Currently, Android-based mobile phones are expensive. If you only want to experience Android, it is not worth a few thousand yuan to buy a mobile phone. Fortunately, Google just came up with Android livecd 0.2. So what is livecd? Android, which can be carved on a CD, can be run on a PC. Of course, virtual pseudo-software such as VMware and virtualpc can also be used for running. Or use some of the recording software livecd engraved on the U disk, it becomes Android liveusb.
Note that android livecd is not the simulator in the android SDK. It is a real operating system, not a simulation. Test with Simulator Program Not necessarily in line with the actual situation of the real machine, but Android livecd can be used to test the program 100%, because it is the real operating system, the only difference is that a running on a PC, one runs on a mobile phone. If you don't talk nonsense, let's start with the next Android livecd, which is completely free of charge. Download URL: http://code.google.com/p/live-android/downloads/list

We recommend that you use BT to download the file (which contains the BT seed file). Otherwise, you have to manually merge the file, which is very troublesome.
Download an ISO, A VMware or virtualpc. This document uses VMware to create a virtual machine for Linux 2.4.x. Point the optical drive of the VM to an ISO file. OK, start, yeah, and finally come out. effect 1 is shown.

The effect is quite good, that is, layout has some misplacement. Now you can try it out. But the experience is not enough. We need to install our own APK program. Android livecd does not provide the Android Market program and cannot be downloaded from the market. However, you can still install a separate APK.
Because Android is based on the Linux kernel, you can use commands in Linux. Okay, first go to the Linux terminal, press Alt + F1, then enter the data/APP directory, and enter wget http: // ip address/blogger.apk. The IP address is the location of the APK on the network. Note that you cannot enter a domain name here. You must enter an IP address directly. My.apk is our APK file. You can enter your own URL. The wget command can download files from the network. It is a tool in busybox.
Because we do not use the root permission to log on, we can only create files in the data or data/APP directory. All your programs are stored in the app directory. You only need to put the APK directly in this directory to install the APK.
Then press Alt + F7 to return to the android desktop. Find the program and get it to the desktop. 2.

Start the program, the speed is abnormal, and the CPU of the PC is very fast. Haha. See the results, as shown in figure 3.

That is, the screen is wider, but we can also check whether our layout is suitable. If the screen size changes, the widgets will be messy. layout should be rearranged. Haha!
