Can anyone tell me how can i install or port my own driver(EX: Display driver) on android emulator and how to test it....
Thanks, Manju
I'm guessing you have read the Display Drivers section of the porting documention as well as bits about the Android Virtual Device (AVD) emulator configuration already. An AVD device can be configured to match your characteristics of your display, but that won't actually test your display driver. It doesn't appear that the emulator is extensible in that regard (without modifying QEMU).
So .. perhaps write an application-level test suite that runs on the emulator, and then try it on your actual device.

I am running an emulated Nexus 5 running Android 5.1.0 on Xamarin, and I cannot for the life of me get adb to recognize the emulator as a device. The only way I can get the device to connect is through TCP/IP, connecting to the emulator's given IP address manually.
I've tried reinstalling the Android SDK, Xamarin, and VirtualBox (which the Xamarin emulator uses), as well as tweaking several settings in each, all of which lead to nothing.
And no, running
adb kill-server
adb start-server
does NOT fix the issue, like every other thread I've seen has suggested as the only fix.
I look forward to your help, and thank you in advance!
EDIT: Additionally, I should add that adb devices DOES recognize my physical Android device when connected through USB, but still not the emulated device.
If you are using Xamarin Android Player. Try following steps
Shut down the emulated device.
Open Oracle VM virtual box manager
Identify emulated device and open settings.
Go to USB tab and Enable USB Controller.
Save settings. And start device from Xamarin Android Player
Try different sub options from Enable USB Controller. I enabled USB 1.1 and it worked for me. I am not sure it will work for all. Let me know your experience.
I am trying to learn android on a dell device having 4gb ram and intel pentium chipset. I am trying to run hello world app on a emulator but it actually take much time(more than 5 minutes) to start the process and at the end give error message "Error while waiting for device: Timed out after 300seconds waiting for emulator to come online". As far as testing on device is considered i find it fast and easy.
So my question is that possible to always test an app on real device and skipping the testing on an emulator.
Also suggest me some tips to make my android studio run faster.
.
Its always better to test on a real device. Its very fast especially when debugging. If your emulator is taking long to load imagine a situation where you are trying to debug and want to check the app's behaviour after each change in code. Just install the usb drivers and sdk tool that your device's api version is running on
Sure it is!
First of all, enable the developer mode in your device (if it's not enabled already). Info for doing this here.
Then just plug your device via USB and it will appear when you run your project in Android Studio.
NOTE: The first time you attempt to run the project, your phone will ask for permissions, make sure you allow it!
It will be good if we are testing the application in real device rather than emulator if you have the device. But we can't buy different density, different dimension, different android version devices for testing so for that purpose we need to use emulator.
To improve the speed of android emulator install HAXM in your system, it will speed up the emulators.
REQUIREMENT - Need to connect a emulator with my Appium code. As my normal emulator takes even 2 days to open the menu screen, I have been trying to use "GENYMOTION" which is fast.
PROBLEM - After starting a virtual device, Looking in cmd prompt for list of devices keying "adb devices". I have my virtual device name listed as "192.168.175.101:5555". How can I connect the virual device? How can I install my app??
HELP NEEDED - Now how should I make use of Genymotion virtual device to work for my Appium automated test.
Should I make changes in the Android settings of Appium? If so explain.
Should I change the name of device in code?capabilities.setCapability("deviceName","192.168.175.101:5555");
Yes change port number in android settings and in code also both the port number should be the same i.e android settings and code port numbers.
To install the required app in connected devices follow the below points
1.Open command prompt.
2.type adb install space and then drag the apk file from the saved folder and click enter.
3.wait some time app will install and responds with success message
At maximum that you need to do is mention the device name as set in GenyMotion by you. The capability deviceName as used in android is currently ignored, you can refer the documents on appium.io
deviceName - The kind of mobile device or emulator to use iPhone
Simulator, iPad Simulator, iPhone Retina 4-inch, Android Emulator,
Galaxy S4, etc…. On iOS, this should be one of the valid devices
returned by instruments with instruments -s devices. On Android this
capability is currently ignored.
So you can continue using the line of code :
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName","192.168.175.101:5555"); //you can provide the name as "TestDevice", "Emulator" etc..
Irrespective of what name you provide, appium uses the first available device from the list of adb devices on your machine.
Also on your appium server GUI, you might want to uncheck the emulator option if you are using GenyMotion, as appium would treat it as a real device connected for automation.
I have set up a virtual machine running an Android 4.4 system on VirtualBox, in a Windows 7 system, for convenience in testing an Android app I am trying to develop. What last remains, is to be able to make the guest Android OS look like it's connected to the host via USB, to be able to use USB Debugging. Is there a way to achieve that?
EDIT: By "convenience" I mean I do not have a good enough physical device at my hands at the moment, and my processor happens not to support VT-x, in which case I could just use an AVD with Android Studio. Therefore, the VirtualBox choice is the next best thing I got, until I get a new device on my hands. What has priority at the moment is to create the app's utility, looks will be taken care of later on.
If your Android system is rooted you can install Wifi ADB (or some similar application) through Android Play store and debug over TCP.
The steps can be simply:
Install Wifi ADB (from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.wifiadb&hl=es)
Execute and start service (Bettle will go to green)
Open Command line in Windows 7 machine
Run the connection command, for example:
adb connect 192.168.125.232
Test device connection with
adb devices
Enjoy testing your application!
I want to run my own android application and sample application on my android intex x1 phone android version 2.3 a low budget phone. I connect my phone with laptop it said driver failed may be my mobile drivers.
But I have other drivers like tethering and storage(because my phone is connected).
can any one tell me what drivers i need. i don't know what are OEM drivers 0r ADB drivers.
i am finding the solution from last two days. but could not downloaded\find any working drivers. I am using window 7 and on eclipse AVD if working normally. I getting solutions like how to root your mobile etc.
I want to run application on my android phone. Please direct me some steps. I think their are no drivers available.
Is their any other solution like universal ADB drivers or like that.
Is http://pdanet.co/bin/PdaNetA4150.exe a solution in my case?
use universal drivers that connect to any device. download your drivers from intexmobile.in.
or use software like mobogenie or pdanet+.
