With your virtual machine created, it’s time to install Android on it. From the VirtualBox man screen, click “Settings - Storage,” then the little CD icon with the “+” icon on it, and click “Choose disk.”. In the new window select the ISO for the Android image you just downloaded, Open, then select it from the “Storage Tree.

Change to the root directory of the sources and execute the configure script.

Hello everyone.I have been struggling for the whole day now to get an Android emulation running while establishing a Bluetooth connection.
This is the setup:
Host is Mac OS X 10.14.1 running VirtualBox 6.0.
Guest is an Android 7.1 32bit version I got from android-x86[dot]org
Just for completeness: While installing the virtual Android system I ran into some issues loading the GUI while booting.
I followed some solution on Stackoverflow to boot in VESA mode. (I can post to link to that after 1 day and 1 post if you want....)
Anyway the OS is running inside VirtualBox so far and I was able to install the application of my choice.
Now to the problem enabling Bluetooth.
Android Virtualbox Macos
What is working: I see my Bluetooth module inside the USB devices in VB and I am also able to select it.I tested this on an Ubuntu 16.04 64bit virtual machine... and see: no problem enabling Bluetooth in the OS and scanning for devices.
However, when I am in the Android system all options to enable Bluetooth do not respond at all (neither the quick access nor preferences BT settings will do anything).
I do not have any clue why BT would work in Ubuntu but not in Android.
Any hints?

Edit: The guest additions are not installed on the Android system (and to my understanding are not possible to be installed).
