If you want to run Android on you PC, you can install Android ISO in Virtual box. Once installed you can use Android enviornment on your machine install apps on it.
You need to install virtualbox first, which can be downloaded from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads (I tried it for UBUNTU 12.04)
Then download Android x-86 ISO from http://www.android-x86.org/download
I have tested it for the following settings
- Operating System: Linux – Linux 2.6
- Memory Size: 512 MB
- Hard Drive Size: 3 GB or More
Here is the snap shot of adding Android on virtual box.
After Installation is complete, reboot it go to devices > CD/DVD Devices remove disk from virtual drive so as to boot normally inplace of getting booted from ISO.
