I am trying to create an emulator for Oreo (Android 8) that runs ARM AEBI V7. The reason I need this architecture is that I include a component that has a native library, but compiled only for armaebi-v7. I do not have access to the source code for the component so I can't recompile the native code.
In Android Studio, when I open the SDK Manager and expand the options for Oreo, I see an emulator image for X86 only. For earlier versions of Android I can see ARM emulator images.
Should I see ARM images for Oreo as well? Or perhaps these have not been released yet?
Popular and efficient, BlueStacks benefits from a new version largely rewritten and capable of emulating Android on ARM devices… while consuming 40% less RAM. The latest version of Bluestacks emulator will appeal to users of ARM devices. Here the Apple MacBook Pro M1, for illustration // Source: Arnaud Gelineau for Frandroid
Just download a device system image, install your current app, and test in areas where behavior changes may affect the app. Update your code and publish, using the app's current platform targeting. Run Android Oreo on your test device. Easy steps to reach compatibility. System changes that may affect your app on Android Oreo.
For Android 8, I used ARM_Translation_Oreo.zip. Drag and drop the .zip file to the device’s unlocked screen and click on OK when asked for confirmation Now you should be able to install any app even if it has ARM code.
To install Android Oreo Gapps to your Android device you must have the following installed on your device: An Android 8.0 Oreo based AOSP ROM like CM14, Paranoid Android, SlimROM, etc. At least 20% battery on the device. └ Although, installing Oreo Gapps won’t take more than 3-5 minutes.
It is still the same. Let's hope that they will add. I use the x86 build for the android 8 emulator, which is built separately, specifically for this purpose.
