Testing on Real Device

Hey y’all. I’ve been thinking, ok I want to make a games with Amazon, Nook, and Android. I have a Android phone to test my games, but I don’t have a Nook or Kindle Fire. What should I do to test my games because buying those tablets would cost me more money. So what is your suggestion?

You may be able to find a developer willing to test your game if it is fully completed on their own device if you send them the APK. (You wouldn’t need to share your code.)

@peach but who? I don’t know what developer has a Nook or Kindle Fire [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 20731 reply_id: 81479[/import]

I have a Kindle fire, or I have another idea. Go to a place like bestbuy that has a bunch of Kindle’s and Nook’s laying around. Then just download an app installer on the device from the market, and send the APK file to your email. Then save the APK to your devices SD card, install it, then test it out.

Hope this helps.

Jordan’s suggestion is good - but if you do decide to try what I said (or aren’t near a tech store, etc) then just ask around. Try IRC, the Android forum, etc.

@peach sure I will ask around

@jordan your idea is also great but I would feel a bit awkward to testing my game, and my local BestBuy don’t have working Tablets they just have it in display. But thanks for suggestion [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 20731 reply_id: 81672[/import]

Don’t you also need to have a Pro account to build for Nook/Fire? [import]uid: 70847 topic_id: 20731 reply_id: 81673[/import]

@ingemar yeah I know that, is in a couple weeks I will be upgrading to pro so I’m planning ahead how I’m going to test for Nook and Kindle [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 20731 reply_id: 81679[/import]
