Is Android 2.0 Bluetooth emulator turned on?

Question

I want to know if the Android 2.0 Bluetooth emulator is turned on. If it is not turned on, then how can I check the bluetooth application. Please, any body knows that this will help me.

Answer 1

No , you will need to buy a real device.

Answer 2

You can install the image from http://www.android-x86.org/ into a virtual machine (for example, VMWare), find out its IP address, connect manually using

adb connect <IP of VM> 

And then run your project from Eclipse, setting the “manual” deployment target in your Debug / Run configuration. Bluetooth works on this virtual machine, at least on my Macbook, and he said that it works with several other bluetooth chipsets.
