I'm currently developing an app for android that uses the flash. My miserable problem is that I don't have a device featuring a flashlight... Is there any emulator in the world that shows the flash state?
Thank you guys in advance! José.

There is no emulator that can allow you test the flashlight. You need a real device for it.
You need to add the permission also to your manifest file - "android.permission.FLASHLIGHT"

The android emulator does not work with "flashlight apps".
I was also disappointed to hear this when I started developing my flashlight app quite some time ago. I haven't found a solution either, except for having a development device (my phone) to test the app on.
In general, it helps to have a development device on hand because the emulator is not always 100% accurate.
Best of luck.
