However, friends can not afford to buy mobile phones and tablets, you can use the Android emulator, all Android system operation simulation, you can experience the fun of Android.
Set the environment variables of the computer system. Click the right mouse button on the desktop [My Computer] and select the [Properties] menu, which opens the System Properties dialog box.
In the [Advanced] tab, click the [Environment Variable] button to call the dialog box for the environment variable. In the system variable, create a new system variable: variable name: JAVA_HOME variable value: C: \\ Program Files \\ Java \\ jdk1.6.0_10 also create a new system variable: (note the symbol) variable name: classpath variable value: .; JAVA_HOME%\\lib; Another environment variable Path is already available by default. Select it and click the [Edit] button to edit it. In the variable value, add the value C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_10\\bin in front of the original one; download and install java JDK 1.6. The file is downloaded as follows: Then install it and it's very simple, just step by step to install it. Install the latest sdk simulator. Download and unzip, do not need to install, put directly to a disk with a large available space, because there are a lot of things to install. For example, I put it on the D drive after decompression.
Open this folder and run the program inside: SDK Setup.exe. After running this program, several windows will open, don't worry about it. The program automatically connects to the google server to check for available packages, which takes tens of seconds to a few minutes, please wait. Download and install the Android version of the emulator. If you see an error message about SSL, click the [Settings] tab (on the left side of the SDK and AVD Manager window). Then remove the checkmark in front of Force https://…… and click OK. Then re-select the [installed packages] tab on the left. The ones listed on the left are the simulation programs for the various system versions of Android. I have downloaded a lot here, so there are many. If you don't have as many words as you have, or if you don't have the version you want, click the [update all] button to upgrade. I have almost downloaded all of them here, so all are green hooks. If it is a question mark, don't worry about it, select [Accept All] on the right and click the [Install] button, it will be downloaded and installed automatically. This process is a bit long and takes tens of minutes or even dozens of hours, depending on your network speed and the number of downloads. After downloading for a while, don't want to download it, you can click [Cancel] to cancel the download and installation, then click [Close] to close the download and installation window. Go back to the [installed packages] tab and see which versions you have installed. For example, I installed 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.1, 2.3.3, and 3.0 versions, except for version 3.0, which is a simulated Android tablet. Outside the system, the other lower versions are simulated Android phone systems. Create a setup simulator. Click the [Virtual Devices] tab on the left. Here to create and set up the simulator. Multiple simulators can be created. It is also possible to edit and delete it.
To demonstrate creating a simulator, first click on the [NEW] button on the right, create a new emulator, and set the parameters as follows. Enter the name of your emulator in Name, preferably in English or numbers. Select the version of Android in Target, which versions you downloaded, and which versions you can choose here. Set the size of the SD card in the Size, the SD card is equivalent to the memory card inserted in the phone, you can put various files and programs into it, it is an image file, such as the 1G set here, that is 1024M. In the Built-in select the screen size of the simulator, you should choose the first option, which is the default option with Default. Finally, click the [Create AVD] button at the bottom to complete the creation of the simulator, because the name I entered here is incorrect, so I can't click. Run the simulator. Take android2.2 as an example. Select the simulator you created and click [Start] to run it. For example, I am here to run version 2.2. In the pop-up window, just click [Launch] just fine. Wait a few seconds, the emulator pops up, and two waiting screens appear one after another, which may take a few minutes, especially when you first enter the simulator. Wait a while, Android home screen appears! You can use the mouse to operate, such as drag and unlock, you need to pay attention to the fact that you do not need to double-click to open the application. The analog keyboard on the left can be operated with a mouse click, and typing can also be performed using the keyboard of the computer. Set the language of the operator interface (English is particularly good can be omitted). Since the default is the English interface, we first change the language setting for convenience, first drag and unlock. Open the main menu, enter the [Settings] menu, operate like a mobile phone, drag the screen online, select the [Language & Keyboard] menu: select the top menu [Select Language] ], set the language. Similarly, drag the screen online, know that the option of [Chinese (Simplified)] appears at the end, and then select it. Your “Mobile” has become the Chinese interface. Maybe the main menu has not yet become Chinese. Next time. Start up in Chinese. You can click on the icon on the right side of the analog keyboard to indicate the return to the main screen. After the operation, everyone is very familiar with it. You can make other settings. You can use the browser to go online and download files and software. You can manage the desktop and so on. Just open the browser and jump to the Google Search (China website) homepage, which is the browser's default homepage, which can be used to enter the URL and search for network access. Go online without any setup. You can go online to download the software! Just like using an Android phone, you can try it out. You can download and use QQ: the same background can run the program, just like the mobile phone. The 3.0 system works the same as the tablet: Note that this version does not have a separate analog keyboard. You can use a computer keyboard when typing. Install the software for the simulator. In addition to the ability to download software installations using the emulator, you can also use the special APK installer to install the software. This tool can install programs for Android phones connected to your computer, or you can install programs for the emulator. Go to download first, it is a green software, you can open it directly. After opening, click on the [Refresh Device List] on the right, and an emulator will appear above it, select it. Click the [Select APK File] button above, select the APK program file you downloaded, and click [Start Installation]. Some install faster, some are slightly slower. Manage SD cards. Before setting up the SD card, this SD card is virtual, use the CD image file, the size is set before, I set the 1024M here, remember? Its location is here on the computer: C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\.android\\avd\\luthui.avd\\sdcard.imgAdministrator is the username of your computer. If it is not this username, please change it. Luthui.avd is the AVD name of the emulator you created, please change it to your own. Find the sdcard.img file and read and write files at will. You need to use the CD image file creation/editing/conversion tool to manage the files. I usually use the ultraiso tool. After opening this tool, open the above CD image file sdcard.img and manage it. By copying files and programs from your computer, you can delete, move, and create files and folders. After the document is finished, save it and close it. And when saving, you need to close the simulator first. If you can't view the SD card or emulator files, you can download and install a file manager by surfing the Internet. For example, I use the dual file manager Dual File Manager. You can open the webpage, search and download from your mobile browser, or you can find it on your computer's browser and download it. Open the file manager and manage the files for your emulator and SD card. I copied a lot of files and software into the image file, so I can install it in this file manager. The above is the step of installing the Android emulator on the computer, which may be complicated in the program, but the detailed installation procedure has been done for those white users. I believe that you can easily get it with your daily knowledge. After installation, you can experience all Android programs.
