Hi,

Is it possible to run my FW program on an Android device on a windows emulator ? If so, which emulator is better ?

Thank you, Antonio ! But in my case RD is not suitable. :cry:
I was most interested in ExaGear. But I do not know how stable it is in operation

Wine is a Linux emulator. Do you consider it more reliable than Windows emulators ?

According to Wine docs:

Wine enables Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, and Solaris users to run Windows applications without a copy of Microsoft Windows


It is not a Linux emulator

I understand that I need Wine 3.0 ARM (Windows RT) ? But I didn't understand if it supports touch screen and virtual keyboard operation ?

I have not tried it myself, so you have to do the R+D for it :-)

I high recommend you to use RDP.

Android is already slower without an emulator, with emulator it will be terrible :D

Thank you for advice. However, RDP (in my case) will not work. I will try to implement the task either on Android Studio or on MS Office Mobile (VBA)
