Post by Aurelian »

Hello

I want to create an android emulator similar with any the emulator. So will need to create an virtualbox installer with android os included.
Would point me documentation for that ?

There is no official documentation for that - Android is not a supported guest.

Even so, a few people have already done it. I suggest Googling for VirtualBox and Android.

Btw. A pendantic point: the VM would not be an "Android emulator". There is nothing emulated about the guest OS.

Thanks for your answer. I know that andy emulator use virtualbox as virtual machine for his emulator. I know how to install android on a virtual box machine but i do not know how to pack them into an installer. Would you suggest me which section of this forum should I check for this?

use virtualbox as virtual machine
That would be a mistake in thinking that VirtualBox is the machine. VirtualBox allows you to install an OS ( machine ) and do what ever you want. Given that you probably have a Linux "machine" that you have an emulator embedded in and that is who you need to talk to and they would need to tell you what to use to build an installer.
