Install Facebook APK in Microsoft Android Emulator - facebook

I am using the Microsoft Android emulator that comes with Visual Studio 2015. It works great overall but I cannot find a Facebook APK that works on it. Has anyone solved this problem?
Any advice appreciated.

One way to do this is to get the Google Play Store on the emulator then download the Facebook APK from Google Play. To do that, you might try this: http://codesmells.net/2015/07/27/installing-the-google-play-store-in-the-microsoft-visual-studio-android-emulator/

Android emulator launch in tool window - crash

help.
I did not find such a question on the forum, so I'm the only one with such a problem.
When i use Android Emulator in tool windows it crash.
But in a individual window, everything works fine.
I do not know why. Installed by official guide.
Download Flutter.
Add Flutter path to variables.
Download Android Studio and install.
Install Flutter plugin.
Create emulator. Done.
What i missed?
I tried to use old Android Studio 4.1.3 (I worked on it a few years ago and everything worked correctly). The same problem.
Also I tried downgrade the emulator from 31.2.9 to 30.3.5. Did not help
I recorded video.

Showing the emulator

I want to learn and script Flutter and I installed the vscode and also extensions of Flutter. But I do not know the continuation of the process of installing such as showing the emulator and stuff.
How to solve this problem?
For Android setup, you need to install Android Studio and its plugins about Dart and Flutter, and for iOS setup, install Xcode too. And then you can start an emulator or a simulator. For more info, read the official document.

Does eclipse still work for android development.?

Here you can find the SDK tools package.

Geo fence in Visual Studio Android Emulator

I am trying to see, if anyone was able to run Geo fence on visual studio android emulator. When I try to add a geo fence, it gives me a 1000 status code. I have played around with all the location settings option in the emulator with not much luck. However, maps and other location tracking is working fine.
I have tried this code on android sdk emulator and device and it works fine there.
Looking for some inputs. Thanks in advance!
If you are relying on the geofencing API from Google Play Services, then this doesn't work because the VS Emulator for Android doesn't include the Google Play libraries out of box. The same workarounds for installing Google Play Services on other emulators (eg. Xamarin Player) may work on the VS Emulator for Android too.
I had a similar problem, but on Android Studio Emulator. Not sure if this will work for you, but just in case:
I solved it going to "Google Settings" > Location > Mode
And changing it from "Device only" to "High Accuracy".
This way my app finally worked.
Hope it helps.

Appcelerator Titanium: Android SDK doesn't load

I started developing with Titanium and now I really stuck on one part.
I downloaded the Adroid SDK and added the path to Titanium:
/Users/michael/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_86/
I can open e.g. Kitchen Sink in the iPhone Simulator without problems, but when I want to open it in Android then my screen looks like this: Screenshot
Why is down there all the time, even after 2 hours of waiting, the label "loading..." ?
some great advice given here - helped me out.
Switching to TRACE will probably show that Android SDK Platform 1.6 and API 4 is missing.
More info here
1) You can install Android SDK 1.6 (run tools/android from your Android SDK folder and download the older SDK 1.6 from the Google Repository),
and Titanium will detect Android SDK
2) As for Android SDK 2.2, adb moved to platform-tools folder, so you will have to create a link in [your-android-sdk-folder]/tools e.g. :
ln -s ../platform-tools/adb
(full instructions for non-linux here : http://guides.appcelerator.com/en/getting_started.html)
Finally, in the Titanium Test&Package/Run emulator window, you will have the choice between Android SDK 1.6 and 2.2
Try to open your Android_SDK_Dir/tools, run file android to create a new Android Virtual Device. After that, open your Titanium again. Maybe this will solve your issue.
Take a look at your image. Value of SDK listbox is "...loading...". This means you Titanium cannot determine which Android Virtual Device is. So, as I said, try to create new Android Virtual Device first.
having the same issue - have you found a workaround?
found out that after downloading the android sdk - there are other components to be downloaded, which is different from previous versions. Also found some implication that loading the android emulator prior to launching the app from titanium may yield better results.
check the android docs for updating the sdk via the avd manager
load the emulator first video:

Try setting the Filter from "Info" to "Trace" that may illuminate things.
Most commonly, you may not have the right platforms installed. Just install all of them if that's the case.
add a blank folder android-7 in android/platforms ..n restart titanium ..it worked for me on ubuntu
