude coordinates with an object. Adding a ParseGeoPoint to a ParseObject allows queries to take into account the proximity of an object to a reference point.
This allows you to easily do things like find out what user is closest to another user or which places are closest to a user. To associate a point with an object you first need to create a ParseGeoPoint. For example, to create a point with latitude of To retrieve a ParseGeoPoint from an object. Parse allows you to associate polygon coordinates with an object.
To retrieve a ParsePolygon from an object. Now that you have a bunch of objects with spatial coordinates, it would be nice to find out which objects are closest to a point.
This can be done by adding another restriction to ParseQuery using whereNear. Getting a list of ten places that are closest to a user may look something like:. At this point nearPlaces will be an array of objects ordered by distance nearest to farthest from userLocation.
To find the objects in a rectangular bounding box, add the whereWithinGeoBox restriction to your ParseQuery. You can query for whether an object lies within or on a polygon of Parse. You can also query for whether an object Parse. Polygon contains a Parse. This means you can retain a ParseGeoPoint and ParsePolygon during configuration changes, or pass it to other components of the app through Bundles.
The Parse Android SDK provides a local datastore which can be used to store and retrieve ParseObject s, even when the network is unavailable. To enable this functionality, simply call Parse. If you use a Parse. Builder , enable it there instead:. There are a couple of side effects of enabling the local datastore that you should be aware of. When enabled, there will only be one instance of any given ParseObject. The result will be the same instance of the object you already have in memory.
Another side effect is that the current user and current installation will be stored in the local datastore, so you can persist unsaved changes to these objects between runs of your app using the methods below.
Calling the saveEventually method on a ParseObject will cause the object to be pinned in the local datastore until the save completes. So now, if you change the current ParseUser and call ParseUser. You can store a ParseObject in the local datastore by pinning it. Pinning a ParseObject is recursive, just like saving, so any objects that are pointed to by the one you are pinning will also be pinned.
When an object is pinned, every time you update it by fetching or saving new data, the copy in the local datastore will be updated automatically. If you have multiple objects, you can pin them all at once with the pinAllInBackground convenience method. To retrieve an object from the local datastore, call the fromLocalDatastore method to tell the ParseQuery where to look for its results.
Note that after calling this, you cannot subsequently use the same query to load from the network. To do that, you can use a ParseQuery. Any ParseQuery can be used with the local datastore just as with the network.
The results will include any object you have pinned that matches the query. Any unsaved changes you have made to the object will be considered when evaluating the query. So you can find a local object that matches, even if it was never returned from the server for this particular query. When you are done with an object and no longer need it to be in the local datastore, you can simply unpin it.
This will free up disk space on the device and keep your queries on the local datastore running quickly. Manually pinning and unpinning each object individual is a bit like using malloc and free. It is a very powerful tool, but it can be difficult to manage what objects get stored in complex scenarios. To make these scenarios easier, you can also pin with a label.
Labels indicate a group of objects that should be stored together. To unpin all of the objects with the same label at the same time, you can pass a label to the unpin methods. This saves you from having to manually track which objects are in each group you care about.
Any object will stay in the datastore as long as it is pinned with any label. In other words, if you pin an object with two different labels, and then unpin it with one label, the object will stay in the datastore until you also unpin it with the other label.
Pinning with labels makes it easy to cache the results of queries. You can use one label to pin the results of each different query. To get new results from the network, just do a query and update the pinned objects.
When you want to get the cached results for the query, you can then run the same query against the local datastore. The easiest way to do this is with saveEventually. When you call saveEventually on a ParseObject , it will be pinned until it can be saved. The SDK will make sure to save the object the next time the network is available.
To manage the set of objects that need to be saved, you can again use a label. The fromPin method on ParseQuery makes it easy to fetch just the objects you care about. Push notifications are a great way to keep your users engaged and informed about your app.
You can reach your entire user base quickly and effectively. This guide will help you through the setup process and the general usage of Parse to send push notifications. If you want to start using push, start by completing the Android Push Notifications QuickStart Guide to learn how to configure your app and send your first push notification.
Come back to this guide afterwards to learn more about the push features offered by Parse. Learn more about Google Play Services here. Every Parse application installed on a device registered for push notifications has an associated Installation object. The Installation object is where you store all the data needed to target push notifications. For example, in a baseball app, you could store the teams a user is interested in to send updates about their performance.
Saving the Installation object is also required for tracking push-related app open events. It uses the same API for storing and retrieving data. To access the current Installation object from your Android app, use the ParseInstallation.
The first time you save a ParseInstallation , Parse will add it to your Installation class and it will be available for targeting push notifications. While it is possible to modify a ParseInstallation just like you would a ParseObject , there are several special fields that help manage and target devices. There are two ways to send push notifications using Parse: channels and advanced targeting. Channels offer a simple and easy to use model for sending pushes, while advanced targeting offers a more powerful and flexible model.
Both are fully compatible with each other and will be covered in this section. However, push notifications can also be triggered by the existing client SDKs.
However, be sure you understand that enabling Client Push can lead to a security vulnerability in your app. We recommend that you enable Client Push for testing purposes only, and move your push notification logic into Cloud Code when your app is ready to go into production.
You can view your past push notifications on the Parse Dashboard push console for up to 30 days after creating your push. For pushes scheduled in the future, you can delete the push on the push console as long as no sends have happened yet. After you send the push, the push console shows push analytics graphs. The simplest way to start sending notifications is using channels. This allows you to use a publisher-subscriber model for sending pushes. Devices start by subscribing to one or more channels, and notifications can later be sent to these subscribers.
The channels subscribed to by a given Installation are stored in the channels field of the Installation object. A channel is identified by a string that starts with a letter and consists of alphanumeric characters, underscores, and dashes. Subscribing to a channel can be done using a single method call. For example, in a baseball score app, we could do:. Neither the subscribe method nor the unsubscribe method blocks the thread it is called from.
This will display a notification center alert to iOS users and a system tray notification to Android users. If you want to target multiple channels with a single push notification, you can use a LinkedList of channels. While channels are great for many applications, sometimes you need more precision when targeting the recipients of your pushes. Parse allows you to write a query for any subset of your Installation objects using the querying API and to send them a push.
Since ParseInstallation is a subclass of ParseObject , you can save any data you want and even create relationships between Installation objects and your other objects. This allows you to send pushes to a very customized and dynamic segment of your user base. Storing data on a ParseInstallation object is just as easy as storing any other data on Parse. In our Baseball app, we could allow users to get pushes about game results, scores and injury reports. You can even create relationships between your Installation objects and other classes saved on Parse.
To associate a ParseInstallation with a particular user, for example, you can simply store the current user on the ParseInstallation. Once you have your data stored on your ParseInstallation objects, you can use a ParseQuery to target a subset of these devices.
ParseInstallation queries work just like any other Parse query , but we use the special static method ParseInstallation. We set this query on our ParsePush object, before sending the notification. We can even use channels with our query.
If we store relationships to other objects in our ParseInstallation class, we can also use those in our query. For example, we could send a push notification to all users near a given location like this. Push notifications can do more than just send a message. In Android, pushes can also include custom data you wish to send. You have complete control of how you handle the data included in your push notification as we will see in the Receiving Notifications section.
An expiration date can also be set for the notification in case it is time sensitive. If you want to send more than just a message, you will need to use a JSONObject to package all of the data.
There are some reserved fields that have a special meaning in Android. For example, to send a notification that would increases the badge number by 1 and plays a custom sound, you can do the following. Note that you can set these properties from your Android client, but they would only take effect in the iOS version of your app. The badge and sound fields would have no effects for Android recipients. It is also possible to specify your own data in this dictionary.
If you have a time sensitive notification that is not worth delivering late, you can set an expiration date. This avoids needlessly alerting users of information that may no longer be relevant. There are two methods provided by the ParsePush class to allow setting an expiration date for your notification.
The first is setExpirationTime which simply takes an time in UNIX epoch time specifying when Parse should stop trying to send the notification. There is however a caveat with this method. Since device clocks are not guaranteed to be accurate, you may end up with inaccurate results. For this reason, the ParsePush class also provides the setExpirationTimeInterval method which accepts a timeInterval in seconds.
The notification will expire after the specified interval has elapsed. If you build a cross platform app, it is possible you may only want to target devices of a particular operating system. Advanced Targeting allow you to filter which of these devices are targeted. You can schedule a push in advance by specifying a push time with ParsePush. For example, if a user schedules a game reminder for a game tomorrow at noon UTC, you can schedule the push notification by sending:.
If you also specify an expiration interval, it will be calculated from the scheduled push time, not from the time the push is submitted. This means a push scheduled to be sent in a week with an expiration interval of a day will expire 8 days after the request is sent. If you choose to subclass com. Now that your app is all set up to receive push notifications, you can start customizing the display of these notifications.
The Android style guide recommends apps use a push icon that is monochromatic and flat. If your push has a unique context associated with an image, such as the avatar of the user who sent a message, you can use a large push icon to call attention to the notification. See the Android UI documentation for examples. To customize this behavior, you can override getActivity in your ParsePushBroadcastReceiver subclass.
If there are multiple apps capable of opening the URI, a dialog will displayed for the user. The ParsePushBroadcastReceiver will manage your back stack and ensure that clicking back from the Activity handling URI will navigate the user back to the activity returned by getActivity.
All of the above methods may be subclassed to customize the way your application handles push notifications. When subclassing the methods onPushReceive , onPushOpen , onPushDismiss , or getNotification , consider delegating to super where appropriate.
This provides the most benefit from Parse Push and makes your code forward-compatible. The default implementation of onPushOpen will automatically track user engagement from pushes. If you choose not to use the ParsePushBroadcastReceiver or override the onPushOpen implementation, you may need to track your app open event manually. Click Select a file from your device.

As astonishing as it may sound, but it is a feature not available on many Android emulators out there. Apart from that, the emulator comes with the ability to run multiple instances of apps and Android versions at once.
Furthermore, the software is based on Android Nougat 7. It also allows you to have three different windows for all three Android versions. What more can you ask for? It is based on Android Lollipop 5. But one factor where Nox Player truly scores over BlueStacks is the ability to get root access.
But on Nox Player, you simply have to enable a toggle in the settings, and poof! Nox has asked users to reinstall the software to avoid the attack. However, I would advise you to wait for some time and then try your hands on Nox Player, but only if you find the application trustworthy. Basically, if you are into Android gaming then this virtual device of sorts is a much better option than installing an emulator, as it will run directly on the hardware without the need for binary translation.
You can consider PrimeOS as an alternative to the Android x86 project. The best part is that you can also dual-boot PrimeOS with Windows 10 with minimal effort. If you are an Android developer and looking for a way to virtually test out Android apps in a Windows environment then Genymotion is one that you should pick. It is a popular Android virtual device, especially for developers. Genymotion runs offline through a Windows app and on the cloud through a web browser so you have great flexibility.
In addition, you have a lot of options as you can choose your Android platform from Android 4. On top of that, you can also install the Google Play Store by selecting your choice of GApps package. Apart from that, the best part about Genymotion is that you can integrate it with Android Studio on your Windows computer.
You can develop your app smoothly on your choice of device and platform. So to conclude, if you want to test apps on multiple Android versions in a Windows environment then go with Genymotion. Instead of being an app that runs on your system, ARChon is basically a Chrome app.
That means, this is an Android emulator that runs in Chrome, like a Chrome app or an extension of sorts. For gamers, Bliss OS comes with support for keymapping, gamepads, and profiles. So you can easily play your favourite Android games on your PC, complete with keyboard and mouse support.
Right now, the stable version of Bliss OS is built on top on Android 9. Android Emulators or emulation, in general, is not something new.
On top of that, emulators feature all sorts of Android SDKs and dependencies so that it runs on any architecture without any issue. Installing an Android emulator is quite easy on a PC. Emulators offer you an EXE file that can be downloaded from the link mentioned below under every emulator.
After downloading the setup file EXE , double-click on it and it will start the installation wizard. Some emulators like Nox and MEmu also download additional libraries during installation. Once the installation is done, simply open it and sign in with your Google account.
You can now go ahead and install games from the Play Store or any other source. This way, the emulator will take advantage of the virtualization technology. Apart from that, if you primarily use Android Emulators for gaming then go ahead and remap the keyboard and mouse settings according to your preference.
Next, uninstall the bloatware that comes preinstalled with the emulator. It will make the performance much better. Lastly, and something very important, if possible use a secondary account to log in on the emulator.
Emulators are generally outdated and use older OS versions for better compatibility. However, that can lead to serious security issues as well. Not to mention, there have been many instances of emulators mining bitcoin in the background case in point, Andy emulator so stay away from those programs.
First, most of the emulators on this list should work on Windows 11, so you can try using Bluestacks, LDPlay, etc on Windows Moreover, you can now install and run Android apps on Windows 11 so you might not even need an Android emulator for your Windows 11 PC. Apart from that, LDPlayer is also pretty lightweight and fast. Despite top-notch compatibility, I have not mentioned BlueStacks because it has gotten bloated with too many features.
Which One is the Best Android Emulator? Sure, it considerably slows down your PC but in terms of feature set, nothing beats BlueStacks. Apart from that, if gaming is what you are looking for then you are better off with Gameloop. Is BlueStacks or Nox Better? It depends on your PC configuration. Other than that, Nox is quite good too, but recently it was criticized for its move to automatically install bloatware. I would not really recommend Nox over BlueStacks.
Is Nox a Virus? There have been reports of Nox installing bloatware like McAfee and Chromium automatically without user consent. It also installed Segurazo, an anti-malware service that was detected as a virus. Why is MEmu so Laggy? As I pointed above, MEmu comes with three different flavors of Android which is bound to be heavy on resources. It can run fairly well even on decent machines.
Higher RAM ensures that the emulator does not freeze due to some background Windows activities. Does Emulator Slow Down Computer? Yes, especially when the emulator is running in the background.
I would recommend you to manually close the emulator after you are done using it. You can quit the program under the System Tray.
