Jnes emulator visual problems
In the meantime VSE4A still works and is available for download, it is just missing images, specially newer ones (latest is API level 23 aka 6.0).īut at the end I’d really like Microsoft to address the cause of this blunder: the monopolistic Hyper-V behavior on desktop. Miguel tweeted that there might be a solution in the future But then you can’t run Docker, Windows Emulator and your other Hyper-V guests at the same time.
Sure, you can disable Hyper-V (reboot required) and go with Google’s Emulator or a better one from Genymotion. When Hyper-V is enabled it doesn’t allow any other virtualization host to run. Why do I even care? Oh, I do and you should do as well.

See, VSE4A is the only Android emulator based on Hyper-V. Which wouldn’t be that tragic if Hyper-V wasn’t involved. Wait, what? First time I heard that VSE4A is no more. We consider this a successful project that has come to a natural conclusion. However, Microsoft will no longer produce new Android images for the VS Android Emulator. We believe that Google, as the platform owner, is best positioned to provide ongoing support for new versions of the platform in a way that accurately and authentically reflects the real-world behavior on devices.įor developers like you who’ve come to love and depend on the VS Android Emulator, thank you! We will continue to support in-market platform images according to Visual Studio’s generous support policy. We also know that, for mobile developers, authenticity is key. Google’s emulator has become much faster and more feature rich. The next generation Google Android Emulator has closed the feature gap that previously differentiated Visual Studio’s emulator. Since then, Google has responded to developer feedback by increasing their investment in their tools. In addition to the great work performed by GenyMotion, the Visual Studio Android Emulator proved that emulators can be fast, productive tools for mobile development. When we first released the Visual Studio Android emulator, the Google emulator was slow, out-of-date, and a significant source of pain for mobile developers. We recommend that you try Google or GenyMotion’s emulator for future images of the Android operating system. Unfortunately, we have no plans to publish Android images past 4.4. The shocker came few seconds later in a form of an automated e-mail response (emphasis mine): Since they have a nice smiley icon for feedback I wrote a quick request to include level 16 as well since a lot of apps are targeting 4.1+, not just me.

So I fired up Visual Studio Emulator for Android and saw that API level 16 (4.1) is missing from the list. I recently tested a prototype of a Xamarin Android app that should run on Android 4.1+.
