RAPT: Using 'Android Virtual Devices' for emulation?

#1 Post by Karl_C »

I'm just playing around a bit with RAPT, it seems to work very good so far.

One question: Sometimes it would be helpful to see how the game would look like on a, say, Galaxy S4.

As there are some AVD's already available (GitHub: A collection of pre-configured Android emulator configuration files (AVD and ini files)): Is it possible to use 'Android Virtual Devices' for emulation with RAPT?

I found out by myself. Actually, it IS possible to use the Android emulator installed together with RAPT.

You 'simply' have to start the Android SDK manager and let the Android SDK manager download a matching system image, then you have to create an 'Android Virtual Device'. After that you have to start the emulator and install the '.apk file' with the 'Android Debug Bridge'. All this needs several hundred MB disk space, a matching libGL, a working openGL installation and lot's of bandwidth too.

Short: Non-Developers like me should forget about that... :-D
