Genymotion 2.0 "drag and drop"

anyone tried this website to install Google play store and works? http://blog.zeezonline.com/2013/11/install-google-play-on-genymotion-2-0/

The drag and drop doesn't work as it just shows a "no entry" sign whenever I try to drop an apk or zip file on the home-screen.

any solutions?

Keep in mind, if your APK is corrupted or incorrectly formed, it won't be able to be installed through any means, especially drag and drop.

Obvious, but easy to forget.

This happens because you are using custom ANTROIDSTUDIO SDK.

So change this into Genymotion default Android tools

Open Genymotion Click Settings --> ADB

select default Genymotion Android tools

@superwayne you're right ...

You can't drag and drop under windows if one application is started as administrator. Start Genymotion without administrator and it will work.

But, In my Windows 10, (I do not know why), Genymotion always start as Administrator, then my solution was:

Run any explorer process as Administrator
Drag a file from that application, which is also run as administrator

Open Oracle VM Virtual Box, right click on your device emulator and click on shared folders, and create a folder to share with the emulador. Check the auto mount option.

After this, reboot your emulator and try to use drag' and drop again.

That works for me.

You need to open Oracle VM Virtual Box that was installed with GenyMotion (or manually). Select the emulator and go to "configuration -> Advanced" and check "enable drag and drop" or something like that. Relaunch the emulator and drag n drop should be available !

Enjoy !
