Android Quick Simulator Genymotion

Genymotion is the fastest-performing Android emulator, based on Oracle VM VirtualBox. Support for GPs, gravity sensor, light, temperature and many other sensors, support OpenGL 3D acceleration, battery power simulation, can run under Windows, Linux, Mac System, and provide a plug-in under Eclipse, can support the application development test under Eclipse.

(a) First, how to download and run the Genymotion simulator

Click on the Sign Up button on the http://www.genymotion.com/website to start registering.

Fill in the relevant registration information

After completing the registration, you will be prompted to send an email to the email address you completed in the previous step to activate your account.

Activate a newly registered account in a mailbox

Activating a newly registered account will prompt you to start downloading genymotion

Login to a newly registered account

Select Download Genymotion

Select the Genymotion-1.0-vbox.exe that contains VirtualBox to download

After downloading the Genymotion-1.0-vbox.exe, run the EXE and follow the default options to install it all the way down

After installation, the Genymotion command line tool icon will be found on the desktop: genymotion shell;genymotion program icon: genymotion:genymotion, and the virtual machine Oracle VM VirtualBox icon.

Clicking the genymotion icon to run Genymotion will prompt you to create a virtual device and click the Yes button to start creating the virtual device.

Connect to the server with a registered user name and password

Start adding the virtual machines you need after connecting the server

Press the Next button to create a virtual device

Click Next

Click the Create button

Create complete

Running Virtual appliances

Set up the Android SDK directory

Run the virtual appliance in Genymotion again

It's really a lot smoother than the simulator Google offers.

(ii) installation of an Ann Bunny for testing

Genymotion Simulator's Ann Bunny test score

Google Simulator's Ann Bunny test scores:

Ann Bunny measured on the same computer with Nexus 480x800 's virtual device genymotion scores of up to 13836, while http://blog.csdn.net/yearafteryear/article/details/ The Google simulator that was 9255431 tested only 953,genymotion a lot of parameters.

(iii) installation of the Genymotion plugin under eclipse

Launch Eclipse, select Help->install New software Menu

Click the Add button

Fill in Genymobile, http://plugins.genymotion.com/eclipse click OK button

Select the Genymotion related plug-in option to install

Accept the relevant agreement

Ignore related warnings

Prompted to restart Eclipse to complete the installation of the Genymotion plugin, click the Yes button to restart Eclipse

Restarting eclipse will find the genymotion icon on the toolbar and click to launch the plugin.

The first launch of the Genymotion plugin requires filling in the Genymotion installation directory: C:\Program files\genymobile\genymotion

(d) Debug the application, here I debug an OpenGL program. The program that found OpenGL was running well on the genymotion.

Click the genymotion plugin icon on Eclipse, and in the popup dialog box, select the previously created virtual device to start.

Right-click on the project under Eclipse and select Run as->run configurations in the popup menu.

In the Run Configurations dialog box, select the options below to

Then run the project to discover that the current OpenGL project is running smoothly on the genymotion.

(v) genymotion shell command-line tool
