[Qemu-devel] Android on Qemu

Hi All,

I am recently joined this group. I want to understand the procedural way how
Android runs on Qemu?
If anybody can update me on this, later I plan trying android porting on it,
so that android application can run on that.

Thanks

I believe Android uses its own fork of qemu and am not sure Android
would run in vanilla Qemu:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/qemu.git;a=summary

I think there are Android people reading this list as well, so they may
correct me if I'm wrong.

I suppose it would take them too much time to submit the patches?

This has already been answered on the Android forums. A stock QEMU cannot
run the emulated Android system
(even without the fancy skin support) because it lacks specific hardware
emulation for the virtual platform we call
"goldfish".

Patches are in preparation, as long as other hopefully good stuff. It's just
that I didn't find the time to prepare them
cleanly for submission (some Android specific stuff must be stripped out
and/or replaced).

There is also the issue of testing that the result works correctly, which is
made more complex due to the way
input events must be translated then passed to the Android emulated system
(the fancy skinning is there for a
reason).

Curious people can still look at the following page, and look at the
goldfish_xxxx sources:
