New FREE Real Fast Android Emulator "Bluestacks"

Post by Fasasoftware » Thu Aug 09, 2012 4:41 pm

Dear friends,
i have found this new FREE real fast android emulator either for mac and windows....go herehttp://bluestacks.com/.

But there's a little problem...i can't run my app.apk builded with livecode 5.5.1....if i build the app for 2.2 android the emulator blue stack..say to me that "CERTIFICATE NOT VALID", but if i try to set 3.0 android minimum deployement the emulator says to me "SDK-OLD"...
Can somebody have any idea to solve this problem?? This emulator is really fast and easy to test your own apk apps...

Thanks a lot ,

lestroso :D

I installed the Alpha on my Mac, but I don't see any way to install a new app on the emulator.

Also, the emulator eats CPU (and therefore battery) like mad, even when it is doing nothing but displaying a launcher screen.

I think I'll stick with the standard AVD from Google for now.

It's a good find though! It would be nice for it to become a viable alternative in the future.

Currently on my third trial, and still finding LiveCode to be difficult for mobile applications in general, and particularly poor for Android

Did you set your signing option to "no signing" in your Android build settings?
