Installing App's onto App Inventor Emulator

Chrisso80 · April 8th, 2012, 09:20 AM

Hi All. I'm trying to install a spreadsheet App onto the AppInventor Emulator. I want to use the spreadsheet App when building with AppInventor. Having particular problems with the adb in cmd.
Any help appreciated

Any apps downloaded to the emulator are lost when the emulator shuts down.

That's fine, but how do I download an App onto the emulator in the first place? Not an App I'm building, but an App I want to refer to when I'm building...
Thanks

To my knowledge only AI apps being developed with the blocks editor can be uploaded to the emulator. The emulator interacts with AI in real time on the currently loaded project only. Downloading the apk to a phone or tablet would allow your AI app to interact with another app installed on that device, though.
