I have installed Visual Studio Android Emulator in Dell tablet Venue 8 pro 5855. The OS is Windows 10 pro and came with built-in NFC. But I did not see any NFC settings in the additional tools.
Is NFC supported in Visual Studio Android Emulator?
Looking for some inputs. Thanks in advance!
This is the screenshot of the emulator's additional tools
You need to have:
1- The open NFC (sdk addon)
2-The Open NFC core (last version is 4.5.2)
you can download from here

Appium: Visual Studio Android Emulator: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/features/msft-android-emulator-vs.aspx
I am looking to use appium for mobile testing using C#. I had a look into below articles and followed the mentioned steps.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ganesh/2016/03/13/browser-appium-visualstudio/
When I reached the point to download visual studio emulator I received the below error.

So does it mean I can't install emulator in Win 7 PC? and can't use Appium with C# for mobile testing in win 7?
Kindly check System Requirements for the Visual Studio Emulator for Android.
It says that you must have win 8 or higher in order to install this + 6GB of Ram and should be of 64 bit OS.
Please upgrade your PC and install again. It should solve the issue.
I'm trying to setup for Xamarin development, but can't find Visual Studio Emulator for Android and Windows 10 Mobile Emulator (Creators Update) under Individual Components ( those items in red in the screenshot below). All I can see the first 2 under the Emulators list Google Android Emulator(API Level 23) and Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM).
My computer specs:
8GB RAM
64-bit Windows 10 Home
Note*: the screenshot is from the instructions that I found online, not from my computer.

The Visual Studio Emulator for Android is using Hyper-V which requires Windows 10 Pro. But you can use the Google Android emulator which is using the mentioned Intel HAXM.
I tried to modify my VS enterprise 2017 15.2 (26430.13) and checked the Individual components – Emulators, the options are the same as yours, please check this following screenshot. The photo you shared is a previous VS 2017 version and looks different with the latest version, you should not follow it.
Since your OS is windows 10 Home version, you need to upgrade to the professional version, please refer to this: System Requirements for the Visual Studio Emulator for Android and it requires the 64-bit version of the Pro edition of Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 or higher to use the VS Emulator for Android.
I have installed Visual studio 2015 Community edition and wanted to try Xamarin for Android/iOS development. Default installation for VS doesnt show me any installed emulator with visual studio.
I am new to mobile development and not sure which emulator to install. There are options like Visual studio Android Emulator for 2015. But it wont work on my Windows 10 home edition.
Please suggest.
As Toby suggested below. I used Xamarin Player. It is not straight forward process though. I did following steps if some one is interested.
1) Installed Xamarin Android Player.
2) Had Oracle VM Box manager installed previously as part of Android SDK(I think).
3) After installing Xamarin Android Player, It prompted for the device I wanted to use. I selected Nexus 5 KitKat. After downloading required files. I tried to run the device. Got another error!! Saying 'Xamarin Fail to initialize device'.
3) I opened Oracle VM and selected the device. Clicked on Settings > System > Base memory. Reduced base memory to 1024 MB. Saved the changes.
4) Opened Xamarin Studio and re-ran the device.
Success!!!
5) Came back to Visual Studio. It started to show me the device in Visual Studio. Ran the solution and Voila! App is indeed in visual studio.
That is correct. Visual Studio Emulator for Android works only with the Pro version or higher of the operating systems Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Instead of the Visual Studio Emulator for Android, you can test your Android application with the Android Player from Xamarin. The Xamarin Android Player works official with all version of Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. I use the Xamarin Android Player with Windows 10 without issues. Alternative you can use the Android Emulator from the SDK.
What do I need to install so that I can develop applications for Windows Mobile 6.5.3 devices, using Visual Studio 2008?
Since it took me like 3 days of research to figure out how to actually do this I'm creating this article to hopefully ease some others pain.
Firstly, have Visual Studio 2008 installed. Secondly, install these add on pieces:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Software Development Kits Refresh

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c0213f68-2e01-4e5c-a8b2-35e081dcf1ca&displaylang=en
You may not need to install all of these but I did and it won't hurt anything most likely. nextly
Open Visual Studio 2008 and create a new project for Smart Device click ok
Select Device Application on the main window with the icons and change the target platform to Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK. Click OK.
Right click on the the Project Name in the solution explorer and select Change Target Platform and choose Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional SDK. Click Ok.
The project will need to be closed and reopened.
That simple!
For Windows 10 (and probably some earlier versions) I think Andrew's answer is missing something important. It also includes some packages that shouldn't be needed for strictly 6.5.3 development. For reference, if you attempt to install the 6.5.3 DTK and missing anything, it should tell you.
At a minimum, you should only need the following:
VS 2008 Professional
Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK Refresh https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6135
Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional DTK https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5389
Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver

I had a link that had some great information regarding the new developer tools for Windows 7 phone, but I lost it! :(
Where can I download the appropriate tools? Is there an emulator that simulates the phone on my laptop so I can do short tech demos for my study group?
Thank you.
everything you need is FREE and available here:
http://developer.windowsphone.com/Default.aspx
Basically it's Visual Studio Express for Windows phone and Expression Blend Express for Windows phone. There's a 3.5Mb bootstrapper that will download everythingh you need.
The tools you need are still in beta. You can get them from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c8496c2a-54d9-4b11-9491-a1bfaf32f2e3&displaylang=en . They work with whatever version of Visual Studio you have (Express right up to ultimate.) I just blogged some links to resources to help you get started: http://www.gregcons.com/KateBlog/SomeWindowsPhone7Resources.aspx.
You need to get the latest Visual Studio.
You can get it for free if you're a student from DreamSpark.
There's an add-on for Windows 7 phone to get to the marketplace

The Beta version of Windows Phone 7 will install Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone and well as Expression Studio for Windows Phone too. These are free as well.
