[android-developers] Re: In ADT: Best Set of Emulator Devices to Cover Most Actuals?

FYI, that wouldn't cover anything really.. the emulator can emulate resolution differences and different hardware specifications (as in, memory size and availability of features) but it does nothing to actually verify that the app works on the device. You can try and match the AVD as closely as possible to a device, but it will no guarantee the app will run as it should on it (especially if the app has anything to do with audio/video/VOIP).

There's no alternative to testing on actual devices.

Hello, Forum;

In setting up my emulator devices in ADT, what array of device specs should I target in order to best cover the broadest range of real-life devices? Let's say I want to set up six virtuals to cover the broadest range of actuals. What six would you choose?

I found this article, but it's outdated (2010).

Any advice and/or direction to a more current source of this information would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Cayce
