How to shake virtual device created by Genymotion (Android Emulator)

Question

I created a virtual device using Genymotion. I want to test an app that works with shaking the device. How can I make virtual device shake? I couldn't find how to shake that device.

Without using a USB-connected device for remote control? That's the only way I know how to do it. — kris larson, Jun 07 '17 at 16:45

⌘+m is working for OSX, Also Its working in Genymotion, for windows users willing to perform a shake gesture just use Ctrl+m

This method only work api under 15

For test accelerator and other like gravity,gyroscope,... can use this application.

First download sensorsimulator

This is 2 application. One install(SensorSimulatorSettings-2.0-rc1.apk) in emulator second(sensorsimulator-2.0-rc1.jar) run in your PC.

More info and full tutorial

Genymotion not support this feature :

More info Genymotion Shell

Other way :

You can use Android Studio emulator Android 6.0(Google APIS) x86.

This this emulator(All x86/x64 bit) very fast and support all sensors.

There isn't a native way to emulate a shake in genymotion, but you could try a tool like Frappe (Mac only) to send a shake action to the virtual device. Depending on the client you are trying to emulate, "adb shell input keyevent 82" may send a shake action, wake the device, or simulate a menu key press.

For Genymotion in particular for windows use Ctrl+Shift+M.
