I'm setting up an Android device for flutter development and need to have a lightweight emulator. How do I connect bluestacks to flutter? Since the android studio is too slow for my machine and I only have an iPhone.
You can use sublime text as editor and for running your app.You can use command prompt (cmd) on windows and as an emulator, you can use Genymotion.It will fit for you if you need a light editor along with a good emulator that does not take too much RAM space.
I have tested it, and it was running perfectly. However, the problem were flutter packages for sublime text(coding helper).I couldn't find any packages for sublime text, only dart. You can update the question for further information.
I have recently shifted to android studio. I would like to know how I can test my apps in Bluestacks app player. I had already had the bluestacks connected and working with eclipse using adb connect localhost:5555 but it doesn't seem to work with android studio. Didn't find any help anywhere. If anyone has done this, please help.
first open bluestacks and go to settings > preferences > check the Enable Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and press Change path button, then select adb path. (default location: %LocalAppData%\Android\sdk\platform-tools)
These are all old answers, nothing works for me till I finally come out with a solution of my own.for a much later version (I'm using the 5.6x version, latest at the time of posting), just go to Settings in bluestack, click advanced, toggle on DB and run adb connect localhost:[port] with port being the number shown in the ADB information page (the one I underlined). Voila, you should automatically see another mobile device available on the Android Studio
As some of you recommended, I wanted to stream the camera on my desktop and was directed to an Android emulator. I tried LDPlayer4 and Bluestacks, both are free and can mirror the Tapo app So far, I am delighted with the performance as I can access the live feed and control the camera without my phone! I will post some screenshots here, so you can get an idea of both apps.
How secure are these. VLC player - much respected long lived prog has serious security flaw that allows a hacker simple acces to your entire net - google it. AFAIK VLC has been disabled from recent uprgrade because of this. that rtsp for you no encryption..
Hi @jon.zoom , I had said this is not a bug.
I want to know how Zoom app can config (in AndroidManifest.xml or somewhere) to let emulator (Bluestasts device) detect which graphics settings are required. So, if user who dont know to change to right settings, when run Zoom app, Bluestacts will prompt.
A follow up to using an android emulator: I decided to try the MEmu emulator on my Windows 11 PC. I tried various versions of Eufy app on MEmu. I found using the apk version of Eufy V4.7.0_1747 gives me a very fast and very complete Eufy experience that mimics exactly the android phone app of Eufy. I see live views with clear images and see all the events clearly. It works very well.
This emulator that will allow you run most of the apps locate on the android store on your windows host while still be able access your local. This does not require a dual boot configuration. Just install and configure.
I have the same problem, but one of my cameras works fine the other does not display (same errors as above).
What I have discovered is that the camera that works has not been updated to the latest firmware update.
( )
The one that fails has been updated twice.
I had the same problem with wzye on bluestacks 4 with hyper V. I could only see the recorded stuff. Once I enabled hardware decoding in the wyze account settings I was able to see the live stream. To do that in the Wyze app tap the Account button > App Settings > Enabled Hardware Decoder
i forgot to update my bluestacks 5 wyze app to the required update recently released. i have the latest update and firmware on my cell. it works fine on that. is there any way i can stiil update my bluestacks wyze app? cause its not connecting now without on bluestacks 5.
Hey @Erjola_Mema
I think automating bluestacks might be complex the ram will use the emulator there are chances the UiPath will crash it is not optimal to do this with bluestack but smart of you to think like this.
By using the actvities available in the above mentioned package you can able to get verification code & can able to use it where it is required. By suing this you can able to automate without Blue stacks in PC
Thanks for the reply ,
I have a verification code with a text message in the phone number.
But I was another test
I download the message text app ,and try to spy it with the UiPath activities and it seems okay.
Hello, Anyone is playing Infinite Flight with Bluestacks emulator? I just want to know if Infinite Flight is working probably on BlueStakcs. If it is working, I will buy infinite flight from Play Store.
Hi. Brand new to FlowX. I installed FlowX on my computer using MuMu Player which is an android emulator like Bluestacks. FlowX works ok but have not found a way of zooming or moving the map around. Also the graph takes up half the screen. screenshot :: Was wondering if there is a way of zooming without touch and altering the graph/map layout.
No you just need to start your emulators and Katalon Studio will detect them like the real device. There are no extra configurations needed besides the configuration guide in our official documentations
HI I would like some thoughts on bluestacks.com I would like to try out the emulator and see if I can play games on my laptop. I would really like to play wheel of fortune on bluestacks if I can but I have never used bluestacks emulator to play games on my windows 11 laptop before. So I was just looking for some options on if it is a good idea to use bluestacks to connect to my google account and get games from the google store to download games to bluestacks. I was just wanting to now if this is a safe thing to do since I have never download an emulator before to play android games on my windows pc. I have never owned an android phone I have heard of android phones though. I was just curious what people have to say about downloading bluestacks emulator and downloading games from the google play store is it a good idea to do this on a windows 11 laptop. Thanks. waiting for information and Answers.
I can run bluestacks emulator fine, but for some games which require dodging, it would be easier if I had more time to think. That said, is there a feature that allows me to explicitly reduce the fps or make it slow motion?
Games are typically designed with a minimum performance requirement so they can run the physics and graphics engines for their content. The games are play tested at a standard frame rate (most likely 30 or 60 fps on Android) and would only have "easy modes" like "slow-mo" or "bullet time" modes if designed from the start.
While there are various articles online on how to make Bluestacks NOT lag and you could do the inverse, I doubt it would be fun experience. Reaction time games are just that, reaction time games. Given that most are designed by a younger generation, all I can suggest is to provide feedback to those developers to provide some accessibility options which may/may not make sense for any particular game.
Bluestacks is an emulator. Bluestacks probably is not able to store data from the app to the PC. Bluestacks has no internal storage in itself as far as I can determine so there is no place you can send a file using the File control.
Hello, good day to anyone reading this.
I have made an app that reads information from a file thats being written by a Python code.
The python code extracts information from Google Calendar and then writes certain things to a regular txt file.
Now to run the Mit App i need an emulator for it to run on my laptop, but here comes the problem.
I can edit wthe file with Python no problem there BUT i do not know how I can make the app read that specific path to the file. I know where its located, i have found the sdCard folder but whenever i go into bluestacks i cannot find it when i check the internal memory. All i need is for the app to read an external file, thats located in bluestacks named 'test_text.txt' there is a shared folder with windows and in there i can see and edit the file in question. I just need the path to that file for the appmaker.
This is what it all looks like in the blocks

This is the bluestacks file location

Iv looked everywhere on the forum and internet, cant find anything.
All i want is for the MIT app to read from the sharedfolder file in bluestacks from windows.
I use the regular file block to READ from an external file of the app itself.
There is a shared folder within bluestacks, in that folder is a txt file that i want to READ in the app.
How do you find that path to put into the app?
Everything i tried says that said directory doesnt exist

The app does what it needs to do, i just need to be able to read from a more specfic file, then /thisfile
but everytime i try a path that should lead to the shared folder it says that the file couldnt be created, i assume this is because the path is incorrect. When i do just /testfile it works just fine but i cannot find the path to the normal sd card interface for python
image1709868 97.9 KB
the last file you see n this list is the file that the app reads and edits.
I need that file path for python OR i need to be able to read from the shared folder in this menu
The txt file is the file i imported to bluestacks SD storage so i could test it. The file i NEED to use is located in the shared folder of windows and bluestacks and is accesible through both. The file is already there by default and is deleted when i press button 1 and immediately recreated because i need that file empty.
