Google Glass Development kit was released yesterday. But, I can't find any emulator. Where is it? Is there any emulator like an android emulator out there, where we can test these native google glass apps?

2Have you checked http://glass-apps.org/google-glass-emulator? – luanjot Nov 20 '13 at 16:42

@luanjot: That is a web based emulator for glass apps built using HTML, JSON, REST etc. Is this is working for this new 'Android' based glass api too? – Dongle Nov 20 '13 at 16:44

Glass is basically an android device. Just create your own ADV (using android v15) with a resolution of 640x320.
You could also use the released img/boot files to create a virtual machine running glass, just like you would any other android device (google for tuts on this).
Of course, touch/sensors/etc are a bit tricky to emulate/run, but they do work like they do on any android device. I ported my sensor code directly, and touches worked immediately using the glass.gesturerecogniser code posted on dev.google.

Hello thanks for the information, so you mean by creating an AVD like that I can compile and run the glass? – Dongle Dec 05 '13 at 06:55

Can you tell us more about how you tested GDK app on emulator? I did the same and tried demo Stopwatch app, but Eclipse warned that there is not default activity set in the Manifest. – sandalone Feb 07 '14 at 07:28

There is still no Google Glass emulator in the GDK, you have to test your Glassware directly on the device installing the apk (with Eclipse or adb).
