With the Device Link feature, you can use a smartphone as an emulation companion for your development. It allows you to:

  • Forward touch event from your smartphone to the emulator.
  • Mirror emulator screen on your smartphone.
  • Forward smartphone sensors to the emulator (precisely accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer) - see Motion sensors widget.

As a result, you can test your application as if you were holding a device in your hands.

To use Device Link, open the settings window:

Device link tab window without any linked devices

Connect your smartphone to your computer, ensure USB debugging is enabled. Please refer to this article for detailed instructions. You may also need to configure your system to enable ADB connection through USB. See Set up a device for development for detailed instructions.

You can also use ADB wirelessly.

Once your smartphone is ready and connected via USB to your host computer, click on to refresh the list, it will appear in the Available devices section:

Click LINK DEVICE to proceed: this will install the Genymotion Link app on your device and automatically open it.

When completed, you should see your virtual device display on your physical device screen, and it should appear as "Device linked":
