Hi I want to test my site locally on my Mac using the android device layout . The usual android sdk takes more time to load . Is there any app similar to opera mobile emulator which provides android device layout plus testing on local instance?
I want something like this
I think this is samsung emulator for android, and for installing the samsung emulator on my local mac mini I didn't find any appropriate tutorial. Has anybody ever implemented this thing?
Assuming the app uses HTTP(S) to download its file, use mitmproxy. It alows you to follow live all the GET requests done by the app, even when it uses https. It requires Python.
Instructions on how to use (from the guy who nabbed Path's addressbook upload):
It appears to be, as you suspected, the Android emulator that is causing the issue. Some users have filed an issue on Google Code. If you scroll down past all of the "Me Too's," you'll actually find useful information; there appears to be a workaround involving /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini for some.
I increased the heap space used by Eclipse, and haven't experienced this problem since.
In eclipse.ini I used the following values:
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize256m -Xms256m -Xmx1024m
The same issue has a duplicate. In this thread, they mentioned a slightly different method where they added -vmargs between --launcher.XXMaxPermSize256m and -Xms256m
And I assume you've installed Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager, as this is a requirement for the Android Emulator. However, in the comments, people note that it doesn't work with Mountain Lion and they had to disable it for Android Emulator to work.
For your question about the number of installs Lion from the App Store will give you, this is directly from Apple's EULA (emphasis added):
(i) to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control;
So, assuming that this is for personal, non-commercial use, Apple lets you install Lion as many times as you like on the Macs that you own or control.

You could try different ways of speeding up the Android emulator, such as running an x86 guest, and installing Intel HAXM.
If the graphics is slow, you can also try installing an "accelerated" emulator like GenyMotion, which seems to paravirtualize graphics APIs.
