How To Turn Your Computer into an Android Tablet

 


Once you start using an Android device, a lot of your daily activities tend to rely on it. You can chat, get notifications regarding your email, create notes, and do many more things with your Android device. However, whenever you’re working on your PC, sometimes it becomes troublesome to check your Android every time it beeps or whenever you need to access files in it. For this reason, technology has made it
easier for you to access your Android device from your PC.






1
Using the USB Cable
Connect your Android to your PC. Get the USB cable that came with your Android device. Take the smaller end and insert it into the port at the bottom of the Android device.
  • Take the larger end and insert it into a vacant USB port on your computer.
  • The USB icon and “Connected as Media Device” will appear on the notification bar of your Android device. By default your Android device will be connected in the Media Device Mode (MTP), which allows you to transfer media files to your computer and access the files of your phone through your PC.

2
Access your Android. Your phone is now in USB mass storage mode, so it will appear as a USB disk drive on your PC. Access it by opening a file explorer, and double-clicking the device’s name under “Devices with Removable Storag





3
Navigate to your files. Once you’re in the Android’s memory storage, you can navigate to any file or folder in it by double-clicking them.
  • You can even cut, copy, move, and paste new files directly in your phone’s storage.
There are tons of good reasons that you might want to use Android on your desktop. Perhaps your favorite game is only available on Android, or maybe you use a messaging service that doesn't have a Windows companion app.
Whatever the reason, if you've ever found yourself wishing there was a way to run Android on your computer, you needn't look any further. Andy, an Android shell for Windows (coming soon for Linux and Mac), makes using Android apps and games on your computer incredibly easy.


The developer expects to have a Mac-compatible version released very soon (with Linux to follow), so keep checking back if you use an Apple computer.
The next release promises to bring gaming control via any Android phone, allowing you to play a game using Andy with your phone as a game controller, so PC users should keep an eye out for future updates on Andyroid.net as well.
