develop for Vuzix M100 smart glasses - android-studio

I am developing for Google glass using Glass Development Kit + android studio. I am unable to run this apk file on Vuzix M100 smart glasses. So for this problem I checked its developer site .This website says that "We need to use eclipse IDE along with vuzix sdk to develop for same."
Please suggest me on below mentioned points :
So it will cause double work for me. Any body knows any solution to this problem ?
Can I upgrade Vuzix Smart phone OS to run API level 19 ?
How can I make this apk generated using GDK to run on Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses.
I have also come across this question ,but answer was posted a year before.

After much reserch and browsing I found out that wikitude SDK can be used for developing applications that can run on both google glass and Vuzix M100 smart glasses.For details check out the documnets listed below :

How to send a Unity HoloLens 2 project for immediate testing by a remote colleague (without certification from Microsoft Store)

I am developing for HoloLens 2 and I don't have the device (I am using the Emulator to test).
I want to build the project with Unity and send the built package to a colleague that is not a developer - meaning, he is not good with Visual Studio - and who wants to test the app.
I tried using Microsoft Store and this worked for the initial P.O.C., but after the second submission I thought that it was going to be faster, but always takes up to 3 business days, which is not acceptable as a good workflow.
I know that, in ideal conditions, I should have the HoloLens, but this is not possible for now.
Do you have any idea on how to send packages to a non-developer person so that he can test the app in another country and so that it doesn't require a certification process like Microsoft Store?
You can take a look at the Sideloading feature provided by HoloLens Device Portal. Please follow this guide to connect the HoloLens over Wi-Fi or USB and manage your device from a web browser on your PC: Installing an app. In this way, you can directly send the app package to your colleague, and he can install it without using VS.

Error while create a new react-native project

Trying to create a new app on react-native. 'react-native start' command gives no error. But I'm not able to see my app on the emulator. Can anyone help me in figuring out the problem. I'm new to react-native.
Are you using a Macbook or Windows? For Windows, you will have to use an Android emulator, thus you will need to download Android Studio, and the Android SDK.
For Mac, you will use the IOS emulator, you will need to download Expo in that case.
Also you could try using the create-react-native-app instead. I built a project with 3 other buddies in two weeks, we found that it had the most reliable boilerplate and is really good for beginning with react-native.
*** Edit:
*** Big caveat with create-react-native-app is that it won't matter what OS your computer has. If you have an apple phone, you just run "npm run ios" then scan the QR code with expo. If you have an Android phone like I had...you will run into a few issues where you need to set the phone to USB debugging mode in the developer's settings, download the USB debugging driver for your phone's model, ensure both your phone and computer are on the same wifi network, install expo, and finally be able to run "npm run android".
I was the only one on my team developing with an Android phone, so if you need advice on that, feel free to ask.
Some extra information about create-react-native-app is that it allows you to code for both Android and IOS phones by using the same project folder, rather than having to adjust settings for one platform at a time.
That has it's pros and cons for sure and there will be little differences in how one platform functions over the other...so my recommendation is to build for one platform at a time, focusing on whichever one you are testing on.

You have to install all Intel Image Library and Google API for your desired API. Go to your SDK Manager and check intel system images is installed or not if not then you have to installed it as well install Google API Library.

Is there a how to guide for testing livecode?

I have been trying for days to get a simple app any app made in livecode to display either on my tablet, smartphone or emulator. It just doesn't work. Here is what I have done:
I have installed my sdk and pointed livecode to it in preferences.
Picked 2.3 as my version
Check my google usb drivers and they are up to date.
I followed live code's step by step and no success. I am thinking that since I am running windows 7 not a Mac, maybe this cant be done. It seems all the developers run Mac's?
I even tried to make a .apk, It made the file but " There was a problem parsing the package" once I got it on my Galaxy tab. I made sure that I checked the box to allow programs to run on my tablet. So I am still stuck.
To see if the SDK is working correctly you could try to use the Android SDK emulator first.
Open the Android SDK Manager and select the menu Tools->Manage AVDs.
There you can create a virtual Android device and run it.
If the virtual device is running you can see the virtual device under "Development->Test Target in Livecode. Select it and either select "Test" under "Development" or press the "Test" button. Does this work?
That error message means that the operating system on your device is preventing the app from being installed. The most likely reason for this is that you haven't changed the "Allow installation of apps from Unknown Sources" setting on your Galaxy Tab. There are other reasons and solutions for this error message - to see them visit Panagiotis's excellent blog post on the LiveCode website, your error message is in the fifth example

Offline emulator for Google glass OS

I've found an online google glass emulator. Who knows does (or will) google provide any offline emulator for developers?
The Glass team is looking to provide an offline emulator for Glass, but this does not change the fact that you need Glass to develop for Glass. PY stated this at Google I/O 2013 - Voiding Your Warranty: Hacking Glass (33:40).
Try https://github.com/Scarygami/mirror-api it runs off GAE offline and it strings together Google's other existing API's.
I hope that helps.
I answered similar question here: Is there an Android based Google Glass Emulator?
I managed to install Glass APKs into Nexus 7 tablet. All the required steps are here:
