Android emulators that:
Start quickly. Run smoothly. Are lightweight.
Match every current OS version & screen size.
Are accessible from your browser.
An Android emulator is included in the Android SDK. Using this emulator you can mimic the hardware of a device. OS modifications made by the device vendors are not included in this emulator.
From what i know there is Blackberry Eclipse Plugin ...
Here, a link

Maybe it helps
The android emulator is included for the SDK, http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You may want to take a look at this thread -> Samsung Galaxy s3 emulator settings . It mentions configurations to setup the Galaxy SIII emulator, and also other related configurations.
from Android Studio v2.4 some of AVD supports Google Play. You can use a native tool because they are much more better than previously

Do I need to install an emulator of some sort? Are there any online services that offer this? I've found little guidance elsewhere on this matter. I'm on Windows 8, just trying to figure out (locally) why my android users are experiencing issues with an MVC app.
The easiest way would be to download and install the Android SDK and use the emulator to try and reproduce the problem. The SDK has emulator images for all versions of Android, and you can create devices with different screens (resolution/dpi/size), so if your site uses responsive design you can test also how it scales across different devices and whether the problem affects one specific or all Android devices.
However, it is possible that the emulator might not be good enough for reproducing and understanding the problem. The Android SDK images come with the browser that is part of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). While this browser is technically based on WebKit, it is based on a rather old version of it. Most OEMs that have built Android devices have signed the Google Mobile Services (GMS) license ship on their devices the Google suite of apps which includes the latest version of Chrome, which is based on the most recent WebKit version. The difference in the behavior between the two browsers is rather big.
So if the problem turns out to be with Chrome instead of the AOSP Browser, you will have to buy a real device and test on it. Depending on the budget you have and whether you want a phone or a tablet, you can go with a Nexus 5 ($350 w/o contract), Nexus 7 ($230 wifi only), or a Moto G ($175 w/o contract). Of course, you could also buy Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One X, or a Moto X, but they all will cost you more.
It might be worth also borrowing from someone a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, or equivalent low end MDPI device.
well, you can install an android emulator and use the browser there (http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/index.html), but it's extremely slow,
so you should, instead, try Genymotion. It's an android virtual machine and it's pretty smooth. (http://www.genymotion.com/)
another option, is the Opera mobile emulator, but that is specifically for the mobile Opera browser. (http://www.opera.com/developer/mobile-emulator)
if you want a chrome specific approach, try this (https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/mobile-emulation)
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html has the emulators.
… but it may be just as cost-effective to just spring the $40 for a cheap Android tablet with WiFi.
as it states in the title I am unable to find Samsung Galaxy option for installation in Android SDK Manager (Revision 20.0.3).
Could anyone help on the matter?
PS: Where ever I looked it is said that there should be third party option or should be under Android 2.3 but it isn't there.
Thanks for helping.
You can (and will probably have to) create an emulator image with the specifications of the device you are trying to duplicate. If you are looking for prebuilt ones you'll have to check with the respective manufacturer. If you are expected to see TouchWiz or HTC Sense on the emulator build, you won't as those are proprietary skins.
But, Android != Android and Samsung use their own modified webkit amongst other things.
Just making a best guess from the hardware specs is going to as effective as using chrome.
How can installed Adobe flash player 10.1 on Android simulator 2.2?
Hi sujay1407 until now thats not possible, I asked directly to a google engineer, necessarily needed an android device with hardware and software required for Flash Player 10.1

Here you can download APKs for various versions of Android. They also install properly on the emulator, however I don't know if they actually are able to run.

edit: nope, it installs but does not seem to work. I've just tested http://www.adobe.com/swf/software/flash/about/flashAbout_info_small.swf on emulator and empty black page showed up.
I'm interested in playing around with the Android OS, but I do not need or want a phone.
It doesn't look like there are any 'non-phone' Android devices out there, so maybe there's a device that is compatible that I can flash.
Any ideas?
they sell them at Kmart. http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/08/06/attention-kmart-shoppers-149-android-tablet-on-aisle-5/?section=magazines_fortune
There are some pads, e.g. those made by Archos, which run Android but cost significantly less than a phone.
If you just want to play with the os, you could try the Android emulator which ships as part of the Android SDK (free).
A quick Google search for Android tablet reveals the existence of several such devices.
Can I use any Android Phone for app development? Here in the Philippines, there are many available mobile phones with Android installed. But I want to buy the cheapest phone available (which I think is Samsung i5500 Galaxy 5). Thanks in advance!
You can use any android powered device for development, just make sure it has Development menu option. To check go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development. If there is somewhat like USB Debugging option you can use device for the development.
Why not use the actual dev kit? There is a complete setup with virtual phone included that you can run as an eclipse plugin.

I think any Android platform based phone will be OK.
Yes you can, and I would definitely recommend using a real phone. The emulator is excellent, but somewhat slow for a number of applications that require hardware (OpenGL comes to mind). Even a G1 tends to be faster than the emulator for certain things. If you're creating an app that uses Bluetooth, there's no way to do so on the emulator currently. Konstantin's directions are good for actually setting up the phone.
You need to understand one thing before you buy the phone. What version of Android SDK you will be using for to develop the app. If say, you are developing the app for cupcake and above, you better have a phone with cupcake version. But if you have Froyo phone, you will not be still able to run the app, but some depreciated functions might not be available and your app may crash.
If you want to develop in Windows there is a list of devices available for which the USB drivers work: USB Driver for Windows
If you don't need the GSM part you could also think about using the Archos 5 Internet Tablet, which is a Android powered media player and supports ADB (Android debug bridge) as well
