I want to start write apps for android with Visual Studio. I used default emulator (Cordova),but it is too slow. So I find Genymotion, which is faster than Codova. However I can't connect Genymotion to Visual Studio, because Visual Studio use Cordova and I can't choose genymotion device in device list. So anyone know how to fix it.
PS Really sorry to my terrible english language.

First Start the Genymotion emulator which you already downloaded an image and installed. Simply select the device on VScode or Android Studio and hit the run. Save this answer.
It creates virtual devices (android phones). In short, VirtualBox takes some of your computer's memory and allocates that memory to a virtual device. It's all about the concept of virtualization. Without VirtualBox, you can't run Genymotion On macOS, windows, or Linux.
Genymotion free is for personal use only. You must not share your account with other students, or use Genymotion on a public device such as a school computer.
The Genymotion plugin for Android Studio allows you to test your application developed with the Android Studio IDE. It uses ADB to connect to any active virtual device and push your application. This section explains how to install, use the plugin and run Android applications.
I have the same setup, and my Visual Studio deployments were failing with no error, just failing to deploy to my GenyMotion Android.
So I discovered that there is a setting in GenyMotion (Settings -> ADB -> Use custom Android SDK) which MUST be the same as the SDK you are using in Visual Studio (Tools -> Options -> Xamarin Settings -> Android Settings -> Android SDK Location).
Once I changed this, it all "just worked"! And deployed super quick!!!
