Amazon Kindle Fire AVD

Question

please, how to get Amazon Kindle Fire Emulator, Device definitions, and all necessary packages, etc, to emulate amazon device. Because I have tried to get it using Android SDK Manager - links were added, but in Extras I see only Amazon Fire Phone Build Tools, Kindle Fire USB Driver, Amazon Maps API v2, but no Amazon AVD Launcher, and nothing like this: (Picture) https://www.dropbox.com/s/6f2pxlc541e9u4k/sdkMgrInstallWindow1.png?dl=0

All suggestions are highly appreciated! Thanks a lot

Answer 1

Kindle Fire emulators have been discontinued and no longer available to download.

Instead, you can create a virtual device with the same specifications as a Fire tablet or phone. See their official guide on Testing without an Amazon Device.

Answer 2

You could try creating a android virtual machine that has the same specs as the Kindle Fire(Just look up the specs) to get a feel for how your app might perform on one. I think that's about all you can do, since Amazon ended its support for the Kindle emulator.

In the SDK Manager go to Tools->Manage Add-on Sites->User Defined Sites Then, add the Amazon sites: https://s3.amazonaws.com/android-sdk-manager/redist/addon.xml

Was that what you meant by 'links were added'?

See here for more info and links to download the SDK contents directly without using the SDK manager: https://developer.amazon.com/appsandservices/resources/development-tools/ide-tools/tech-docs/01-setting-up-your-development-environment
