This is not a post how to install android x86 in hyper-v, you can find that here: INSTALLING ANDROID-X86 ON HYPER-V WITH WINDOWS 8.1 IN UNDER 5 MINUTES
After install you should enable developer mode and allow unknown sources, you can find that here: How to enable Developer Options on your Android phone or tablet and How to sideload an app onto your Android phone or tablet
Now setup the network configuration as described here: Part 2: Screen resolution and Network configuration
In short give the hyper-v virtual ethernet adapter a fixed ip address and on the android start terminal and type:
adb shell su dhcpcd -k eth0 dhcpcd -n eth0 netcfg
Install ADB and needed drivers from here and start adb in terminal on the android from here:
su adb tcpip 5555
On your Host machine start a command prompt:
adb connect ip_from_android_netcfg adb devices
The last command should output the ip address from the android and “device”
Installation of APK files is done with
adb install *.apk
Edit the hosts file on the android by making the system read/write in terminal on the android
adb shell su mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system chmod 777 /system/app exit exit
On the host machine
adb pull /system/etc/hosts d:\temp\hosts REM edit with your favorite editor adb push d:\temp\hosts /system/etc
Debugging log reading on the host machine
adb logcat
Got a lot of E/audio_hw_primary( 1393): no pcm card found? Turn off the touch sounds in settings > sound > uncheck everything (touch sounds, screen lock, dialpad)
This Android port for Hyper-V isn’t as user friendly as Genymotion. Microsoft comes with it’s own Android Emulator for VS2015.
But the project’s goal is not to provide an emulator for development. They want to provide an Android installation for laptops and do that well.

I’m a huge fan of Rhino Mocks and have written about it on this blog. Today I read that Ayende has an implementation for a Service Bus. Like nServicebus but “free”, even Udi Dahan talks about it. This is a first look at the Rhino ServiceBus.
Like everything there is a nuget for Rhino.Servicebus. I’ve used nServicebus last year and the Rhino.Servicebus.Host looks familiar. Also the usage of Structuremap is implemented as a nuget. Easy setup of my projects.
But what is this Common.Logging? Still in active development and maybe worth a further look. After some reading I’ve got it working.
Messages are send over an IServiceBus and handled by a Consumer. The Consumers are hooked up using a BootStrapper (StructureMapBootStrapper) and the App.Config. Everything is started from the commandline with the Rhino.ServiceBus.Host.exe as the hosting process. Someone has been paying attention to nServicebus 😉
Developing consumers for Rhino.Servicebus separates the unit-of-work nicely. This makes unit testing very easy. Unlike nServicebus there is no testing nuget available, but I can mock/stub the IServicebus using Rhino.Mocks. RhinoServiceBusDemo in my github repositories contains tests for 100% code coverage, but involves Microsoft Fakes.
In comparison with nServiceBus the Rhino ServiceBus is rough and misses some descent documentation. Also no updates since June 2013.
But the product is free and the license allows all usage. No arguing there.

My training for Eindhoven is on schedule. For this I’m using RunInfo (dutch) and Trello.
The schedule from RunInfo can be printed or saved to PDF, but as a developer I prefer a more interactive solution. I created a board that shows the training as cards. With the calendar power-up the schedule is displayed beautiful and adds a iCalendar feed.
Have a look at my Marathon Eindhoven Board.
Now all I have to do is Train, Race, Beer. See you in Eindhoven.
