Note that you can keep your emulator running for most tests. The main
time you really need to stop and restart the emulator is if you are
testing things that happen at boot time.

You can experiment with the android-x86.org project and use it on a
spare PC or a VirtualBox image. This allows you to avoid the ARM->x86
opcode conversion. On the other hand, it limits you to Android 1.6 at
present.

You are welcome to package Android-independent code into its own project
for testing, perhaps generating a JAR that your Android project then uses.
