Hi all, I'm planning on starting user testing on my app before I
release it on the market. The application is targeted to large
tablets. I don't have the resources to buy the hardware to give users
to test the app so I thought perhaps I could take advantage of Android-
x86.
There are different ways to install the app from the booted live,
however i would like to avoid this as almost all of my testers will
not be technically affluent to do this comfortably. Thus the best
option would seem to be to include the app with Android-x86.
I found out how to get the source code and build it into an image.
However, I can't find any tuts or information on how to include my
app's source with the live source.
Does anyone have any ideas? Any comments or suggestions would be
greatly appreciated!

What is your app supposed to do ?
As long as your app is not too strict, it should install fine even on
a live iso : I found out many apps that just install fine this way, so
it's a good exercice for you. ^^
We just need an apk that we could copy on an external SD Card or USB
stick.

If you just want to put a prebuilt apk to android-x86 image,
that's simple. Just put it to
build/target/board/generic_x86/app/ (for froyo-x86) or
device/common/app/ (for gingerbread-x86).

If you hope to build your app with android-x86,
that's another story. Basically speaking,
you need to create an Android.mk for your app.
See packages/apps/*/Android.mk as examples.

Great! That's exactly what I need. I just wanted to include a
prebuild .apk on the image.
Cheers!
