Issue
We are going to use an Android device with a built-in barcode scanner (not a consumer phone such as a Galaxy, etc.)* to run our in-development Android app. For the barcode scanning portion of the testing, I realize that I will need to attach directly to the device (will not be able to use an emulated device for that).
- Specifically (probably) the TC55
However, for those portions of testing the app that don't require usage of the barcode scanner (which I can thus test with an emulator), how should I set that up? IOW, what is the closest I can get to replicating that device via emulation?
The reason this is ambiguous is that from the AVD (Android Virtual Device) Manager, there are two options: With the "Android Virtual Devices" tab selected, the "New..." button shows this:
With the "Device Definitions" tab selected, the "New Device..." button shows this:
Am I better off basing my new virtual device on an existing virtual device (which I assume is what you can do with the former dialog) or creating a brand-spanking-new one (with the latter dialog)?
Solution
Both options are almost similar. You can notice that the device options you get from under the "Device definitions" tab are also listed under Device: drop down box after you do "Android Virtual devices-> New" .
Also notice the bottom line of the screen under "Device Definitions" . There are two icons informing which are generic definitions and which are custom ones. If you don't find any generic definitions closer to the real device you are targeting build a custom one as per the real device.
