How can Genymotion be used directly in the web emulator?
How to use an emulator directly on the web?
Genymotion offers the Genymotion Cloud, which allows you to access virtual Android devices directly from your browser, without the need to install additional plugins. Here's how to get started:
1. Access Genymotion Cloud
- Visit the Genymotion SaaS login page (https://genymotion.com/cloud).
- Select Login or Sign up to create an account.
2. Choose a plan
- The platform offers free trial plans and paid plans for continuous use.
- Select the plan that best suits your needs (e.g. Starter, Professional, etc.).
3. Create a virtual device
- In the dashboard, click on Create New Device.
- Choose the Android model (e.g. Android 16 ā Genymotion Phone) and desired configuration.
- Click on Start to launch the emulator.
4. Use the emulator in your browser
- The emulator will open in a new tab of your browser, displaying the Android interface.
- You can interact with it as if it were a physical device: touch, type, use sensors, etc.
- ADB access is also available, allowing for debugging and automation.
5. Integration with CI/CD tools
- Genymotion Cloud offers API and integration with popular frameworks (Detox, Bitrise, CircleCI).
- This makes it easier to run automated tests in parallel.
6. Scalability
- It is possible to start multiple emulators simultaneously, ideal for batch testing or sharding of tests.
š§ Practical tip: If you use AWS, GCP or Azure, you can take advantage of the Genymotion for Cloud Providers offers and launch devices directly in the marketplaces of these clouds, maintaining the same web experience.
