Step 2: Install gapps - Before we go on to the next step, you need to download the flashable zip of gapps by your virtual device's Android version:Īndroid 5.0.x, Android 4.4.x, Android 4.3.x, Android 4.2.x, Android 4.1.x, Android 4.0.x, Android 2.3.3Īnd then drop&drop the downloaded file to a virtual device like previous and go through the flashing process. You might need to relaunch for a few times before it can boot up. In case you accidentally close the virtual device, don't be panic. To make it done completely find, you need to reboot the device through command line like this: adb reboot You need to reboot the virtual device now but we don't suggest to just close the virtual device and relaunch it once again since it may leads to some weird behaviour. There will be an another dialog to let you know that the flashing process is done. Just simple click OK to flash it on virtual device. After file transfering is done, there will be a confirmation dialog like below.
To install, download Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1zip and then drop&drop the downloaded file to an opened Genymotion virtual device. To make it works, we need to install an ARM Translation which will let those ARM apps be able to run on this x86 virtual device. That's the reason why we can't just simply install gapps on Genymotion. But CyanogenMod's gapps is compiled in ARM. Step 1: Install ARM Translation - The secret behind Genymotion's fluidness is its ROM is compiled to x86 to match the most popular computer's CPU Architecture. on Genymotion emulator which makes us developer not be able to test those functionalities that use Google Services for example GCM Push Notifications or Google Maps.Īnyway it is not a problem anymore since there is some simple steps to do to make Google Services be avaiable on Genymotion with some help from CyanogenMod's gapps. However, it still lacks of Google Services just like Google Play Store, Google Maps, etc. And we actively participate on Stack Overflow.Due to Genymotion's fluidness and ease of use, it now becomes the most popular android emulator allows android developers to test their app directly on their computer. PostscriptĬheck out more resources on our developer portal and follow us on Twitter can post questions on our forums. Now that you’re set up with a better emulator environment, take a look at the Couchbase Mobile Training for a step-by-step look at everything you need to develop with NoSQL for mobile. It won’t fully shutdown, so you’ll still have to kill the virtual device. I’ve had no problems after “powering off” the device with the (virtual) power button. Ideally you would reboot your device using adb, but this hasn’t worked for me. You should see the following dialog pop up: (Note this may only work for versions 2.7.2 and later of Genymotion.)
Drag and drop the zip package to the virtual device.(These latter steps must be done for each device.) (I’ve installed “stock”, but anything down to “nano” should do.) Select the Android release that corresponds to your virtual device Android version.Many write-ups will tell you to install both an ARM-x86 translator, and an ARM version of GP. Fortunately, you can install a bundle containing GP yourself. Many apps depend on Google Play (GP) services. The number after “inet” is the IP address you need.
For example, on Linux or OSX, you can use ifconfig. To check, you can use any tool that lists the information for your network interfaces. I find this generally ends up as 192.168.56.1. To connect to a service on the host machine, you need to use the IP address of this interface. The connection happens through a virtual interface named “vboxnet0”. The HO device allows connecting to the host machine. Genymotion sets up two, a NAT service to connect to the outside world, and a “host-only” (HO) device. Virtualbox has several networking modes used to expose a guest virtual machine (in this case, an emulated Android device). Genymotion achieves this by running an x86 version of Android in Virtualbox. I’ve used it for years, and highly recommend it for any serious developer. Genymotion makes a drop-in replacement that’s blazingly fast. The standard Android emulator can be painfully slow.
