@psukys @Santosh62 haha, that's a nice idea! I'll definitely try making that!

@yatanvesh RAM. I've 4GB of RAM and for Android studio that's the minimum. For the emulator to run smooth, you need at least 6-8 GB. I'd once tried it when my phone's USB port wasn't working properly. It literally froze my PC and took a hell lot of a time just to boot up. They say they've improved the emulator speed but I don't wanna take that risk. It's much easier to just have my mobile close by and debug on it.
Oh and I'm running windows for the time being so... -
@yashovardhan99 what happens if you get a call while you are debugging this application tho?

@agupta628 I need to disconnect it from the laptop which would mean after the call, I'll have to again wait for the gradle to build.

@yashovardhan99 ahh the endless cycle

It all makes sense now...
I'm developing Android apps for my pastime (student on summer break) and will use my phone for running/debugging apps because my shitty laptop can't run the emulator.
If receive a call when I'm using the phone for debugging, I'm not picking it up. Even if it's a friend with whom I've not spoken in weeks. That call has to wait for my gradle to finish building.
Of course, I try to call back as soon as possible but that sometimes means an hour or two when I decide to get up from my laptop.
I'm not sorry
