Hi, Thanks for the reply. I created an AVD as mentioned. When i invoke the AVD, it still has the default android browser(com.android.browser.apk) in it and not the Silk Browser.

Hi Varunprakash, Sorry for delay in getting back to you. We have received your ContactUs related to this issue and it is already been taken care.

Hi, I'm looking to do the same thing and followed the steps quoted above. When/how can I get the SILK browser running instead of the stock browser on an emulator? The standard sdk still does not appear to have silk as a part of the package.

Hi Corey, Silk browser is not available for Kindle Emulators. Thanks.
