Virtualbox Android Mac
Android-x86 is an open-source project that makes porting of Google’s Android mobile operating system to run on Intel x86 or AMD powered devices. Chih-Wei Huang and Yi Sun originated the project in 2009 with series of patches to enable Android to run on tablets, netbooks, and PC’s. Your Windows 10 VM is now ready to go on your Mac! If you ever want to change any of the settings, just right-click the VM, and then click “Settings.” Now that you’re up and running, be sure to check out some of our other guides on VirtualBox and VMs. You can also refer to Oracle’s User Manual for VirtualBox if you have any questions.
Hello everyone.I have been struggling for the whole day now to get an Android emulation running while establishing a Bluetooth connection.
Android Virtualbox Macos
This is the setup:Host is Mac OS X 10.14.1 running VirtualBox 6.0.
Guest is an Android 7.1 32bit version I got from android-x86[dot]org
Just for completeness: While installing the virtual Android system I ran into some issues loading the GUI while booting.
I followed some solution on Stackoverflow to boot in VESA mode. (I can post to link to that after 1 day and 1 post if you want....)
Anyway the OS is running inside VirtualBox so far and I was able to install the application of my choice.
Now to the problem enabling Bluetooth.
What is working: I see my Bluetooth module inside the USB devices in VB and I am also able to select it.
I tested this on an Ubuntu 16.04 64bit virtual machine... and see: no problem enabling Bluetooth in the OS and scanning for devices.
However, when I am in the Android system all options to enable Bluetooth do not respond at all (neither the quick access nor preferences BT settings will do anything).
I do not have any clue why BT would work in Ubuntu but not in Android.
Any hints?
Oracle Vmware Box
Edit: The guest additions are not installed on the Android system (and to my understanding are not possible to be installed).
Greetings,
Johannes
