I want to access Android API classes outside an Android project. For example is it possible to get an object to the Context of the device connected to a machine or the running emulator?
This will allow access to a system services like PowerManager or ActivityManager outside an Android device. If not via Context object, is there any other way to access the system services for a device/avd outside Android?
No way. Distributed android API classes are merely stubs good enough to compile against them.
Even most innocent stuff is stubbed out to throw RuntimeException on invocation. If you like to know status of the system, you will have to use SDK tools. Or write app exposing android objects via some remote access technology
