I can't run my app on standard Nexus 5 emulator. It seems it requires Intel HAXM but i have an AMD processor. So how can i use the emulator without buying an Intel processor (or installing Linux)?

If you have an AMD processor, you can download an ARM image, but it is super slow on x86 platforms.

The x86 image does not work with AMD CPUs, because the x86 image needs HAXM installed which needs VT-X support, and only Intel CPUs support it.

So you can download the Genymotion emulator, which supports both VT-X & AMD-V technology.
