Android emulator for Windows 7?

Recommended Posts

Anyone recommend a way to run Android apps on Win 7?

There seem to be a few about (like BlueStacks?) but I'm not sure which are safe to download and will allow simple games to run.

Cheers!

Whoever replies may also have the key to how you run iOS apps in OS X ?

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html contains the official Android emulator I believe but it looks to be mostly geared towards people making their own apps so you might need a bit of know-how to do what you want.

There is an iOS emulator that comes with XCode I believe but I'm not sure if you can run apps that you haven't created yourself with it. Android apps are just files with the extension .apk and I think can be loaded in the Android emulator without too much trouble but iOS apps I think are an apparently meaningless collection of files that aren't conveniently bundled together and aren't really designed to be handled outside of iTunes. But I don't have a Mac so I'm not entirely sure.

Sadly, I think you're right. I have a yen to play Plants versus Zombies 2, which comes in all flavours - iOS included - but not Mac. :(

Hm, I hadn't considered it before but I don't know how the emulator accepts touch - presumably with the mouse but it might be a bit of nuisance doing things that way.

I heard someone recently talking about an Android emulator - DroidX or something like that which apparently supports loading apps from your computer. The discussion concerned a Mac version but maybe there's a Windows version?
