#Interop REST Mail Contacts Calendar App Android Configuration

Before you configure your app, you need to register your app with an Office 365 Developer account. The directions for registering are in the README.md file in the root of this repo. Once your app is registered, install the Android SDK and you're ready to get started configuring your app for Android.

##Visual Studio Emulator Configuration

Android Studio comes with its own Android emulator, but Microsoft has designed an emulator focused on performance, speed, and efficiency that can be used independently or in conjunction with Visual Studio 2015. You can learn more about the Visual Studio Emulator for Android here.

###Install Visual Studio Android Emulator

You can download and install the Visual Studio Emulator for Android from this page. Then you can use it as a stand-alone emulator or in conjunction with Visual Studio.

The Visual Studio Emulator for Android does not require you to download and/or use Visual Studio, but if you would like to use the free (Community) or paid (Enterprise) Visual Studio, you can download and install either version from the Visual Studio Website. Whichever version you choose, it must be Visual Studio 2015 in order to run the emulator.

###Launch the App in Visual Studio Android Emulator

There are two ways to launch the Visual Studio Android Emulator, as a stand-alone emulator and through Visual Studio. Which way you want to use the emulator determines how you start it, but after that the steps are the same.

####As a Stand-Alone Emulator

To launch the Visual Studio Android Emulator as a stand-alone emulator, click on the Start menu and search for "emulator" and select Visual Studio Emulator for Android

launch visual studio android emulator

####As Part of Visual Studio

To launch the Visual Studio Android Emulator as part of Visual Studio, click on the Start menu and search for "Visual Studio" and click on Visual Studio 2015

launch visual studio

  1. Once the emulator has started, choose a device by clicking the green triangle next to your choice.

choose a device

  1. When you have chosen a device, open your project in Android Studio and start your app using steps 3 - 4 in the Android Configuration section above.

  2. After running your app, instead of choosing to launch the emulator, select Choose a running device and then select a device using the VS Emulator then click OK.

choose the vs emulator

  1. Your app will now open the connect page in the Visual Studio Emulator for Android. To login and use the app, complete steps 7 - 10 in the Android Configuration section.
