Android on windows ?

[Cerberis]

Hi everybody

When you have develop an app on android thanks to Basic4Android (it's great !!!), is it possible to run this app on a pc with windows ?

Thanks to some emulator or ....

Of course I speak about the APK not the source code

The idea is to not develop the same app on Android and Windows

Thanks a lot for your help

This seems to work pretty well http://www.bluestacks.com

This one is worth a shot, still under development but it works: http://www.socketeq.com/

You can also try YouWave (it's not free).
They have a version for 2.x.x and one 4.x.x.
I've tested some *.apk files in YouWave and all works well.
Also Genymotion. Check out the B4A thread right HERE.

I use JarOfBeans which I found to be very fast once I enabled the virtual thingy in my PC BIOS.
Here is a link to a description of it.

I have switched to Genymotion as emulator. Works great, very reliable.

Does anyone know of a windows emulator with working bluetooth?

Hey IanMc, i think Genymotion supports Bluetooth, and being free it doesn't hurt to give it a quick try.
