Hi, Just a small newbie question:
I understand, that the Android emulator is by definition and scope slower than an I-phone simulator. However: There are apps, which have to run on an emulator in order to emulate hte entire HW. However for a lot of algorithmic / GUI stuff a simulator would be more than enough. Is there any alternative to the emulator, which could be used for verifying the GUI / algorithmic part or the part, which just interacts with API's, that exist also on a PC? Basically is there something like a dalvik viewer for linux / windows ? thannks ina dvance for any pointers. This might help to accelerate development.
