How to test sensor application in android AVD?

Question

I am developing a android proximity application using eclipse and Android AVD but I am not able to test proximity application in AVD.

Is there any other way to test proximity application and other sensor application?

Note: My computer USB is blocked so i am not able to connect physical device also

Answer 1

AVD cannot test a lot of Android features, especially sensors.

In case the USB is unavailable for debug in physical device, you can:

1. change to a computer with non-blocking USB, and debug it with real device.
2. make a .apk and install in a real device & diagnose with on-screen debug messages
3. enable "ADB over Network", then you can debug the app with Bluetooth / Wi-Fi network
