I don't have an Android phone right now. But in my application I need to use the accelerometer values. How can I do this in a simulated environment?
I don't think there is any Gyroscope support in the Emulator. The gyroscope cannot be emulated based on magnetometers and accelerometers, as this would cause it to have reduced local consistency and responsiveness. It must be based on a usual gyroscope chip.
Emulator for native development with Android StudioIn the Android Studio toolbar, select your app from the run configurations drop-down menu. From the target device drop-down menu, select the device that you want to run your app on. Select Run ▷. This will launch the Android Emulator.
The Android emulator doesn't support it itself but OpenIntents' SensorSimulator fills the void. Download and unpack the zip file, then start the standalone jar file:
$ java -jar bin/sensorsimulator.jar
Next, install SensorSimulatorSettings on the emulator using the adb tool which comes with the SDK:
$ adb -s <emulator device> install bin/SensorSimulatorSettings.apk
(run adb devices to find the emulator device name). Finally, run the installed SensorSimulatorSettings app in the emulator and enter the IP address 10.0.2.2 (despite what the SensorSimulator application might suggest. This is an alias to the loopback device of the development host so should always be valid.
