I'm trying to figure out will my application work properly on a device with no telephony support (like most of modern tablets) and since I don't have any real device to test on I've tried to create an emulator instance and tell it something like hw.telephony=no but I failed. There are no such option in hardware preferences.
Is it possible to create such an emulator instance?
Maybe hw.gsmModem=no will act as no telephony support?
You need to create a Emulator with GSM modem support = no.
It is possible.
If your application makes calls, you need to add this to the Manifest:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
Beware as you will not have Internet access.. or at least I don't know how, as i'm trying to find out here: How to access the internet with an Emulator simulating Android Tablet without GSM
