To test a CloudDB chat app you need:
- two Android devices (2 cell phones or a cellphone and a tablet) both connected to WIFI or network (data).
- build an apk and load that version on both devices
- You can also use a cell phone or tablet with the installed apk for one person and use your emulator for the other. This works for a chat game I made. You do not have to install the apk in the emulator; just use your emulator with the code you used to create the apk.
Set up one device to be the doctor, the other device to be the patient; then you can alternately use one device or another to 'chat'. ( alternatively, use your cell for the doctor and the emulator for the patient).
Does it work for you? If not try the chat game
Mountain Kingdom - a chat real time two player, two device game using the CloudDB and a Canvas .
Load the aia; compile the apk; load the apk on your cell phone; run the game using the emulator. The emulator version communicates with the version loaded to your cell.
