Is it possible to have a working TenderConnector on the Android Emulators distributed by Google?

I don't know much about custom tenders. But if you are launching it from the Secure Payments app you would need a devkit to test it anyway as that app is not available on an emulator - https://docs.clover.com/clover-platform/docs/setting-up-an-android-emulator.

Custom tenders should work on emulators. Anything that requires a card transaction will not work since there's no hardware to read cards.

Customer-facing custom tenders will not render on an emulator because an emulator does not have a customer-facing display. Merchant-facing tenders should render in the Sale and Payment app.

If you are having trouble, start by posting the error you are getting and your logcat.


Android Emulators distributed by Google?

Make sure you are using the non-Google Play emulator images. Clover does not support Google Play. It probably won't effect Clover apps on an emulator, but you may end up depending on something offered by Google that won't be present on real Clover devices.

This is the exception I get on the Android Emulator. The same code that generates this exceptions works on the Clover Station 2018 Dev Kit
