Hello i'm using Android studio version 4.1
I'm having a problem when Open android emulator, the size of the device is too big and the screen is only displaying on the top left corner.(see attached screenshot)
I have already tried:
-changing the device
-changing the system image
-changing the screen size in by editing the device in the AVD manager
-changing the dimensions by editing the device in the AVD manager
Nothing worked, could you please help me.
Excuse me if I didn't get the question - you should be able to resize the emulator by dragging the corners of the device. Please see the screen shot where the blue dots are located for example.
Run the Emulator,
open Task Manager and find this Emulator's process
Right click on it and pick Open File Location
Once you are at the file location, right click on that file and Open Properties
go to Compatibility tab
choose Change High DPI Setting
Mark the Checkbox saying Override high DPI Scaling behavior and Choose System from the dropdown
Worked for me! Hope it works.

A friend of mine (who doesn't have enough reputation to post images) is facing a problem with his emulator. It is not rendering as it should, even though the clicks are where they should be. In order to click on the Back button, he must click down in the black part of the "screen".
He already tried to restart his computer, change monitor resolutions and creating another emulator images.
He uses KDE and is using his NVidia hardware to process graphics.
My answer from this post: Android emulator screen fills up only some fraction part of actual android emulator screen
Best and simplest way to do it on Windows 10:
Close your Android Emulator if it is open
Right-click desktop
Click Display Settings
Set Scale and layout to 100%
Open Android Emulator
Revert your Scale and layout to the (Recommended) percentage
WORKS 100%
You can fix the scaling issue when using the Hardware rendering by simply making windows override the scaling setting. How?, it's very easy. Simply locate the .exe file for the emulator that you are using, (e.g. "qemu-system-armel.exe" for ARM and "qemu-system-x86_64.exe" for x86). To make sure which .exe file, just run the emulator then use task manager to locate the .exe file is running, see the screenshot. locate the .exe file using task manager
In my case it was in this location: "C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\qemu\windows-x86_64\qemu-system-x86_64.exe"
Now just right click on the file then click on properties then choose the "Compatibility" tab. Under "Settings" at the bottom, click on "Change high DPI settings". A new window will open. Tick the last checkbox "Override high DPI scaling behavior." under "High DPI scaling override". Then select from the drop down below it "System" (this is very important or it will not make any difference!), see the screenshot below. Now just hit OK and OK. Restart Android Studio and that's it, problem solved :)
I can successfully run the DDMS screen capture either via the DDMS.bat file or via eclipse however the screen size in the vertical direction seems fixed at about 1024 pixels.
My laptop is a bit small with a screen size of 1366x768. If I attach a VGA monitor running at 1280x1024 then this portrait view just barely fits. I can rotate the view and display within my 1366 landscape view but was hoping there was a way to change the view size.
The problem is that I need to make a demo of this with my laptop connected to a projector. The projector will be behind me thus I prefer to duplicate my (smaller) main screen (the 1366x768) onto the projector.
From within Eclipse:
1.Go to Window -> Android SDK and AVD Manager -> Virtual Devices
2.Select the AVD you want to launch and click Start
3.Check the "Scale display to real size" button
4.Enter how big you want it to appear in inches and press Launch.
usually, 8 works great
I am using a Eclipse to build a simple android app. After following the steps given in previous answers to change the screen size, when I run the the app it still defaults to the standard size. This size is lager than my screen making it hard to work with. run/run configurations/target allow you to choose a target and adjust the target to the correct size. If you run from this screen it will open the emulator in the correct size, but not actually run the app. run/run (crt + f11) will then open the app in the default large size seemingly not applying the changes. If any one has a solution I would appreciate it. Thanks
start your AVD from AVD manager and then select scale display to real size and then give the screen size to 3 and click start/lunch.
I have an Android presentation coming up and would like to get some screenshots of my application. Thing is, I'd like to have a screenshot of the phone with the app running on it.
I could use a camera and take a pic of a droid phone+app, but seems to me the AVD used to run inside a picture of the Nexus phone. Just wondering if it's an Eclipse config option somewhere?
Thanks!
Try using image editing software to superimpose the screenshot into an image of the phone. That's what the designers I work with do when they need to make PR screenshots.
run the DDMS from the location where ever you have installed the Android and then chose Device menu and screen capture
just do alt+printscreen from keyboard keep in mind AVD is focused you will get screen shot of AVD..
I want to create a virtual device (nexus one) with wvga800, 800x480 but when I do, I can't see the whole screen on my 13" macbook pro, and I can't scroll down to see the bottom of the screen. How can I see the bottom of my virtual phone screen???
thanks,
You can scale your emulator window, to more closely match the actual device size. This is an option when you run the emulator from the Android SDK and AVD Manager. This is the window you get from running the android command, or from Window|Android SDK and AVD Manager in Eclipse.
Not only will this give you an emulator window closer in size to what the actual device is (so you do not assume people can necessarily click on too-small buttons, etc.), but it will also fit your screen.
This is actually possible from your project as well, no need to start the emulator through the manager:
1) go to Run > Run Configurations... > (Select your application on the left hand side) > (Click the "Target" tab on the right hand side).
2) At the bottom there, you'll see 'Emulator launch parameters'. In the 'additional emulator command line options', add '-scale 0.75' (to make the screen 75% of full size)
Next time you start the emulator it will have scaled properly, hooray!
Ok, I found it, you have to START the emulator from the AVD Manager, after you hit the 'START' button, another window pops up allowing you to set the size of the emulator display.
If you run a project from eclipse, you will not get that screen to set the size of the emulator.
To view full emulator make use of it's full screen mode using alt+enter keys on windows & Linux. But, for mac I'm not sure b'cos i have not checked for it; it has to be same like making your media player window full screen. Please do check for mac & update my post.
