Hey Plaban,
Interesting 😀 The other way of doing is by using bluestacks and download the opera app from app store then launch it. Both ways we are using emulator only.
Looking forward for more awesome tutorials

Hi Suresh,
Yes, we can use BlueStack or YouWave for this purpose. But Android emulators are resource hungry, we need powerful system to run them smoothly. MicroEmulator is easy to use and works great on older computers.
Oh is it ? Then glad you mentioned the point of resource hungry. For the people who have low end PC/laptop they must try to use the one you mentioned.
Thanks for the post plaban.
Cheers
