Description:
Google Inc. recently officially gave the go-ahead to software developers to migrate Android applications to the Chrome OS platform. The next and predictable step by the management of the corporation was to provide developers with a native tool that would allow application developers to easily test mobile software, regardless of which operating system they use - Windows, OS X, Linux or Chrome OS.
For these purposes, Google introduced an emulator program that allows you to run Android applications directly in Google Chrome’s proprietary web browser. The extension called ARC Welder, though focused primarily on developers, but anyone can use it.
The user will only need to install a special plugin, after which all of the above mentioned operating systems will only open the “patched” Chrome browser, specify the file with the .apk extension, click on the “+” icon and check the functionality of the mobile software in the window that appears.
The ARC Welder settings allow you to select a portrait / landscape display of a window with an Android application, the size of a picture (smartphone, tablet or full screen), as well as allow or deny access to the clipboard used for quick insertion of text and images.

1. Install ARC Welder beta / developer preview

After the installation is complete, start ARC Welder and specify a folder on the disk to store temporary files.

2. Select one of the files on your computer with the .apk extension (relevant only for applications written under Android 4.4.), Specify your preferred settings and click "Launch app". For example, the emulation of the Instagram mobile application will allow not only to view other people's photos, but also to upload new images stored on the system disk to your account.

How to run the apk, to which you need to add the .obb cache?

Unfortunately, the application with the cache, it can not run



Rep: (18)
* MeriGuan7,
Know how, you need to edit manifest.json
Line "enableExternalDirectory": false - replace false with true.
Plus add permission to read and write folders - {"fileSystem": ["write", "retainEntries", "directory"]}
Then when you start the application, you will be able to select the folder where the application data will be stored there already and throw the cache.
True, nothing of the fact that I tested so normally and did not start, almost everything crashes. For example, here is an attempt to run hearthstonehttp://i.imgur.com/6eUAYdo.png

need to edit manifest.json

And {"enableExternalDirectory": true} will not be enough?

I tried, for now, only on Unofficial clientsavagemessiahzine.com- no access to the network.
I sin on antivirus worker. I experiment at home)))



Rep: (18)
* Dreamer ..., no, without permission to read and write will not run at all.

Odd does not plow at all. either a mistake or just twists for a long time and nothing (((

Maybe someone started Clash of Clans, it seems to start with me, but I don’t have to connect and write later. Maybe in the firewall, what rule should I create?



Rep: (13)
"retainEntries" is needed so that the folder selection dialog (which will be a memory card) does not pop up every time you start the application.

And you need to work with the emulator in a 64-bit OS.

I meant to add to the same place as the permission to read / write, so as not to edit manifest.json

I read on a foreign resource that many people were helped by the disabling of the firewall or antivirus.
Look in the logs, which program was denied access to the network and at what address.

Where to find that manifest.json?
Thank. : blush:

And to add permission to read it is necessary to add like in C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Google \ Chrome \ Application \ master_preferences

I tried to add to Additional metadata {"enableExternalDirectory": true} - when I start it, it swears at the wrong json, so without editing it in any way ...

    and
    "enableExternalDirectory": false,

    "enableExternalDirectory": true

    (How to add your application to the chrome are looking on the Internet or readARC Welder (Post digitop # 40242233)
  9. Run the application
  10. Specify a folder
  11. The application will hang or give an error or start downloading the cache.
  12. If it hangs or gives an error - Close the application and go to the specified folder, there should appear folders (I had Android, and in it obb and data) necessary for the application.
  13. Put the cash game in the desired folder and try to run again.

I tried to run multiple applications. Every time there is a download with the icon of this application. And then comes a piece of the puzzle with a sad smile. What am I doing wrong?

Turn on telepathy ....
1. Applications need a cache, but you did not read my post, under which you wrote yours.
2. Since This is all in the deep beta stage - the applications you select are not yet supported.

I read about the cache. Applications without it.
From applications for example I tried the instagram, I found a bourgeois movie in the internet, as it was launched through the welder, I did everything as in the video and did not start.
