Getting started. You can download the emulator directly here or from our VisualStudio.com page. Once you’ve installed the emulator, an entry will appear in your start menu for the “Visual Studio Emulator for Android.”. Clicking this will bring up our emulator manager, which allows you to install and start device profiles.
After you've chosen a virtual device from the Debug Target device drop-down menu, select either Debug or Release mode, then select the Play button to run the application: After the emulator starts, Visual Studio deploys the app to the virtual device. An example screenshot of the Android Emulator is displayed below.
