- Customizing emulator settings:
- Adjusting location (e.g., setting GPS to Singapore).
- Modifying cellular network type (GSM, LTE) and signal strength.
- Changing battery level, configuring camera settings, and managing phone functions (SMS, calls).
- Controlling virtual sensors such as the accelerometer and gyroscope.
- Saving snapshots, recording emulator screens, and enabling clipboard sharing between Windows and the emulator.
- Installing and testing APKs using ADB:
- Downloading an APK (e.g., WhatsApp Messenger) and launching the desired emulator.
- Using Android Debug Bridge (ADB) for remote device control and configuration:
- Checking connected devices with adb devices.
- Installing the APK via adb -s [emulator-name] install [apk-name].
- Confirming success via the “success” response message.
- Locating and launching the installed app from Apps & Notifications within the emulator.
