Jim Brown Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 13, 2014 #1 Now this is an interesting move. MS releasing MS Visual studio with an impressive looking Android development package. The emulator is most interesting. Watch the video to see what I mean. I wonder how it stacks up against Android Studio / Eclipse ? http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-fast-emulator-with-some-super-cool-features/ Oh, and talking of fast Android emulators, for anyone who has still not tried it, see GenyMotion (which I use with B4a).

They have the technology Steve Austin I do like Visual studio @Jim Brown. I must admit that does look extremely interesting. But I'm staying right here on this great B4A community that we have all helped to create. We have the technology... Last edited: Nov 14, 2014

LucaMs Expert Licensed User Longtime User Nov 14, 2014 #3 Definitely a great IDE, but the speed of the Google emulator with this change is just as high.
aaronk Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 14, 2014 #4 I come across that the other day. I wonder if you can just get the emulator only and run it with our B4A Apps? I don't see why we can't load the B4A-Bridge on it and then push our app to it or I guess you don't even need to have the B4A-Bridge as I would think it would run just like the current emulators. I think I will stick to B4A for Android development since I have been working with it for a while and the support from Erel (and the community) is fantastic and don't see Microsoft giving this type of service, plus Visual Studio costs a lot more then B4A.
