Re: [android-developers] Re: Regarding emulator

People have given you several suggestions already. What is wrong with the suggestions offered so far? Have you even tried them?

Unfortunately, the definition of software piracy has nothing to do with whether it is free or not:

And that link references you to "software theft," which says this:
"Unauthorised duplication and/or use of computer software."

Here is the dictionary.com link on Software Theft if you are interested in the full description:

Feel free to justify your actions however you want... doesn't change the facts.

This is called "software piracy".

 

Certainly not.  If the program is free, piracy is irrelevant here.

If the app is paid and for example use LVL for the license check, it will
not work on the emulator unless the user install Google Play on the emulator and setup
his authorized Google Account  (if he bought it). Otherwise the check will fail.

 if the app use any other scheme for license verification, it still has to pass for the program to run.

If as developer you do not want your app to run in the emulator, it is not very difficult to add an emulator check on startup.
