Hello everyone,
I am new to Eclipse. I am trying to learn it step by step. I am trying to create an ArcGIS app for Android using "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers". I followed this tutorial , and noticed this sentence: "Be sure to have an Android device connected to the machine. We do not support running in an Emulator."
My question is >>> How can I test my app? Is what have been mentioned is true?! I think that this tutorial is old because they are talking about old SDK version.
I thought about using the Eclipse's Emulator, and I tried it, but the app didn't work properly!! I am confused right now; because I don't know whether the problem is that:
1) ArcGIS apps don't work on Emulator!
2) or My code is wrong!
Thanks.
With the release of API v. 1.1 Emulators are now supported. See this blog post:

Yes, the emulator is supported with the current v2.0 API. The documentation will be updated to reflect the fact that you can either setup an emulator or use a physical device. Thanks for pointing out the error in the documentation.
