Ah I see. Well, mainly the reason is trying to understand the behavior of the framework. One task I was trying to do is capture a thumbnail of the currently running activity. According to the devguide, there is an activity method onCreateThumbnail() which gets called just before that activity is about to suspend (or call just before onPause()). However, for some reason, the onCreateThumbnail() is not getting called (I created an override method on my activity and set a breakpoint and verified its not getting called; similarly the thumbnail field in the activityInfo is set to null after the activity suspended). So I googled for the reason and one of the responses I found was because it was disabled in the framework. I think I'm able to locate where it was disabled, so just for my curiosity purposes, I tried to modify it so I can verify if it will now call onCreateThumbnail(). But this is where I got stuck because I have implemented my apk on Windows.
I guess I can load my apk onto the Ubuntu emulator that I just built; the problem is the built emulator on Ubuntu runs ridiculously slow on my box and I would like to step through it in my Eclipse on Windows. Ignoring the fact whether I can run my app on the phone and just interested in running it in the emulator, what are the steps to import the built framework binaries/libraries from Ubuntu onto my Windows SDK? Thanks again for your response and hope you can help out.
