We’ve curated a set of device profiles that represent the most popular hardware in the market, including devices from Samsung, Motorola, Sony, LG, and more. Now, the Visual Studio Emulator for Android is making testing across the gamut of Android devices a cinch by introducing Device Profiles. Making sure that your app works as expected for the most popular devices on the market can mean developer desks cluttered with devices and USB cables and require a significant financial investment. Android phones and tablets in the market span a wide range of versions and screen sizes and come in many different hardware configurations (RAM, CPUs, architecture, etc). It’s no secret that testing your Android app for compatibility across the staggering variety of Android hardware can be a challenge.
Today we’re announcing two more features to help you debug and test your Android apps on our fast, Hyper-V compatible, x86 emulator: Device Profiles and WiFi simulation.
Since our initial launch of the Visual Studio Emulator for Android, we’ve worked quickly to deliver on top feature requests, adding in support for hot-ticket items such as OpenGL ES 2.0, Lollipop, multi-touch, and advanced camera simulation.
