Android Browser Emulator Question

Is it possible with any program to simulate the internet web browser from Android on my computer?
Basically what I am trying to do is this:
I want to view web pages as I would from my android phone, but I want to do that on my computer using a virtual device, I guess. Does anyone wnt to explain what I need to do to make this happen? I am trying to develop some mobile sites and I want to be able to see how they look on the phone, from my computer instead of having to actually do it on my physical device.

Yes you can, with the android emulator.
I'd be happy to help you set it up but I have to wonder why you dont just use your phone.
Are you wanting to view your mobile website BEFORE you apply the changes to it?
What I can help you with is setting up an emulator that will actually browse the web from within your computer, really cool but might not be what you're going for...

Don't do it. Nebenezer is the biggest d-bag, he'll freaking mess up your phone so bad.
J/K. Carry on, carry on.

My phone is across the room on the charger right now, running wireless tether because I get more speed thru that than pdanet, which is turning out to be a waste of the 25 i spent on it.
What's your gtalk or ICQ neb? Wait, I already have you on ther,e hit me up!

What happened to my friend: Purple Drama Llama?

My friend and boss has vanished and I haven't seen any active use of his profile so what happened?
Anybody kill him?

Yeah don't buy one But besides that no, I've never used one.

The only reason I'd buy a Mac is for dedicated audio recording and nothing else.
Oh yeah and loooking coooool in public.
Get a real computer, that's my top tip.

Wrong place mostly. The majority here doesn't like Apple to begin with, and we tinkerers don't like the idea of having an overpriced piece of tech. For the same price, you could have gotten a much better spec'd Windows kit. And if you are going desktop, by building your own rig, you could have built something that'll blow the Mac completely out of the world and still have change to bring your girl out for a date

CSB time.
My bud's GF is called Mac. So the first time I saw her (she was kinda cute) I decided to have a dig at her.
I just told her that I hate Mac with a vengeance and I will stay loyal with XP (my girlfriend's initials). My buddy laughed and she was stunned for a few seconds, and we had to explain the joke to her. Twice.
Later on, we were sitting beside each other and I made a fuss out of distancing with her, saying I'm allergic to Apple products.
And yeah, she smacked my arm after that.

Actually, I didn't have to flash that far back. It happened over the weekend. Needless to say, I mess around with people so often that I got infamous for it. It's a great icebreaker too, since it weeds out the cool people with the not-so-cool people.

Why on earth are you asking such a question here?! Folks here are fandroids! Ask another place.
But if you want one, buy it. You'll get top of the line hardware (and not thin crappy plastic fantastic ****) and you'll get a stable OS that's not crying about viruses everytime you're downloading Girls Gone Wild Vol. 86.
People here only writes "F*** Apple", "get a real computer", "Steve Jobs gave me herpes" and things like that. Their actually not here to help you.

To whit, I submit the following questions to the OP and to Mr. BazookaAce:
What is the purpose of such a machine? Are you genuinely using it for the software suites that only Mac can handle? Or you're simply trying to impress the chicks that will never notice you otherwise?
If you answered "Yes" to the last two questions, you might need a Mac. Otherwise, move along. There is genuinely better laptops for a better price.

I use an hp dv7 as my main computer. First laptop. Now that I have it, I see the use of a portable laptop. I want an air because it is extremely portable. Fully operational computer. Spec something out that compares to it. You whine and cry about overpriced pos. Yes the desktops are. But put up or shut up. Spec a windows unit out that compares. Apple got it right with the air, and it's the only mac I would buy.
And to the op, only tip would be spend an extra bill to get 4gb of ram. Otherwise leave it as is if you have other computers to work from. It's a good ultra portable as is, just that bump in ram will boost performance to do all you need as a second portable device. Go for it.

I game too much, so my opinion is completely and truly biased.
Go ahead with your purchase, with the knowledge that a stoopid Dell XPS 14 can beat the shark out of a MacBook Air 13" for about 30% off. And I'm talking better processor, GPU and RAM. And you can buy a nice SSD for the price difference, and keep your old HDD in an external enclosure. And still have change for the spare battery.
Like I said, if you genuinely need something that Mac has to offer (like multimedia stuff), a Mac is good. But for any other reasons, a PC will serve you better. In fact, I have recommended Macs to two of my friends; a budding photographer and a musician. They loved it for what it can do that Windows couldn't
So my question still stands; do you NEED a Mac? Or do you buy it because you're an Apple tool?

First thing is recommend.... Wait until about July when the refresh comes out, it'll most likely have a sandybrige CPU meaning better performance and battery life, although they will probably remove the dedicated graphics card and use the onboard Intel 3000HD thing I have a macbook air from 2008 btw..

They are great little laptops, we had two at work.
This may be a problem that has been resolved now, but both had problems with the display hinge breaking. Apple repaired both of them without any problem, even though one was out of warranty.
I eventually got fed up with the small screen and got a 15 inch 'Pro'.

First of all, i'm not 12 years old. I'm not a gamer. Second, i don't care about the price. Some buys a Mercedes or BMW, and some nerds will buy a Kia, put 800 HK in it, and call it gods work. No, it's still a piece of **** that will crash and burn more often then Mr Sheen.
People like nice things, and people like stability. Not everyone likes a Alienware box that will melt within 3 minutes of use.
But it doesn't matter what i say, since you're most likely a 13 year old chick with cheetos on your pubs, and needs to grow a pair.

you are gonna get pwned by sakai4eva dude

btw, why are everyone *****ing about stability in windows? i have a sony vaio z and i NEVER noticed any lag or crashes. looks like people are still using windows xp or running win 7 on ****ty hardware.

I think it is time for big dady Microsoft to give something back.

HD2 is the best phone in the World at the moment.
No it does not have the best 15154 billion collor screen.
No it does not have 6 cores CPU.
No it does not have 1080p recording or 12MP camera.
No it does not have al sorts of prety much "paper only" functions.
What it does have is a soul, inspired by great programmers, developers, a lot of sleepless nights, and a lot of sweat.
What does that mean? Well, HD2 users pretty much kept WINDOWS MOBILE a live. Development, upgrading, enabling it run android, etc. What did we get back? Void warranties, bricked phones, etc. No, nobody from Microsoft said: Hey guys, that is pretty darn cool, keep it up, we are learning from you. No, they said: Well, srew that, we are going to give all our attention to ours younger son, WINDOWS PHONE 7.
Ok, that is just fine, you did few phones based on WP7, good for you. Well guess what, we run it better, smoother, on a bigger screen, hell, even if we get sick of it we just do restart and BAM WE ARE IN ANDROID 2.3.5!
We don't need much from Mirosoft now, we can handle almost anything, HEY MICROSOFT WE RUN MANGO, we can update via Zune!!!
Only one thing really annoys me: Dear Microsoft, do we really ned to cheat your support agents to give us activation keys to use live services and market places?
For Gods sake! We are your children, we use Windows on phone, at home, we said no to apple (Adam and Eve couldn't do that) Do you really need to treat us like this?
Please all users, make online petitions, facebook groups, send mails. We need to get this.

You don't need to cheat..you can chat and get an id. They are not asking you anything about your phone . They just want name, contact no., and email id

How would you handle this awkward situation?

Well I have my setup at my parents house so that I can remotely access their computer at any time (VNC client). They aren't the most tech savvy so it's a benefit to me so I can "fix" any problems or do general maintenance on the machine. Well this is the second time this week I randomly go to log on and notice firefox minimized with two active windows for porn sites...
Awkward much? My parents are happily married over 30 years but my dad's retired so he's home during the day while my mother is working.
I just politely covered his paper trail these two times (close it and delete cookies/browsing history/etc.).
Would you say something to your dad or just play dumb??? I'm not suspicious of anything bad but it just seemed really weird to stumble on.

It's just awkward for you really, isn't it. I've stumbled upon various things whilst fixing other people's PCs, or once when wiping down a PC for a deceased friend's family. My opinion is to just act as if you never saw it. I just don't see the point in the embarrassment for either party. That's my opinion anyway.

The way you handle this is closely related to the kind of relationship you have with your father. If it was my father, after laughing a lot I would even call him and recommend him the best porn sites across the web
But if the relation is more "serious" you should just ignore what happened. I don´t think that is something you should worry about.

I'd ignore it if I were you. It will feel more awkward when he knows that you know.

have you tried having a long talk with him, about what he is feeling being normal. that his body will under go a change and he will loose hair in places he once had it?
also that there is nothing wrong with what he is doing except that you can see his computer.
also maybe gift him a splash proof keyboard

As an older guy...... (old as your dad) it is ok to be straight up with him. Tell him that you were doing maint./cleaning up on the computer and noticed this. Show him how to cover his own tracks and tell him you don't care one way or the other........ none of your business.... but tell him you want him to know how do the cleanup/deleting so Mom never finds out..... of course ..unless it was mom who was looking......

Fairly basic maths really. 'How to unblock...' is a subset of what Google can do, therefore Google does indeed equal more than just that

That you have come to XDA to ask suggests you don't have the skills to hack the work web filter, it may be an ASA with a CSC module or similar.

You are at WORK. They are paying you to work, not to fu*k around with your phone. I used to have a colleague who played around with his phone at work while the rest of us actually did his job - he didn't last for long.
Keep your work at work and play with your toys in your own time, rather than trying to get one over on your employer

Did you even bother to actually read to OP and the thread, or did you just read a couple of words and decided to post this pointless answer?
If the OP's company blocks hosting sites, TOR installers etc then I don't think simply trying to use https will acheive anything - do you?

ever try underget.com? I worked for me for a few weeks, until one day I tried it, and was blocked.
I was in a similar situation. I feel if my job is done, I should be able to relax *a little*.
I know employers will never agree, and that we should be helping others who cant finish their jobs, or go clean the office, etc..
You can always upgrade your mobile data plan, and download from your phone/device. Is there a free (unblocked)wifi in the area you could utilize?
happy hacking... I can relate. I used to have a virtual machine running ubuntu, building kernels in my free time.
If you change your OP to: how to get to blocked sites so I can develop Sooper Awesome Kernel and Rom for Device XYZ, I some people would have been more inclined to help...
part of me says, yeah i should be "working", the other half says do what I feel, and I end up usually browsing the web.. and laughing my butt off to the off topic images thread... lol

That only works if the web filter is crap and the website is also running on port 443 which most don't.
OP now I'm with you, I used to work 12 hour shifts in IT at night and weekends, we used the office modem to play online games etc, and also watch DVDs.
You could talk nicely to your IT guys and see if they can make an exception for you.

Use your phone as a USB modem and download via that. If your company has blocked access to certain sites then you're risking getting sacked if you find a way to access them. Respect your company's wishes and stop trying to stumble your way around their security.
