How to develop an Android app without an emulator?
I want to develop a simple Android app with simple logic and simple UI. I don't want to run a heavy and slow emulator or bother with a real device, heavy and slow, too.
So I want to run my app on a desktop OS (Linux or Mac).
As far as I know, to run a real apk on a desktop OS, I have to use an emulator.
So, is it possible to build a desktop-ish app with the same functionality from the same Java source?
Are there any lightweight frameworks which can run both on Android and on a desktop OS? (Browser-based ones don't seem lightweight to me.)
I need very little -- only widget-based UI, file system and network capabilities.
Update. I found Codename One. Looks promising...

Maybe you could try something like a Progressive Web App

If you are using a Linux system then look for Anbox
Anbox will let you run Android on your Linux system without the slowness of virtualization.
For more details check the blow link, its an open sources project
