I've made a Bluetooth chat application on Android and I need to test it, but I do not own an Android phone so I am dependent on an emulator for all my testing purposes. Is there a way for me to test Bluetooth-based applications on an Android emulator? I am using Eclipse for development. I'd like to run 2 emulators simultaneously and see if my chat application is working properly or not.
Also, how can I integrate the new emulator with Eclipse?

Fortunately, there is a way out - Install the Android image on a VM and use your own Bluetooth device. Follow these Steps:

i am tired if searching the answer for this question and finally i got the solution out of my personal experience.
Under settings of the virtual machine,goto serialports -> Port 1
now,start virtual machine.
Under Devices -> USB Devices ->you can find your laptop bluetooth listed.
You can simply check the option and start testing the android bluetooth application .
this worked for me . Hope you find the solution.

Problem:
I received a USB-Dongle for licensing a software product. My goal is to use the software in my virtual machine on VMWare Workstation. (Because i need to access the API of the software in my development machine) Sadly i'm unable to connect the dongle to my virtual machine. My VMWare Workstation menu lists the device under 'VM > Removable Devices' but when i try to connect the device, it shows the following error:
The connection for the USB device xxx was unsuccessful.
The device is currently in use.
What i did until now:
I installed the custom drivers that came with the dongle on my host and my guest operating system. The dongle's red led then started flashing, indicating that the device is operational now (sadly only for the host). I tried different things like
Bluetooth Vmware Guameguard Not Run Full
Sadly i do not have an idea how to get the device through to the VM. Do you know if there is a possible way to achieve that, or should i contact the vendor of the device with this problem? (Which i'd preferably like to avoid)
Some additional information about versions and stuff:
If you need any further information that would help answering this question, feel free to comment!

Although the question is a few months old, this might help, or help someone else.
Try a different approach. Instead of trying to attach the USB dongle, which it sounds like you can't get to work, use pass-through on the USB controller itself (or add a small cheap USB card and then pass through the PCI device for the card), so your VM gets exclusive unmodified control of the USB hub/controller itself. That way your VM gets an unmodified view of any devices attached to it.
You won't be able to connect/disconnect the dongle from host as usual (because the hub itself is grabbed for that VM) but that's rarely if ever a problem because most PCs have multiple USB controllers, and adding another is very cheap, and you can manually move the device to a USB port that's not passed through. Should work for any USB device.

Stuck on the same problem on a Virtual Machine created with VMWare and (old CodeMeter version: CodeMeter-6.20.2147-500
I realize that something is wrong when command
/usr/bin/cmu --list-content wasn't showing local CmContainers
Installing the latest and the greatest CodeMeter (downloaded from their website) solved the issue.I had as OS Mageia 6 x86_64 (rpm based) and command did the job:
Hope this answer will help other users.
