    Parallels Desktop virtualizes PC hardware. Android does not use PC hardware. Android devices usually use ARM-based chips.

    There are a few projects that are a port of Android to x86 but I don't know if any of them work with Parallels Desktop.

    You download an .iso, create a new VM, skip detection, set the os type to something appropriate like Linux or Other, and set the CD to the .iso and startup from that.
