Install Chrome for Android in Android emulator


0

I want to install the Chrome for Android on the Android emulator (running Windows 7 64bits). I tried accessing the google play market from the emulator, but it won't let me install.

I tried installing the chrome for android APK from here, but when I launch chrome it says the minimum supported OS is ice cream sanwdich 4.0

With FireFox it was very easy, I just grabbed the APK from their FTP server & run the adb install command, one would think it should be even easier with chrome, but it's really not!

Any advice please?

Android 5.1, Chrome 57:

  • Create emulator.
  • Run emulator.
  • Wait for emulator to boot.
  • Download chrome-android.apk to your PC.
  • Drag-drop apk to emulator screen.

Should install. Takes a long time.

You can install Chromium using the instructions on this blog post

It even provides a script for automating installing the latest apk

#! /bin/sh

LATEST=`curl -s http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/Android/LAST_CHANGE`

echo Latest Chromium Android at $LATEST

TMP_DL=`mktemp -t chrome-android.XXXX`
TMP_APK=`mktemp -t chrome-android.XXXX`
REMOTE_APK=http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/Android/$LATEST/chrome-android.zip

echo Downlaoding $REMOTE_APK to $TMP_DL
curl $REMOTE_APK -o $TMP_DL

echo Extracting ChromiumTestShell.apk to $TMP_APK
unzip -p $TMP_DL chrome-android/apks/ChromiumTestShell.apk >> $TMP_APK
adb install $TMP_APK
