Android Apps Now on Your Desktop!

What was the preserve of mobile phones is now available only the desktop as well. Think this would require much work? No. It is actually pretty simple. You need not have a browser app for everything as you might well encounter a newly tested app as well. This article takes a look at emulators that help you do the job easily and without hassles.


Android Studio

If you are one of those who yearn for the complete Android experience on your desktop, then you have just found what you were looking for. Android studio (previously Android emulator) is the nearest thing to THE complete Android experience on your desktop. All you need is the Java development kit to be installed on your desktop and Android studio allows you to download a ROM with which you can boot your Android device and install and run apps on Google play. That’s as easy as it gets.



BlueStacks App Player

Perhaps the most effective way to run Android apps on your computer without worrying about installing a full emulated environment is to deploy the BlueStacks App Player. Available for Windows XP or later and Mac OS X, this is a great way to get apps up and running with minimal fuss.

Many apps, from games to things like WhatsApp can run on your PC with BlueStacks. Probably the only real issue with this app is that it doesn’t play well with Windows 8 computers


Windroy

BlueStacks isn’t the only Android app playing emulator around. A popular alternative, Windroy is a Windows-only emulator that can run in full screen and windowed mode and accept input from a mouse and keyboard.


As there is no access to Google Play with Windroy, you’ll need to enable apps to be installed from unknown sources, but as you’re playing around with Android then you’re probably familiar with this. If BlueStacks wasn't what you were looking for, then Windroy might be the answer to your dreams of running your favourite Android apps on your desktop computer.
