testing app on Android 11... what options are there?

[sorex]

Hello,

Someone reported a problem in one of my apps.

A cell on the left side of the screen that can't be clicked anymore since he upgrade to Android 11.

As I don't have any devices with Android 11 on it how would I be able to troubleshoot this?

Stuff like Bluestacks is still running on Android 9, Genymotion seems to have changed to a pay model and it doesn't go beyond Android 10 here.

Clicking on AVD manager in B4A doesn't seem to do a thing either and I'm not sure if there is an Android 11 image already.

i believe android 11 emulator is available for android studio. (probably also for intellij idea, which is what android studio uses). both free, if that's what is required. you don't have to develop with either. just run the emulator. b4a will see it. see here i got rid of android studio, but i still use a pixel3a emulator with intellij idea.

speaking of pixel3a, for about US$100 you can get one on ebay. if you hurry, it will still upgrade to android 11. mine has received regular updates directly from google, the latest a month ago. i believe the update window for pixel3 closes in a few months.

You can also compile the apk and upload to appetize.io and run it on their online emulators

thanks guys.

can I use the B4A SDK tools to install the emulator and image or do I really need to install that android studio tool and go on from there?

that trial plan is that 1 single month? or does it stay free as long as you don't go beyond that 100 minutes monthly limit?

I was able to run the app through appetize but you can't see if it's really android 11 it's running on.

Nice find tho, Erel should create something like that for us and I guess a lot of people are willing to spend some bucks for it.

The Android Versions are below. You can change the device and android version from there. You can also turn on Debug On to see logs

As long as you dont go beyond the 100minutes / month and you are limited to one account.

My current account has almost 10 apps in it

you can download Android Studio and create android 11 emulators there.

Have a look at AWS Device Farm - comes with a one-time free trial of 1000 device minutes. After that you are charged US$0.17 per device minute.
