Genymotion 2.2.0 (March 31st, 2014)
New features
Genymotion Java API
Developers can now access a Java API that lets them control Genymotion sensors within their application code. This will help you develop unit tests and improve your Android application. It will allow you to keep your source code clean, without complex mocking proxy objects. For more information, refer to the API tab of the Genymotion website.
Virtual device update
We regularly add new features to Genymotion. These new features cannot work on virtual devices created with a previous version of Genymotion. This is why you see an annoying popup when you try to run them from a new Genymotion version. But rejoice! Today is the last day you will have to do it. In this release, we have introduced a wizard that automatically migrates old devices to new ones. So please, for the last time, delete your current virtual devices and create new ones using our new 2.2 Genymotion version. Next time, you will be able to automatically convert them.
Log archive creation
For a faster response from our support team, you can now generate a log archive directly from Genymotion. This log archive contains all the information we need to better identify your problem.
Corrections
- On Microsoft Windows, stopping a virtual device was not immediate when closing the window, making impossible to start it again for a short period of time. This issue has been fixed.

- When closing Android applications, some memory leaks could occur. This problem has been fixed.
- Some textures could be corrupted or swapped in rendering. This problem has been fixed.
- To avoid false license activation renewal on Microsoft Windows platforms, the license activation process has been modified.
- When asked to do so, restarting your virtual device from the Remote control widget could lead to usability issues after reboot. This problem has been fixed.
- When running multiple virtual devices, the drag and drop feature could encounter issues. This problem has been fixed.
- An ‘incompatible ABI’ installation error occured for some malformed Android applications that do not contain native libraries. This problem has been fixed.
Improvements
- To avoid Genymotion installation issues, adb daemon now stops when reinstalling Genymotion on Microsoft Windows.
