Genymotion 2.0 "drag and drop" - genymotion

anyone tried this website to install Google play store and works?
http://blog.zeezonline.com/2013/11/install-google-play-on-genymotion-2-0/
The drag and drop doesn't work as it just shows a "no entry" sign whenever I try to drop an apk or zip file on the home-screen.
any solutions?

You can't drag and drop under windows if one application is started as administrator.
Start Genymotion without administrator and it will work.
More about that: http://www.eightforums.com/general-support/15434-drag-drop-problem.html

Open Oracle VM Virtual Box, right click on your device emulator and click on shared folders, and create a folder to share with the emulador. Check the auto mount option.
After this, reboot your emulator and try to use drag' and drop again.
That works for me.

You need to open Oracle VM Virtual Box that was installed with GenyMotion (or manually).
Select the emulator and go to "configuration -> Advanced" and check "enable drag and drop" or something like that.
Relaunch the emulator and drag n drop should be available !
Enjoy !

#superwayne you're right ...
You can't drag and drop under windows if one application is started as
administrator. Start Genymotion without administrator and it will
work.
But, In my Windows 10, (I do not know why), Genymotion always start as Administrator, then my solution was:
Run any explorer process as Administrator
Drag a file from that application, which is also run as administrator

This happens because you are using custom ANTROIDSTUDIO SDK.
So change this into Genymotion default Android tools
Open Genymotion Click Settings --> ADB
select default Genymotion Android tools

Drag'n'Drop feature is available since Genymotion 2.0.

I had the same problem. Try to update your Genymotion.

Bluestacks as Android emulator - error while running app

I want to use Bluestacks as android studio emulator, but when I try to run app I get this error:
com.android.ddmlib.SyncException: unknown command 'SEND' (444e4553)
Error while Installing APK
I tried adb kill and start server, reinstalling Bluestacks, but nothing helps
I had the same problem and solved it. I had trouble finding an up-to-date Q&A thread so I am glad you asked this question in 2019.
As of 2019, two meaningful changes have occurred that you need to look out for.
Bluestacks has now INTENTIONALLY BLOCKED adb connections out-of-the-box
Android Studio has introduced instant run feature, which may be kinda broken in different development setups
You should check issue 1 first before moving on to checking issue 2
Instructions for issue 1:
Open bluestacks. Find the actual settings for the bluestacks program itself, which is a gear symbol in the grey bar at the top. To do this, select the gear icon, the click "settings". click the preferences tab then make sure "Enable Android Debug Bridge (ADB)" is checked. This should be unchecked by default in newest version of bluestacks.
Instructions for issue 2:
Go to android studio. From the menu items at the top. Click File->Settings, which opens a dialog. Click the "Build, Execution, Deployment" item on the left. THis will expand and you will see "instant run" as a sub option. Click it, then make sure the "enable instant run" checkbox on the right is unchecked.
Finally, as some side pointers:
Always open bluestacks first before android studio. This avoids the need for any adb commands. If you for got this, then do the adb kill-server, adb start-server, but don't forget to run adb connect localhost:5555 after you have killed then started the adb server. Since the sdk/platform-tools is usally in a very strange appdata location, I recommend adding the sdk/platform-tools folder to your path.
I have not tested whether it is actually necessary to disable instant run, if you make sure adb is enabled on bluestacks. You may need to test this for yourself. However I do not know if instant-run is that beneficial so I jsut choose to not use it just in case.

Aptana crashes on Mac OS Sierra

Aptana studio used to work fine on OS X El Capitan but after updating to Sierra it doesn't work anymore... Can anybody help me fix this? I keep getting a crash log every time screenshot uploaded I open the app. Something I've noticed is that the aptana icon in the applications is a folder and not just a normal app icon. Earlier as I remember it was just a normal app icon on El Capitan. I use aptana on a daily basis as a university student so its vital for me for this to work.
Edit: I have tried a lot of methods including reinstalling java but still it doesn't work. Only way to make it work is to open up the application package and open the terminal executable aptana3. It runs perfectly then but if I launch from the usual app drawer icon it crashes.
This security measure can correct it from System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> General tab.
By default, Sierra, the option “Allow applications downloaded from does not appear Anywhere “. But with a simple instruction from the command line so we can correct.
Go to the folder Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
In Terminal, enter or copy…
sudo spctl --master-disable
Type your password (it will not appear, however it is present) and press Enter
Click the lock and enter your Administrator password to make changes.
After changing this option, and can install any software, so if compatible with OS 10.12.
Open finder and navigate to "Applications -> Aptana"
Right click on the Aptana executable and click show contents
Navigate to "Content -> MacOS"
Double click click on AptanaStudio3
You will get a popup saying you need legacy Java SE 6
Click "More Info..." button and download and install it (very slow download, just wait it out)
Once installed double click the AptanaStudio icon in step 4 and Aptana Studio 3 will open
You will need to use that as the shortcut as the Aptana icon from installation will still not work.
Good luck.
I have same problem and solved with some workaround.
First download and install java for mac: https://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1572/en_US/javaforosx.dmg
If this not work or you reinstalled aptana after upgrading to sierra I advice to find a old copy of aptana directory and put it to application directory.
I had the same problems on MacOS Sierra; crashing on load, or the JVM error if I launch from within the package contents.
I didn't find any solution to this directly, but instead I installed the latest version of Eclipse first, then installed Aptana from Eclipse. That seems to be working.
In order to use Aptan on El Capitan, first you must install the legacy java 6 version for mac:
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The only thing is that you won't be able to access it like a normal application on your mac.
To open Aptana you must run:
Applications -> Aptana(right click to "Show package contents") -> Contents -> MacOS -> AptanaStudio3

Issue setting up the development environment for ProjectTango developemnt Device

I have a Project Tango development Kit. I am interested in working on the depth data from the sensors.
I have ADB setup on my machine. But the Eclipse android emulator doesn't detect the Tango Development tablet.
Can anyone suggest me how to set things up for the device!.
Thank you in advance.
Please ensure that USB debugging is enabled in order to enter ADB, go to Settings > About tablet > Build number and then press Build number seven times. Then press back and go to Developer options > USB debugging.
Go to your device manager (if on Windows) and look for Android Composite ADB Interface (under Android Device).
I found the driver for this at http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Right click Android Composite ADB Interface, go to the driver tab, and click update driver. Then select Browse my computer for driver software and point it to the location where you extracted the usb driver package.
After doing this confirm that ADB can see your device by opening a command prompt, navigate your android sdk folder, and then go into a folder called platform-tools. Then run the command "adb.exe devices". If the tango is listed there then your drivers are correctly installed and adb can see the Tango.
I had the same issue on Windows 7 and it only saw the Tablet as a storage device. I had enabled developer options in the tablet as described above, but I had missed the step on turning on USB debugging. The moment I did that it appeared as a ADB device and I installed the Google USB driver and then I could see it and deploy onto it from Android Studio.
I previously had issues with the Peanut but if you followed the instructions for that EXACTLY it would work You have to specify the device driver file exactly,
not let windows chose one for you or let it tell you that its driver is better :-)
You need to update the driver in your device manager.
Click start
Right-click "Computer"
Select "Manage"
Select "Device Manager"
Find your device
Right-click "Update Driver Software"
Choose "Browse my computer"
Now search for the Android SDK you installed (on mine it is in c:\users\MyName\AppData\Local\Android\SDK) and select the sub folder Extras\Google\USBDriver

XCode 6.0 does not open on OS X 10.9.4

I just downloaded XCode_6_beta_6.dmg from the official apple website. However, when prompted to drag the installation to the application folder, it just unarchived the installation but does not install XCode_6_beta_6. When i try to open xcode_6_beta_6 from the applications folder, the new xcode6 beta icon just keeps popping in the application dock and does nothing. How do i overcome this situation so that the new xcode6 beta is installed on my machine?
For some weird reason, apple does not trust this installation and hence does not continue.
Please follow the below instructions to continue with the installation.
Open System Preferences
Open Security and Privacy
Unlock the settings screen if it is not already unlocked.
select "Anywhere" from the "Allow apps downloaded from:" section.
lock and close the preferences screen.
Your installation shall start in a moment!!
Also happened to me. Used Deepak's fix but had an additional strange problem where the Icon would still stay bouncing in the dock. Be patient & wait (for me it took a good 10 minutes!) for a dialogue box to eventually appear saying 'This is an application downloaded from the internet, do you want to open?' Obviously click 'Open'. Odd, considering it's Apple's own app.

Xcode Doesn't Recognize My Device After OS Upgrade

This has to be a simple configuration issue, but I don't know my way around the build settings very well.
I upgraded my iPad from 4.3 to 5.0. I am using Xcode 4.2. When I plug my device in, it is not showing up on run button, and I have a message that it can't run using the selected device.
What do I have to do?
Open Xcode, go to Window -> Organizer and find your device. Click the "Use for Development" button to get Xcode to recognise it again.
go to your iphone device, settings->Reset->Reset All Settings. Close Xcode, restart XCode, device should be in the list now.
Restarting USB process worked for me.
Run sudo pkill usbmuxd on terminal
or
Open Activity Monitor and select Disk by tapping from segment control and search usbmuxd, select the same and force quite/quite.
Note: before doing above stuff, remove device and quite Xcode.
