How to run Android-x86 project's ISO in VirtualBox with ethernet?
- by Shiki
I managed to find a way just days ago, but I had to leave my other PC and now I have no clue how to get it working again. Basically you have to get the image, then install it in a VirtualBox guest.
Now the problem is ... when you launch your VM, there is no internet connection. No with NAT or Bridged. Tried all the network cards too. Since internet connection is crucial for Android development, I have to get this thing working. (As I said, I managed to fix it once.)
I'm using:
- The 4.0 RC1 images from Android-x86
- VirtualBox
- Eclipse 4.2 Juno with the latest Android ADT
- Android SDK v18 - upgraded to 19 via the Package manager.
Now I seen a lot of different builds on the net, about different Android builds for VirtualBox. I have checked Buildroid for example, but there is no network connection. I have imported the virtual machine just as the howto said. The extension package is also installed and it's up to date.
