Add support for Visual Studio Android Emulator
See original GitHub issueSince there is already support for third party Android emulators (Genymotion) could you also add support for Microsoft’s one.
It is a viable option when developing on a Windows machine since it is a way snappier than the stock Android emulator and has functionallity which is available only in the paid version of Genymotion. Even if users do not have Visual Studio 2015 on their machines, they can install the emulator separately.
Currently the integration with {N} actually works out of the box - I tried the build
, run
and livesync
commands and they are fine.
What I would like to see is a command which starts the Visual Studio Emulator, something like
$ tns run android --emulator --vs DEVICE_NAME
Also running tns device
results in the following:
1: 'undefined' Android 169.254.190.187:5555
The device name should be displayed correctly and maybe an identifier to easily recognize this device as a Visual Studio Emulator.

@enchev I would like to have this working. With Windows 10 it is a very useful feature, especially if you use docker heavily. Think it could be re-opened but low priority?
tns run android --device 169.254.138.177:5555 and you get the device from:
adb devices enjoy!
