Is there an Android based Google Glass Emulator?

Is it possible to define an Android Virtual Device for use to develop Google Glass apps (until the devices become widely available)?


There's no official Glass Emulator yet.

I overcame this via installing Glass APKs into Nexus 7 tablet.

It worked perfectly:

  • I can control it in http://google.com/myglass
  • Mirror API works flawlessly.
  • GDK Sneak Peak doesn't work.

I described all the required steps here: http://www.elekslabs.com/2013/11/google-glass-development-without-glass.html


There isn't an out the box emulator.

You can use the playground to preview your cards, this will show you how your card will be laid out depending on what attributes you provide in your timeline post object. On the right. Just switch that view on the right to HTML if you want to provide a custom HTML template for your cards.


Yes you can.. Use your phone as google glass.

As a matter of fact, I just saw an Engadget article (this morning I think) that announced that the Google Glass API is now live

Additional links from the Engadget article:

  2. https://developers.google.com/glass/ (The ACTUAL Link to the API) :-)

However, as the developer site lists, there is nothing specific for Android. :-(

  3. Go
