Creating emulator for Zebra mobile computers- Handheld device - android

I am creating an app for Zebra mobile computer TC25/TC20 for scanning barcodes.
For this after installing Emdk for Zebra I am able to see the EMDK api, but system image is not available to create Emulator.
Can anyone please help me to get these system image file for Zebra devices.

The images are not available for any of the Zebra mobile computers and you need to develop on a physical device, at least when you come to integrate with the EMDK library. Some people develop their applications to run on both Zebra & non-Zebra devices which would allow you to develop as much as possible on an emulator and move to a physical device only when you work on scanner integration (one example of doing something similar is my app at https://github.com/darryncampbell/WakeLock_WifiLock_Exerciser)

Is it possible to flash or install stock Android on a smart watch?

I am looking to install stock Android (Lollipop/Marshmallow etc.) on my LG Watch Urbane. I cannot find any help on this since everywhere I search, I only get information about Android Wear.
I do not want Android Wear but a full, regular version of Android running on the watch. My main reason for doing this is to be able to eventually write my own personal custom Android ROM for the watch, but in order to start I want to see how regular Android will run on the watch.
I found that a CyanogenMod could be run on Samsung Galaxy Gear as demonstrated by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb0R_JeI6gg
Is there is strict specific hardware requirement to port Android (or even CM, misc. ROMs) on a smart watch? By this I mean, can I take any off the shelf smart watch and port Android to it? What steps do I need to take (like rooting, unlocking a bootloader etc.?)

How to simulate different bluetooth devices in one application?

I want to develop an Android application which can simulate different Bluetooth devices in one.
for example on launching this application my android device or Computer system act at Bluetooth watch to other devices.
The closest solution I found is a IOS application by Attack pattern .com

I tried to develop the similar application in android or LINUX system but not find any solution.
Please help.

External fingerprint scanner for non-rooted Android tablets

We want to develop an application where users will be using a handheld scanner for taking fingerprint of the customer via an android tablet. Now, I have a few questions:
I went through many discussions here as well as on other forums, but
nobody really mentioned the status of the device, ie. Rooted or
stock. Now does a non-rooted android tablet device support third
party scanners?
I read somewhere that the device needs to have UVC
kernel. Is this necessary? Or will any device with OTG support work?
Found a tablet from a french mobile security company, tablet named
Tazpad. It provides an in-built biometric. Does anybody have any
experience with it?
Is bluetooth scanner a possible option?
Please note that this will be for a banking organization and we cannot play with the kernel of the device. They are already opting to use Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. But if this device does not support, then we can suggest any other tablet.
Thanks
Do you want to take the fingerprint image only? If yes, then Bluetooth Fingerprint scanner is a good option. You can use any Android Tablet or Smart Phone or iOS Device.

implementing scanner using phonegap

I was using Android SDK for my application development. Now I am in a situation to move on cross platform development so, I started learning Phonegap as it is well suitable for cross platform.
I want to use external scanner device and card swipper with android device. I googled it but i didnt find any useful ideas.
I explored phonegap.com/ but it explains only about using device sensors,contacts and media information..etc. But It didnt say about implementing external hardware devices.
Please help me.
For a barcode scanner, you probably want to get a bluetooth capable device, as USB devices can be problematic to connect to different devices. Start by using it in HID mode, which emulates a keyboard (nb, doesnt play nice on iPad and other apple devices, popup keyboard disappears, but android ok). Later you can try using SPP mode. When using HID mode with phonegap, you dont need to do anything special, just read as keystrokes in html pages.
There is also a phonegap plugin for zxing to use the camera, but you asked about external physical scanners, which are faster for bulk scanning.
Haven't tried connecting card swipe readers to android yet

Creating a mobile application for a specific device

I was looking to create a mobile application for this handheld thermal printer device.
This application is Win CE based. Does anyone know if there is a similar device with Android O.S(Having printer and barcode reader) ?
The sourcecode for the zxing project is open source and fairly simple to use, could that not work for what you want?
Google code ZXing
As far as Im aware there aren't any devices such as that one, but it may happen later on down the line, if the manufacturers who sell those devices see Android as a viable / cost effective route to take (but this would involve losing all the investment in the windows CE platform)
