Android emulators

First, you must be familiar with the use of ATSMobilestation, which centralizes all of the mobile terminals that are accessible from a given PC / server.

ATSMobilestation can connect to your physical terminals, with mobile terminals in the cloud (via the Genymotion solution, which is also available on the desktop), but also perform tests on emulated Android terminals installed on your machine.

There are several, and we do not have an exhaustive list of the terminals supported by ATSMobilestation, in general, an access to adb is enough for us to support them.

For the demonstration, we will use an emulator provided by Google with the suite Android Studio

Install Android Studio and launch an emulator

By clicking on the previous link, you will be able to download and install Android Studio. There is no particular difficulty, just make sure that the installation of "Android Virtual Device" is taken into account.

At the end of the installation, launch Android Studio and select the menu  "Tools" and  "AVD Manager":

Click on "Create virtual device".

Then select a device type, the version of Android on which you want it to work and download the system image.
