I want to install a test database on the Android Emulator in Visual Studio 2015 Community for a Xamarin Forms project.
Can't find any instructions on how to do this.
(Also can't figure out how to access the Terminal on Android Emulator.)
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

I am very new in xamarin development. Recently I install xamarin with visual studio 2015 in windows 10. I have created a simple project in xamarin android. It build perfectly but when I try to run the project in emulator getting "There were deployment errors, continue?" popup message.
.
I have googled and do not get any proper solution. Please help me to solve the problem.
had the same problem on windows 64 bit
i'm using the latest android sdk build tools at this moment (v25.0.1)
just installed jdk 9 and a 32 bit version of jdk(version 7) due to this link
then changed the jdk path in tools>options>Xamarin>Android settings.
restart visual studio. clean and rebuild. that's it.
You may have wrongly selected "target Android version" to version your emulator is running on.
Make sure that these two are aligning.
VS -> (right click on project) -> properties - > Android Manifest (tab) -> Target Android version (drop down)
In my system, I'm using latest Android SDK build tools at this moment(v26.0.1) and Visual Studio 2017 Version 15.7.4.
In Regedit the Android SDK also same Visual Studio tools>options>Xamarin>Android settings. But the problem was same with me.
In my case, I changed the Package Name in Android Manifest then the problem has been solved.
I had this same problem, which I solved by editing the Android emulator on Android Device Manager giving it a processor of both 32 and 64 bits (x86_64).
After doing this, Android Device Manger downloaded and updated the Emulator configuration. After this I was able to run and debug my app with no problems on Android Emulator.
you should increase free space in drive C and empty temp folder
Is it possible to use the Visual studio emulator for android as a stand alone android emulator without Visual studio IDE.
I am having trouble getting it up and running.
Facing issues such as these:
Visual studio (2015) emulator for android not working - XDE.exe - Exit Code 3
Visual studio emulator for android Stuck at Copying .vhd files
you can download standalone install here and find more information on its from : https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/msft-android-emulator/

As in the title, I cannot use Xamarin in Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10, because I have Tools > Android menu disabled. Has anyone got the same issue? I was trying to figure out what the problem is and find the solution for hours, but nothing like reinstalling Visual Studio or installing Android Studio and later launching the Visual Studio helps.
the solution to solve this problem :
to launch uninstaller.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
then to do a manual installation
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/getting_started/installation/windows/manual_installation/
Now it is OK, the sub menus under Tools / Android are active.

yesterday I put my IDE logs as Jon Douglas asked because I had the same issue and now this post is not here. Why ?
The better solution is :
1) Uninstall Android SDK Manager C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
(Wait till the Uninstall completes...it will take some time complete...so wait)
2) Open Visual Studio 2015 Community Installer, scroll down and click the CheckBox for Android SDK Manager, Visual Studio then automatically installs the Android SDK Manager.
Visual Studio 2015
Recently updated VS to the newer version VS 2015 Community Edition from the pre release 2015 version.
Whenever I try to start the android emulator (tools>Visual Studio Emulator for Android) it throws an error instantly:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Visual Studio.Telemetry, Version = 14.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of it's dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I have tried to 'repair' visual studio and also the emulator itself in Programs and features.
Does anyone know how to fix this or is having the same issue?
This can happen if you don't have a version of the emulator that matches with a version of Visual Studio. Do you have RTM Visual Studio with an older version of the emulator? You can check by going to Add/Remove programs and verifying that:
Microsoft Visual Studio is version 14.0.23107.10 or greater
Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android is version 1.0.50715.4 or greater
If not, you should uninstall the emulator and update it to the RTM version (the version number above or later).
I had the same problem with the latest version of Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 (Update 3).
It turned out that I had to remove an old version of the emulator and then install the new version.
Although the documentation tells that the Visual Studio Emulator for Android will be installed with the Visual Studio Setup, I could not find any entry in the setup for the Android Emulator and changing or repairing Visual Studio setup did not help.
Thanks to #John Kemnetz answer I found out that an old version of the Android emulator was installed. Maybe this prevented Visual Studio setup to install the right version?
I uninstalled the old Android emulator from Control Panel => Programs and Features.
Next I downloaded the new Android emulator from Visual Studio Emulator for Android and now it starts OK.
