I believe these emulators will unlock many new use cases of the Emporia Energy monitoring application. Most of these emulators have excellent graphic capabilities as they are intended to play Android games on desktop computers. We recommend you use Google’s emulator when you can, as it offers access to the latest Android OS images and Google Play services. There are also Android emulators available for the Mac & Linux platforms, but I didn’t used them. Note: After we released the Visual Studio Emulator for Android, Google updated their Android emulator to use hardware acceleration. These are the most promising ones for an easy installation on the Windows platform. There are also at least 2 other good free android emulators: NOX for Mac & Windows ( ) and MEmu for PC ( ). An interesting solution is to use an Android emulator for Windows such as BlueStacks ( ). The emulator industry saw a rapid boost when gamers. Running the Emporia Energy app on an Android emulator for Windows, Mac or LinuxĪs I had problems running the app for a while on my Android tablet, I needed an alternative to monitor my energy usage. This allows people to run Android games and apps on a much powerful system than just a regular smartphone.
