How to connect multiple NOX instances in Android studio

About

NOX is a great android emulator. So I am wondering how to replace the default emulator from Android studio with NOX.

How to create multiple nox instances

After installing the NOX, there should be an icon about Multi-drive.

So, double click it and you can add more than one NOX instances just like below

For demonstration (and that’s all I need), there are 2 NOX instances.

How to connect NOX instances

• For each of your NOX instances, following tutorial here to enable the developer mode.

• Keep instances running and head to the console to get the IP:PORT information of your instances by command nox_adb.exe devices just like below

If you don’t know what adb is, here is a link from google to know more about it.

• Link up android studio and NOX instances

After knowing IP:PORT of your NOX instances, you can setup a link for android studio and NOX.

At first, andriod studio cannot detect them after clicking the start button in the red square:

Back to the console, and type command nox_adb.exe connect IP:PORT

Then, you should be able to see them from android studio

Happy coding :P
