Bluestacks for testing android apps on your PC

[thedesolatesoul]

Has anyone tried Bluestacks app player yet?
Apparently you can run Android apps on your PC (without emulator or virtual pc).
this should be much faster and instant.
I havent tried this yet, but anyone else can give it a spin: Bluestacks :: App Player for Windows :: Run apps fast on your PC or tablet

I'm running it now, it is pretty impressive!

I have tested it too, very nice.

It is a pile of junk. It took me an hour to un-install.

You still have to install stuff so what does it matter. Also it has odd limits.

I think I'm going to try Virtualbox instead.

I installed it succesfully with 1 click. It's quite nice for the alpha version.

I installed it to my PC; XP SP3. It works, but is erratic. I downloaded their utility to change window size but you end up with a window that has nothing to do with what you wanted. However, it does work with a couple of apps I'm in the process of writing and it allowed me to solve a problem I could not solve on my tablet. For alpha version software it's not bad. I'll be checking back with them!

Now latest version is rather good. Very fast. FTP supported. Looks like GPS also, with some dummy location result.

Just trying the latest release, Installed B4A bridge, fired up B4A on my PC, works perfectly so far.

I used too,but I have only beta version. I don't know that it is freeware ?

 

[Penko]

I am using it for running whatsup messenger on my PC. It works pretty good. The beta is free. Maybe they will set price for the final version.

So, if I understand correctly, one can have my app launched on a pc. Cool. And I have to suppose that one can always alter a pseudo device serial id and start spreading my app for pc-based use? For now, this is just my question for this forum.

You can indeed run your app on a PC. I'm using it now for testing and I'll most likely use it to sell my product for PC as well. It's still beta and not 100% bug free though. My biggest app doesn't run on it, but I guess it possible to figure out why and work around it.

How did you connect to B4A bridge? If set the bridge to listen on wifi, the IP address is a strange on, not 192.18.0.xx.
B4a cannot connect to it.

Oops, nevermind, I restarted ADB server and it connected it as an emulator. And Take Screenshot worked
