There are several emulators that successfully process apk Unity. All of them apk must be saved and manually uploaded. But it was not possible to find more than one that works with the command Build and Run, just as a connected android device.

Is there something like that? The nox app player has integration with Android Studio, but with a unit with the same settings it does not work.

Share your experience, is it possible in one click to run through the application emulator directly from Unity.

    For the Unity and simultaneous test on the android there is such a thing as Unity Remote 4 .

    Unity Remote 4 is a program that helps to implement remote control to the project in the Unity Editor.

    Usually this application is downloaded on the android (via google play for example), and you must also check the Android Debugging option in the Debugging settings (enable the Android Debug bridge "adb" intefrace) .

    We must not forget to connect the phone to the computer (or what is the development).

    When you start the application, you will see the following image:

    enter image description here

    In Unity, you need to switch to the Android platform. And also in the settings

    Edit → Project Settings → Editor in the Unity Remote → Device item, select Any Android Device

    enter image description here

    After that, if you click Play - the game should start in the editor and on the phone too

    If there is no phone, then this chip can only roll with the android emulator installed via AVD Manager.exe. Moreover, the CPU / ABI setting must be ARM armeabi . If the value is Intel x86 will not work.

    Sample settings for AVD:

    enter image description here

    After installing the emulator, you need to install Unity Remote 4 from apk into the emulator using the command: adb.exe install adb.exe install path/to/apk (Windows) or adb install path/to/apk (Linux / Mac).

    Everything else is the same as when working with the phone - to make settings in Unity and so on. After all installations, it is desirable to restart Unity!

    • That’s the question that an emulator is needed. It’s a pity for usb to pull the usb connector all the time. But through AVD I will try, thanks. He just is not very fast, are there alternatives that work for Unity? - Dmitrii

      @Dmitrii У телефона разъем usb жалко всё время туда-сюда дёргать. - why pull it back and forth? it is enough to connect and work once. And only after finishing the work, didn’t I take out the cord ......... I did not observe any alternatives yet. for the best emulators are nox and blue stacks, however they don’t want to work through the remote at all ........ so if there’s a phone, it’s better through it. The rest is only anguish - Alexey Shimansky

      @Dmitrii added screen for AVD. Must work. But AVD is too buggy of course. - Alexey Shimansky
