Is it possible to run an Android emulator without setting up Eclipse. I'm working with a contractor that has provided me with the .apk file.I was hoping I could run it without setting up a whole testing environment.
We've got you covered with our standalone installer that you can use to acquire our emulator without Visual Studio. Just open up the Visual Studio Emulator for Android entry in your Start Menu, hit play, and the emulator is ready to debug from any IDE. Download the standalone emulator today!
You can use an emulator with the ARM image instead of HAXM provided that you installed it in the SDK manager. Check your SDK manager to see if you have an ARM image instead for the API level you want, then go to the AVD manager and make a virtual device using ARM as the cpu.
In order to run an instance of the emulator, you must create an AVD. To create an AVD from Eclipse: Select Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager, or click the Android SDK and AVD Manager icon in the Eclipse toolbar. In the Virtual Devices panel, you'll see a list of existing AVDs.
There's no relationship from Eclipse and Android emulator other than the launcher icon. You can even run the emulator as a stand-alone application, there's no even need for android SDK.
The Android SDK tools are completely separate from Eclipse. You can simply download them from Android's website and run the AVD Manager.
