This video will be focused on making sure our new project can be deployed and ran on an Android platform. We'll discuss configuration settings for the Android project and Android SDK tools. There are also many emulator choices to discuss although we'll start with the Android supplied emulator.
New Terms:
- adb -- Android Debug Bridge a command line tool for Android debugging
Android Emulator Choices:
- Android Emulator, installed by default that covers all API but can be slow
- Microsoft Android Emulator, runs well but does not support the latest API
- GenyMotion, great emulator with many options and APIs but uses VirtualBox which can conflict with other VMs, and costs money
