Android emulator as push device

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

Looks to me you can't use the emulator because it doesn't have a device id ; is that right ??? Or is there a way around using ddms ?

Hi John,

are you talking about ACS push notification?
You can use the Android emulator as a push device (you don't need the device id, but just the App ID).

You can't receive push notifications on iOS simulator.

  • You can also receive push notifications to the Android emulator.

To test your push notifications you'll actually have to install the app to a device to test it out.
