Does Selendroid require an android device? - selendroid

Does Selendroid allow developers to run tests in a simulator or does the developer need an Android device?
I am working on Mac, and I don't own an Android device, so I'm debating if Selendroid is a framework I can work with.

Trigger a Windows Runtime background task from Windows 10 Desktop

I have a Windows 10 Desktop application that needs to use a Windows Runtime API.
Solutions I tried:
Enabling Windows Runtime libraries from within my Windows Desktop application – the API was available but failed;
using the API in a Windows Runtime background task. There I have not found a reliable trigger so far. The best would be to trigger the background task from my Windows Desktop application.
start the Windows Runtime App from Desktop application using the IApplicationActivationManager – works fine, but the suddenly popup of an screen that disappears after few seconds will annoy the customer;
For solution 2., Is there a way to trigger a Windows Runtime background task from my Desktop app?
Issue solved by using AppServices, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/windows.applicationmodel.appservice.aspx

Can you display a PhoneGap app as a Screencast in Chrome Developer Tools

Can't find an answer to this anywhere.
We have a prototype PhoneGap app that we deploy to Android devices. Using Chrome Developer tools we can debug it using the normal tools edit CSS etc and it will change the display on the device.
This is all great but I was wondering is there a way to use the screencast tool that displays your phone screen within developer tools for a phonegap app. From what I can tell it on;y seems to be able to pick up sites open in Chrome on the android device.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashley
Screencasting of WebViews is not supported at this time.
Maybe it's not exactly what you are looking for, but it helped me when troubleshooting:
Depending on the toolset you are using, you can try to access your local webserver on your development machine from the chrome browser on your android device. For this to work, the phone must be in your network (Wi-Fi).
I'm developing a PhoneGap app using Visual Studio and configured my environment to allow access from remote computers, see this blog post.
I also ran this command for my 'web site', found on the blog of Scott Hanselman:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express>IisExpressAdminCmd.exe
setupFriendlyHostnameUrl -url:http://yourcomputername:555/
Finally I was able to use the Screencasting feature, using the chrome browser from android.
Except that I was not able to use hardware features such as NFC, using the app via the browser felt the same.
For other environments, the procedure to enable remote access should be similar.

Which Windows Mobile emulator is the best?

I have Windows 7 system. I need a free downloadable Windows Mobile emulator for testing my mobile webpages. I have downloaded and tried to use Cellular Emulator, which is asking for Visual Studio. Can you recommend a user-friendly Windows Mobile (version 7) emulator which does not require Visual Studio? If so, please provide the link. Thank you.
Here you can test everything on several Lumia Devices:
Remote Device Access for Nokia Lumia
Some devices you can access:
Microsoft themselves provide the best emulator (which I used extensively). It is much better than any open third-party emulator.
