Configure multiple Android display devices

Use this procedure to configure multiple Android display devices, for example a phone and a tablet and an emulator.

By default, the device ID is not set in the Display client configuration and Genero Studio uses the first connected device it finds. If you want to connect multiple devices at the same time, you can create multiple configurations, each one specific to a device ID.
  1. Select Tools >> Android Tools >> List Devices. The list of connected devices appears in the output along with their respective device IDs.
    List of devices attached 
    06dd7df1 device
    emulator-5554 device
  2. Copy the device ID of your device. Android virtual devices are considered a device by this utility and will appear in the list as well. If you have multiple devices listed and you are not sure which one is the right one, disconnect all of them except the one you wish to configure.
  3. In the Display Client management dialog, enter the ID into the Device ID field. You may edit the default configuration or add new Display Client configurations. We recommend having a different port for each client available on the client machine. For example:
    • 6500 for an Android Nexus 7 device
    • 6501 for an Android Nexus 5 device
    • 6502 for an Android Emulator
    • 6503 for an iOS simulator
    and so on.

  4. If you have more than one USB device connected, create a separate Genero configuration for each Android device you have connected. You can now start the emulator and connect all the devices you configured via USB. Selecting a Genero Configuration will select the device (or emulator) to use.
