I'm fairly new to android development.
I can launch the app in the emulator, but cannot proceed further.
Its 'add account' button do nothing.
Does this app run only on device?
How do I regiter an account for this app? would any google account suffice?
Yes some functionality possible only on device, but you can try also BlueStacks App Player which has more possibilities than Android emulator.
