I have a flutter app that builds and runs fine on Pixel 4a, but apparently fails to start on Pixel 5. I want to test this on a Pixel 5 emulator, but I can't find how to add it to Android Studio anywhere.
I downloaded the preview release of Android Studio and followed the other steps in the link in the answer to this question, but there is no Pixel 5 there.
Any ideas?
I just created a profile. In Android Studio:
Open AVD manager
Click New Hardware Profile
Enter suitable device name e.g. "Pixel 5 API 30"
Screen size is 6.0", Resolution is 1080 x 2340
In the Default Skin dropdown, try Pixel 4 XL (this adds the black surround to the AVD. Note that if you use "No skin", it doesn't add the surround shape to the resulting AVD, but you get a useful heading at the top showing its name)
I accepted the rest of the defaults
Click Finish
Click Next to get to System Image dialog
Select suitable image e.g. R - API 30
Click Next
Click Finish
It appears that there is no great option to get a Pixel 5 emulator. Google's document, titled Set up Android Emulator to run Android 11 does not mention the Pixel 5, and the emulator has not been updated since the release of the Pixel 5.
You may be able to access one through a service like Corellium, or, create a custom hardware profile in Android Studio.
Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) has an emulator for Pixel 5.
However, it does not have an emulator for Pixel 5a (which I just bought).
I will try creating a new hardware profile for my 5a...

I am on Android Studio Chipmunk (2021.2.1 Patch 2) and using the Pixel 5 emulator.
I have an Android app that allows the user to enter the gallery and select photos - one or many. Using the Pixel 3 emulator everything works like it should. I can grab as many or as few images as I like. Just click to leave a blue check and when done, select done. Also worked fine on the Pixel 3 physical phone I had at the time.
With the Pixel 5 emulator it allows me to select 1 image only. Long click does nothing. Any tips or tricks to get the emulator to allow the user to select in excess of 1 image?
I'm on a MacBook
In lieu of finding a more recent pixel to use I created a new device in device manager that is a "phone" running on API 33. Multiple select worked just fine on this "custom" device. I was able to accomplish the testing of the code on a more recent version of the API, which was my goal. Not sure what is up with the Pixel 5 emulator but there is a workaround.
I'm using Android Studio 3.6.2 and have Android R preview installed. Running Android Emulator 30.0.5. When I try to create a virtual device (From AVD) Pixel 4 is not listed.
I have followed the instructions on setting up a new emulator and have read this reddit post which links to this issue tracker. Someone posted that it might land late this year. But I have an immediate need to test Face ID. Is it possible to use the Pixel 4 in the Android Emulator?
I don't think it's listed. You'll have to just make a custom pixel 4 with that hardware profile. And there will be no skin. The 3 is too small for the 4.
I think I have installed all the system images required for android m preview, but still my emulator is showing nothing, its always blank. Please help me
After Suggestion i have downloaded the other requirements, but still its not working
You have sufficient files to create the emulator might be you are editing the existing emulator, i suggest try to create a new emulator, and try to keep the Ram consumption lower to get better performance.
Refer from the above link you can create your new emulator by following below steps
Step-1: Go to Android SDK folder and run AVD Manager. Click on Create
Note: Use default value for Max VM application heap. As Android supports variety of displays, you can explore with different devices by selecting in Device: dropdown
Step-2: Select the virtual device which you just now created and click Start
Step-3: Do not make any change under Launch Options and click on Launch button
Step-4: Emulator will start a few Command Prompt windows flicker. You should now see the following screen, with the Android device booting up, which will take about five minutes
Step-5: You should now see a screen saying Emulator has been successfully installed
Your Windows/Mac PC should now be ready to get started with the Developer Preview.
Go to Android SDK manager you need to download the Android m preview section.Then follow these steps
Step 1: Run AVD Manager and click on Create.
Note : Select a small resolution screen if your RAM is low.It will be a plus in case of performance part.
Step 2:Enter the Ram value to 1Gb if your system(Computer)RAM is about 4gb or RAM value as 2gb your system(Computer)RAM is about 6gb or 8gb.
Step 3:Select the device which you created now, press Start and select Launch Button.
Step 4:You should get a alert box showing that Successfully installed.
Step 5:An android device with android device booting up screen will be appeared and it will take time depending upon the RAM you allocated at the time of creating the Android Device in AVD.
NOTEmake sure not to run too many another programs while you trying to launch or using the emulator.(make sure the IDE is uptodate)
Happy Android M Preview....
If you want to create MNC(Android M Preview) emulators, you could follow these steps:
1, Of course, downloads MNC System images. Open SDK Manager, select images like Android TV Intel x86 Atom System Image, ARM 64 v8a System Image, ARM EABI v7a System Image and something like that.
2, open AVD Manager by clicking the button on the top of Android Studio. Then you will see "Your Virtual Devices" window.
3, Click the button of "Create Virtual Device" at the left bottom of the window. Then you will see "Select Hardware" window.
4, then select the category and name of the emulator you want, and then "Next".
5, if you have succeeded downloading MNC System Images, you will see them from the "API Level"
6, and then click "Next", you will see "Android Virtual Device(AVD)" window, you can change settings if you want to.
7, click "Finish" and wait, util emulators are prepared.
I had the same problem,
I copied the system image from the default directory:
C:\Users\eli\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\system-images\android-MNC\default\arm64-v8a
to the image root dir:
C:\Users\eli\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\system-images\android-MNC\arm64-v8a
I restarted eclise, and now, I could see the android M and the arm64 system image.
I just installed the latest Android ADT bundle from the developer site. It's version v21.0.0.
Now I wanted to test my tablet app (designed for 10.1" xlarge mdpi) in the emulator, but I cannot get any software buttons for home/back/...
Here's my device configuration. This config is afterwards assigned to the avd.
Hardware-buttons don't work as well (you cannot set hardware buttons in a tablet-like emulator).
The target api is level 15 (android 4.0.3).
Open AVD Manager , then check you device , click edit , then in the Hardware you can see Add button , click on it , and check all what you want there. But there can be a problem , that for example you choose some device who don't have any buttons home or something , I mean these buttons are in the screen , not out of this , for example like this
this may be a stupid question, but I've been doing Android Development for quite some time but just installed the new version of the SDK and ADT Eclipse plugin.
I've noticed that when I create a new AVD I can choose a specific device, I.e. Nexus 7 or Nexus Phone. I've selected the Galaxy Nexus but the emulator doesn't fit on the screen so I can't see the bottom of the device. At the moment I'm working on my Desktop which has a 21 inch monitor (1600 x 900) not the most highest spec in the world but I want to be able to fit the device on the screen. I also have a secondary screen which I usually keep the emulator on so I can see the code and the emulator, handy for debugging purposes, but this screen is much smaller and only has a resolution of 1280 x 800. At the moment, it would be impossible to press on the back and home buttons, and if I do development on my laptop, which is obviously a much smaller screen, probably wouldn't be able to see most of the device, as the AVD doesn't seem to scale to fit the screen.
Is there a way that this can be done. Below is a screen shot of how the device looks on my screen.
Right click your project -> Run Configuration -> select target -> in additional emulator command line option text box, type '-scale 0.75' and run your app
For those using Ionic CLI or other solutions, the following worked for me:
ionic run android -scale=0.75
In Android Studio, the option is set in the AVD Manager, under "Startup size and orientation".
