Android Emulator Setup - KSU-CS-Software-Engineering/VetMedSim GitHub Wiki

This page outlines the setup required for emulating an Android device to debug the VetMedSim Project. It will detail what emulator and operating system(s) will be used.

Android Studio

Our preferred emulator to debug the Android version of the game is Android Studio.

Installation

In order to emulate Android device using Android Studio we need to ensure that Android virtual device is also included with our install.

Note: Android studio may have an initial update pending upon the first opening the software.

Next open configure > SDK-Manager a new window will open. From in that window Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK. In Android SDK navigate to the SDK Tools tab and make sure that Android SDK Build-Tools is installed.

back in the SDK Platforms tab we can choose any of the devices we would like to emulate as long as the android operating system is 2 or higher.

After installing our new Android device we can go back to the welcome page and this time open configure > AVD manager and create a new virtual device. Select which operating system you would like (I try to use the top recommended) and finish creating the virtual device leaving the rest of the fields set to the default.

When the phone finishes the initial setup navigate to the Play Store then sign into or create a google play account and download Unity Remote 5.

Next we will setup Unity. go into Edit > Project Settings > Editor > Unity Remote > Device and set it to any android device.

Finally have Unity Remote open on the phone, and test the project in unity, and after a few seconds you should get full control on the phone.
