[Commotion-dev] Tips on getting Android OS (and Commotion) working under VirtualBox

[Ben West]

I do see the SDK would effectively replicate the same environment one sees
under VirtualBox.  However, I am interested in VirtualBox, since I would
want the Android node to talk to other VirtualBox VMs, e.g. OpenWRT or
Ubuntu.  The basic goal is to use VirtualBox to (very crudely) simulate
something like a 3-node mesh.

So, I would like to use the inter-VM networking features VirtualBox has.
Does the Android SDK let you define an addressable IP for the virtual
machine, directly accessible to the host OS?
