Maximum No Of Android Virtual Devices On A Pc

How many android virtual devices can run simultaneously on a PC. Does it differ with configuration of the pc?

Solution 1:

according to the android emulator doc here

The console port number must be an even integer between 5554 and 5584, inclusive. +1 must also be free and will be reserved for ADB.

also in another doc here

An emulator instance occupies a pair of adjacent ports: a console port and an adb port. The port numbers differ by 1, with the adb port having the higher port number. The console of the first emulator instance running on a given machine uses console port 5554 and adb port 5555. Subsequent instances use port numbers increasing by two — for example, 5556/5557, 5558/5559, and so on. Up to 16 concurrent emulator instances can run a console facility.

so we can say that we can start at most 16 emulator.
