[Anyone had any truck with Andy the android emulator? In the throes of unsuccessfully installing the little ahem, and headache is not the word so far.
All I'm getting is an apparently successful install, & the usual 'go ahead & open from desktop or tray icon', which it doesn't. Have had 2 (and now on no. 3) attempts, one without installing oracle virtualbox, which iirc stalled at a certain point & gave up. Help pls.]
