Android apps on windows

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 09:35 AM PST


At times you feel like testing your apps on windows before installing it to your phone because sometimes it occupies unnecessary space on your phone or some of you might like running your android apps on a larger screen ie your PC.

For that we have a software named BlueStacks, It is an app player on windows which run the apps much faster than it runs on your phone and that too on a larger screen. It includes 10 apps by default and the user can  add upto 26 more of their choice from the app store. You can transfer apps on windows from your phone via internet route or you can even download apps through the software's website itself. The software is just a virtual android operating system simulating android phone or UI. The folder in which the software is installed contains the necessary files such such as kernel, system, boot etc. The android version it uses is gingerbread 2.3.


It creates a hardware environment which has a limited capacity of 363 MB for apps and around 262 MB of storage card space. The software is available for free presently and you can easily download and install it. After installing it you'll see an icon in the system tray area. Clicking on it, you'll see a list of the apps preloaded in it. You can install the other apps from the BlueStack website with signing in there with your Facebook account.



For installing more apps, go to the BlueStack widget and click on 'Get more apps'. A page will be opened where after entering your details you can click on 'Subscribe'. The 'Cloud Connect' link on the same page  will provide a 9-pin numeric code which you'll have to enter in the android phone running the BlueStack cloud connect app(Can be downloaded from the android app store for free). After that you can simply sinc your phone and PC and enjoy the android apps on your computer.

Note- A few apps might not work on it due to incompatibility of the hardware.

We hope you liked it, for any queries simply drop in your questions in the comment section below.
