Once the installation is complete, you will be prompted to restart the IDE. Click Yes to restart now and No if you need to save any unsaved changes to open projects. Note that changes do not take effect until the IDE is restarted.
Once installed, you must inform Hybrid Mobile Tools of the Android SDK location before you can use Hybrid Mobile Tools actions involving Android.
To set the Android SDK location, click Window → Preferences and select Hybrid Mobile. In the Android SDK Directory field, type the path of the installed SDK or click Browse to navigate to the location. Click Apply and click OK to close the Preferences window.
The hybrid mobile application can be run on devices and simulators using the Hybrid Mobile Tools.
To run the project on a device, in the Project Explorer view, right-click the project name and click Run As → Run on Android Device. This option calls the external Android SDK to package the workspace project and run it on an Android device if one is attached. Note that the Android SDK must be installed and the IDE correctly configured to use the Android SDK for this option to execute successfully.
To run the project on an emulator, in the Project Explorer view, right-click the project name and click Run As → Run on Android Emulator. This requires that you create an Android AVD to run the application in a virtual device.
For running on an Android device or emulator, you need to install the Android Developer Tools, which require an Eclipse instance (JBoss Developer Studio could be used), and can run on Windows (XP, Vista, 7), Mac OS X (10.5.8 or later), Linux (with GNU C Library - glibc 2.7 or later, 64-bit distributions having installed the libraries for running 32-bit applications).
You must have Android API 17 or later installed on your system to use the Run on Android Emulator action.
In the Project Explorer view, right-click the project name and click Run As → Run on iOS Emulator. This option calls the external iOS SDK to package the workspace project into an XCode project and run it on the iOS Simulator.
This option is only displayed when using OS X operating systems, for which the iOS Simulator is available. You must install Xcode 4.5+ which includes the iOS 6 SDK. You must also install a Simulator for iOS 5.x or higher, to run the project on a simulator.
