Hi,

we are currently using the AndroidNDK client library. is there a way to run on Android emulator? this is pretty essential because this allows us to test different device configurations and OS versions. Thanks!

    Stefan, who is responsible for the native SDKs will be back from vacation next week.
    Please hang on for the answer (the C++ compiler settings are too confusing for mere mortals)...

    Hi Kevin.

    Sure. Just deploy your app to the emulator instead of to a device. The emulator takes the same arm binaries as the device (that's also the reason why it is so terribly slow: it actually emulates an arm cpu so that you can run arm binaries in it, although the computer on which the emulator is running, is a x86 machine).

    However if you have just chosen the wrong word and actually meant the android simulator, which is a lot faster than the emulator, but needs x86 binaries of your app, then you are currently out of luck: Android x86 builds are still on our todo list.
