So do I!
Do you know if you can use BlueStacks to run/test your B4A-Apps? I hate testing on the Emulator, it's so damn slow....
And also I don't want to test every little piece of code I write on my real device.

@ bembulak

Yes thats the reason i`m using it and yes found the emulator straight away, i installed compiled B4a apps and ran no problem although i havent done anything extensive as in testing

its only free whilst in beta stage etc

Zebuddi. :D

ps Ive also had posts back on the B4a forum saying that they have had trouble with it on xp (im using w7 x64 ultimate) with no problems. also was mentioned youwave http://youwave.com/ another android emulator. i have only given this a quick test, also trying toget a android for x86 ICS running in a virtual machine (VBOX) but there are some glitch's also having problems with internet connection.

Don't try it! It contains many ads and its hard to uninstall it (see http://youwave.com/forum/index.php?topic=120.0). Better use virtual box and android-x86 directly instead of youwave. It runs smoothly without any ads.
