I am trying to run an android app i just created using Android Studio IDE. I am using a MTK device, i have downloaded and installed so many adbs but still can't solve the problem. My Laptop is running Windows 7(32Bits).
Use external android emulators like Leapdroid, GenyMotion, etc. I suggest you to install Leapdroid. It is very easy to use.
[U can download Leapdroid by the following link][1]

I'm having trouble getting any android emulator other than "Xamarin Android Player" to work (only with older versions of android).
What kind of virtual device/settings/properties should I use so that I can test newer versions of android and not have to wait 15 minutes for the emulator to startup?
is there a "Go-to" virtual device/emulator setup that doesn't take 15+ minutes to load?
(using windows 10/Visual Studio 17/2015)
The Xamarin android player has been discontinued for a while. As a visual studio user you should probably be moving onto the Visual Studio Android Emulator. There is a guide here on setup
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/get-started/installation/android-emulator/
it is also available with visual studio 2017, and if i remember correctly is an option available in the Vs2017 installer.
I highly suggest Genymotion for most uses. You can download the free version which works well for most basic things (there are also a few small things you can do using the adb command prompt without having to buy the full version, such as taking screenshots).
Link to free version
They have a good list of different devices. I have also recently even got it successfully connecting to my Parallels Windows machine while the emulator is running on my Mac. Let me know if you need help with this specific scenario.
The other option for you is the Visual Studio Android Emulator. When it first cam out I tried using it but was not able to because I would need to run it on a Parallels VM which does not allow nested virtualization.
I have a few questions and I'm hoping some people could explain it a bit more.
Recently Xamarin has been released to the public for free and you're able to download/install it for free.
Let me say first that I have Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2015 installed on my computer.
I have succesfully installed Xamarin and the Java/Androids SDKs and got it running.
But now I have the following 'problems':
When opening a new Xamarin Forms project I get the following message:
"A problem was encountered creating the sub project 'Projectname.Windows'. This project requires a Visual Studio update to load. Right-click on the project and choose "Download Update"."
Is this because of my OS?
When opening the new project, the 'ProjectName.UWP (Universal Windows)' subproject always give errormessages on everthing.
Reason?
If I want to run the .IOS subproject, is the only way by connection a IOS device? Is there no emulator for example an Iphone?
Thank you.
It's possible that you don't have the SDK / tooling installed for Windows Phone, so you will have to download the update as described in the error message - this should resolve the problem.
What error messages are you receiving?
You need to connect to a Mac over the network which will allow you to build and debug your apps. You can deploy apps to the iOS Simulator on your Mac, or to an iOS device connected to your Mac, from Visual Studio. For more information on using Xamarin.iOS with Visual Studio, I would suggest the following guide: Introduction to Xamarin.iOS for Visual Studio
Regarding your questions.
1. You should check you updates of the Visual Studio. There are a possibilities that the supporting packages can't locate. The error says that you need to download the updates. Nah, it's not about your OS. If you are done installing the visual studio, then your IDE is working properly. The problem persist is whenever you are lack of updates and packages in the give project.
2. The error could be your pc has no windows emulator to support the UWP to run properly. If you have one, uninstall it and install again.
3. You can use emulator, iOS Emulator but you still need a mac. There's a agreement between microsoft and mac regarding this thing. So far, until now, you can't run iOS simulator in Windows without Mac devices with XCODE
I hope it makes sense.
Answers to your Questions
1. it may be a visual studio update issue, try with latest.
2. i think UWP projects are not supporting with windows 7 OS(correct me if i am wrong), and also try with shared project structure,because portable has some problems with windows 7.
3. Yes currently there is no iOS emulator for Visual studio, if you want to run your app on ios simulator you have to connect your visual studio to Mac machine and then you can run.
Hope this will help
Answering your questions:
1- you might need to upgrade to windows 10. I have solved many issues when I upgraded to Windows 10. VS 2017 works very well with win10.
2- I would definitely recommend downloading the Visual Studio emulator which is a dedicated standalone application that has many emulators. It's much faster and reliable than android emulator. Also it has iPhone and windows emulator too.
3- in order to be able to use iPhone emulator, you must either do:
A) have a Mac device in the network to be able to connect VS with it. And it must have xcode installed on it.
B) you can also do a vmware virtual machine on any windows device and install on it xcode.
For detailed explanation on how tondo the above you can find them on YouTube.
Hope you have more luck.

I'm new to Android programming. I have installed Android SDK and the Android Studio IDE. I have started by reading this. I copied this code in eclipse and then run my code as Android application. The problem is that when the emulator appears I can't unlock the phone! Also it is too slow and I can't do anything. What are the other options to run Android app?
If you run Windows or Mac and your hardware is not enough to use emulator, you may check BlueStacks (http://www.bluestacks.com). It's like a Android player for PC.
