Hi.
My company is considering the purchase of an Android app (minimum Andriod 2.1) for our salesforce and wants to buy some Android tablets to run it. Regarding its functionalities, we're talking about an app that collects barcodes through the tablet camera and sends them to our network using our VPN over 3G network.
Mi idea was to wait a few months more and instead of buying the tablets, renew the laptops and buy some W8 tablets and run the application over them and that's where I have a couple of doubts:
1) How can I emulate Android in Windows 7/8?
2) Is there any possibility for the emulator to recognize both the tablet camera and the 3G SIM for communications?
Thanks for your help.

See here, Bluestacks
Hi.
Thanks for your answer! I had already came across bluestacks, but since the beta isn't available yet it's hard to find out if it will also emulate the hardware.
Thanks again.

No prob man! Sorry, I didn't realize that they pulled the alpha from their site. A quick google search will get you the alpha though if you wanted to give that a shot.
Download and install the Android SDK, and use the emulator that comes with it. You can set it up to emulate a phone or a tablet. Then transfer APK files through the Android Eclipse plugin.

I have a spare al-cheapo Toshiba netbook that I bought on Black Friday.
($143 + 5 hours of waiting in 27-degree temp) It came with Windows 7
but I managed to get rid of it and install a slimmed-down Windows XP.
The Windows XP OS only takes up 1.3GB of hard drive space, since all
the non-essential junk were all taken out one by one.
now that I have Android running fairly smoothly on my Touchpad, I can't
help but wonder.... is it possible to run Windows XP on the Touchpad?
thanks!
No, XP needs an Intel / AMD processor, and will not run on an ARM processor as in the Touchpad.
Win 7 > Win XP
I wholeheartedly agree that Win7>WinXP and that WinXP needs x86 chip architecture (as opposed to the ARM architecture in the touchpad). However, you can use splashtop remote desktop to access your netbook remotely through the touchpad. You install it on your netbook then you download the app on your touchpad. The app is 5 bucks through the market, but if you hurry you can get it for free through getjar (kinda like the amazon app store, google it).
as they told you, winxip and win7 require an x86 architeture while touchpad's is ARM, probably we will be able to run win8 when they will release the arm compiled version (in late 2012?)
Up until now Windows has been x86/64 based. Windows 8 will be arm based so there is hope, but the touchpad does make a good remote desktop client since the 1024*768 resolution is commonly used in windows

Got the getjar app but still cannot find splashtop app! I've tried different devices just in case this is filtered by compatible devices but still nothing.
Any ideas? Also what device do you have it set to use?
:I've hit thanks anyway for the response:
Once u install the application, just use your browser.

Hey man, I am glad I have been able to help. I am not a dev, so I try to help wherever I can. I purchased it when it came out for WebOS (before we had android) and really liked it. I was unaware that it was an old version (I have not used it yet since I got it from getjar), but either way, crazy good app that is very useful
Yo guys,
Nothing really new: a quick search on xda and I can see that this has been posted at a few places already.
But still...
- Have you ever wanted to show your dad what your magic phone does for you?
- Have you ever wanted to test drive an Android app before actually installing it on your phone?
- Ever got stuck without your phone and you miss your favorite 0-gravity game?
Well, problem solved!: test drive BlueStacks' Android App Player beta-1 for Windows.
All you need is an e-mail address, choose if 'you have a phone' or not [can sync your phone apps automatically -I'd suggest you to use a trial email address with the "I have no phone option" first...] and go enjoy your new gigantic smartphone on your big screen
Take that pads!!
The default installer is 3.6Mb in size, but there is also a ~100Mb .msi installer available [see pic 1].
Windows XP users might also what to make sure that they have Windows Installer v4.5 installed prior to BlueStacks' Player installation.
Hope you enjoy as I do.
Cheers.
I read about this a few months ago but never found it again. I missed the idea so much!... ^^… Thanks a lot dude!!
CM7 + CM9 double boot
Np - you're welcome.
Well this one ain't too old; it was officially released less than 24 hours ago..
Still a little limitted with some demanding apps (3D, maps, ...) and Hello Ads!
But still, has it uses...
For windows phones and tablets owners probably even a little more...
I read that microsoft was very interested in the project and maybe planned to buy it. Imagine if windows phones had access to the android application ecosystem? Big-time money for them. Even i would think about leaving android for WP if it happened
CM7 + CM9 double boot
Did someone of you manage to use the phone contacts in whats app on pc?

thanks it's awesome
haw....greetings from the forest, been a long time my friend.
good thing you posted this..this is a good find, since ive been bugged by my wife to have that stupid chat bot "simsimi" on her little netbook... i might try this & get her off my android...
Even Blackberry OS for Android allows it now through Emulators with their latest update
android sdk
Install android SDK and run your Android App in the Emulator in Eclipse(I am application dev)
Hi all,
this may be a silly question, and i apologise if its already been asked....
so on my Windows 7 laptop, i want to run some old programs...i use the Windows XP virtual machine feature....
is there an equivalent app for ANDROID that i can install on my HDX8.9 that would effectively allow me to run a stock rom 'inside' the virtual machine?
...and obviously get full play access ....or there would be little point.
obivously there would most likely be performance issues etc. and you are running and O/S within an O/S which some may find confusing or cumbersome.
just a thought....anyone know?
regards
Dale
Safestrap I believe. 13.3.1 or 14. You have your original OS and then allow you to create another Android OS(kinda).
I think I missed the whole idea you were getting at...

There is a way to mount linux in a rooted device- without actually installing it. Oracle might have worked around that- but the problem with a virtual machine is they are not actually installed. Something as easy to run as android could work- but seriously, that could work.

Your only option is an emulator, since windows runs on x86 and kindle has arm. Snapdragon 800 might be powerfull enough to emulate a windows xp, but be prepaired for serious perfomance issues. You should use the oldest version of windows that your software runs on. But for native android apps use 1mobile market.
Thanks all for the responses....just to clarify, what I was trying to ask is is there an app for android like the Virtual PC app on Windows that runs Android.....so I would be running a sandboxed android on android lol, kinda hoping for an alternative solution to the current root crisis....I.e. I have no root and its really frustrating that the awesome hardware in my HDX is crippled by not being able to access the play store....never mind the fact I can't load additional keyboards or wallpapers etc.

I'm sure you could run it in chroot, you'd have to create a bash script to boot it

Hello,
I am trying to determine the simplest and easiest to install Windows Android emulator for my particular application. My parents don't have a smartphone, but they recently purchased a smartplug for one their electrical heaters, and the only way to remotely control the smartplug is via an app (the smartplug does not have a way to control via web browser).
After looking at the following list (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-emulators-for-pc-655308/), many of these are for people who want to play Android games on a PC (which is overkill for what I need). I am try to determine which of these is easiest to use and install for our simple application? I will send my parents the instructions to set up on their Windows 10 PC after I first test on my PC.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey, since it's for your parents who don't play games.
Genymotion is the best emulator which they can try

Genymotion has 3 version
1. Genymotion cloud (paid)
2. Genymotion desktop for commercial uses(paid)
3.Genymotion for personal uses (free)
The free genymotion version link is https://www.genymotion.com/fun-zone/
If it helped u hit a thanks:good:
Thank you.... I have installed Genymotion and it seems to be very easy and works! Thanks again.
Hi.... just an update to this post. After a couple of months of using Genymotion, it looks like it is now asking for money $$ to continue using the free or personal version?
Does this make sense? I don't recall it mentioning anything about a temporary trial period.
Thanks
Anyone have a working app for the Shield as of yet for Apple TV +?
Cheers
Apple TV+ 1.2 apk works but when you go to sign in it requires something from the Fire TV firmware to complete.
I tried it but it doesn't work.
None work right now... seems most are counting on the release of Sony's APK for it to work.
Hi,
is there still no way to play Apple TV+ Stuff on Android without an iPhone/iPad?
Every newest version from the FireTV won´t work cause i need to install the latest FireTV Firmware ...

you can use browser then cast it to nstv or open tv.apple.com in a browser
Sorry for a stupid question and please don't link anything here if it violates any rules:
Where do people find a legit version of the APK?
Thinking about trying this on my Philips Android-TV and if that fails on my Odroid-C4 running Android.
Don't know how kinky sideloading an app is usually i.e. trying the APK for Shield / FireTV wouldn't work on either my TV (pref.) or "HTPC"?
Sorry for hijacking a bit, will do a separate thread if it is required (and allowed).

personally i dont have time to teach the basics on adb sideloading an app.. it should work on shield easily if ur connected to it properly and running the right commands in adb..
theres thousands of guides online about adb and adb install.. the apple tv+ app doesnt work on nstv however at this time so even sideloading the app will not work.. the only method ive used is to use web browser then go to tv.apple.com and play the videos through the web browser

I think you might have misunderstood what I was getting at;
I know how to sideload an app but it was just a general question on how kinky an app developed for a certain device (ex. FireTV / Shield) can be on another device (Philips implementation of Android-TV) etc. since they both are running Android.
My TV running Android-TV hasn't implemented something called "Android Mode Setting API" for instance and that caused some issues with an app (according to the devs).
So I can totally get that even through having the same platform - Android - different hardware can treat it differently depending on different hardware specs or implementations of Android.
However the question as where to find a reputable source of the APK remains, just googling it reveals a lot of different download locations where a lot seems really...sketchy.

LG 2018 model TVs just got an update that gives them Apple TV app, so may be there is hope for Android TV devices
LG rolls out Apple TV app for select 2018 smart TVs:
https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/08/20/lg-rolls-out-apple-tv-app-for-select-2018-smart-tvs
Any updates to this? i was about to start a new thread, when i came across this.
I got a free year of Apple TV+ with my iPhone 11 Pro Max for work, and just recently switched from Roku to the Chromecast with Google TV.
My fiancé got into one of the shows and i'd like to sideload the APK, if possible, if there's one that works.
Well, there is strictly Android TV version now (it was released with software update for some Sony TVs), but it also fails to work on other devices (says software update is required) - Source.
