Genymotion plugin for Android Studio

Yes — you can test your app by starting a Genymotion virtual device from Android Studio, then deploying the app to it over ADB. The plugin lets Android Studio connect to the running virtual device and push your build for testing.

To do it: 1. Install the Genymotion plugin from the Android Studio Marketplace. 2. Make sure Genymotion Desktop uses the same ADB as Android Studio. See and the linked ADB setup. 3. Open the plugin in Android Studio and point it to your Genymotion Desktop installation. 4. In Genymotion Device Manager, create or start a virtual device. 5. Back in your app project, use Android Studio’s device chooser to select that Genymotion device and run the app.

The plugin also shows errors in the Android Studio console while it is open. If you want, I can also outline the exact setup for Android Studio on your OS.
