Typically Android emulator takes a minute or two depending on the development machines configuration and the amount of programs running on the host.
Does it need to stop and start every time after changing java code?
Some developer stop the emulator and restart every time after making change their java code. This is a wrong concept.
There are really no need to restart the emulator. It is able to run all the day or longer.
If you are using eclipse, simply hit run, it will take care of making the apk package, put it in the device and start the activity if any.
If you are using command line, use the folloing command: “adb install -r” without quote. This will do the job (-r replaces the existing package) and restart your application.
