So, I have installed Visual Studio 2015 along with the Xamarin and Android SDK, etc. After being disappointed with the default slowness of AVD (Android Virtual Device), I took some tips to get the Xamarin Android Player.
I went through the installation process and I can start the instance of the virtual device by itself, but I can’t get it to open from Visual Studio so that when compiling the Android application code, it appears in Xamarin Android Player instead of slow AVD opening.
