How to test android app for Chromebook compatibility without having Chromebook hardware?


Google announced android apps support in Chrome OS on Chromebooks. Is it possible to test my android app on Chromebook without having Chromebook hardware? Any emulator or VirtualBox image, etc?


Solution

  • To run our app on a virtual Chrome OS device we have followed the following steps in Android Studio:

    1. Install Chrome OS SDK add-ons for Android Studio

    2. Create an AVD using the AVD Manager

      From tablet category select Pixelbook (beta) hardware. The default RAM size for an AVD is 1536 MB. I recommend increasing the RAM for the AVD to 2048 MB.
