Hi Robert,

Running apps in the standard emulator can be very slow, yes. There are other alternatives which Treehouse cover off in some of the courses; e.g. Genymotion.

As for the error, I wouldn't worry about it. The emulator is pretending to be a phone and it produces errors and warnings accordingly. the errors that you are concerned with will be tagged with your app name.

Steve.
