I've been investigating whether to use Genymotion, with a particular focus on running automated Robotium tests. This means it now covers all relevant android versions except Froyo (v2.2), which at this time accounts for only 1-2% of all devices :) Update: As of January 2014, Genymotion supports Android v2.3.7 as well as v4.3 (with v4.4 in preview). Also, the integration of Google Apps/Services in Genymotion is fantastic.Ĭompatibility is the only downside, since Genymotion only provides v4.1+ images there is no way to test compatibility on older android versions - but for these tests I just use the standard android emulator (which is fine since it is not as frequent as normal testing). However, take these with a grain of salt because benchmark scores will vary greatly depending on the host system.Īs for the items you want benchmarks for, not sure that camera/gps can even be benchmarked (what would you test), and networking is perfect since it uses VirtualBox, which has always had great virtual network support.Īs a graphics/game developer, I find Genymotion unparalleled for running OpenGL code - on Genymotion it runs much smoother framerate wise, than using an x86+HAXM+HW GPU android emulator. Select it from list and just Click Start.Have a look here for some informal benchmark comparisons. Whenever you want to start any Genymotion Virtual device. Step 13: You will have a Genymotion icon on task bar. Step 12: In search option, write Genymotion.
Step 11: On other hand, Start Android Studio. Step 10: Sign In first and Select a device and click next. Now you need to Click Add button to create an Emulator for android development. Step 9: If its already signed in then it will show your user name on left bottom of screen. It might ask you to sign in to Genymotion account.(With the same credentials which you used for account creation) Step 8: Once Genymotion window is launched. Launch Genymotion by double clicking on it. Step 7: You will find a rounded Genymotion icon on your desktop.
Install Genymotion on your PC as you install any other software: Step 6: Once you get the dump of Genymotion, just double click on genymotion.exe file. We recommend you to select: “With Virtual Box”(Because sometimes old Virtual box may not be compatible with the new Version of Genymotion) Step 5: There will be two options: with Virtual box and without Virtual box.
