I just get started with Android studio but I have ran into a problem
in the beginning stage of setup.
I have created my virtual device using AVD manager but whenever i hit 'run' button, it ask me to select device to run on but the drop box(Prefer android virtual device) doesnt show mine. what am i missing?enter image description here
I have added link of the pictures. i apology for the inconvinience. this site doesnt allow me to post pictures yet
The Nexus 4 API 27 is the virtual device that you have. If another device was successfully created, it would have been visible in the list.
Refer this Image
These options are used for operations that should be performed on your device Nexus 4 API 27
Your device is created and you can run your device using Run icon.
When hit run button , in Available Virtual Device Section your Device is Shown. Just select and Click OK

EDIT:
After searching for a while it seems that currently there is no way of creating a virtual device of a Fire TV
I am trying to create an amazon virtual device using AVD Manager, but I am not being able to find a correct image.
I followed the steps detailed here:
https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/devices/fire-tv/docs/setting-up-your-development-environment
But they dont specify anything about creating a test device.
Also here:
https://developer.amazon.com/public/resources/development-tools/ide-tools/tech-docs/testing-without-an-amazon-device
Says:
The steps described here cannot be used to simulate the Fire TV.
But never provides a link to a documentation about how to do it.
Could it be that there is not way to create a virtual Fire TV?
Thanks a lot!
I found an official document to test fire tv application without devices, see this link, I just list the important steps as follows:
To set up an Android TV emulator for your app:
Go to Tools > Android > AVD Manager, or click the AVD Manager button on the top navigation bar.
Click the + Create Virtual Device button. Note: You can select one of the default TV profiles, or you can customize the settings by
following the steps below. If you select a default TV profile, skip
ahead to step 12 where you select a system image.
In the Category column, select TV.
Click the New Hardware Profile button.
In the Device Name, type something like fire_tv_emulator. (Avoid using parentheses in the name, as this may cause errors.)
For the Device Type, select Android TV.
For the Screen size, type the screen size you want (for example, 40).
For the Resolution, type the resolution you want (for example, 1280 x 720).
For the Supported device states, select only Landscape (clear the Portrait check box).
Click Finish.
In the “Choose a device definition” dialog box, select the emulator you just created and click Next.
In the Release Name column, select at least Marshmallow API Level 23 or higher. If you haven’t downloaded this system image yet, click
Download to download it. (If you select API Level 22 or lower, media
playback will fail in the emulator.)
Click Next and then click Finish.
I just downloaded Android Studio and am completely lost. I have tried to get the Android Virtual Device working but my laptop processor (i3) seems to not be working and takes a very long time to load and does not load the android correctly. Any help is appreciated.I have completed the steps to create a virtual device but when I click the 'play' button, a black phone comes out without the features.
I'm getting started with Android development and with Genymotion. It's difficult to get Genymotion to install a .apk and run it more than once. Here's what I'm doing:
Begin with Genymotion running.
Press Genymotion icon in Elipse.
See Genymotion Virtual Devices Manager. Note that State of my VM is on
Create a new Android Project
Press the green Run button
See Run As dialog. Select Android Application
See Android Device Chooser. Select Genymotion_nexus_one
See hello world app run. Press GM home button
From here if I change the app, it's difficult to get the app to re-display in the emulator:
Drag a button to activity_main.xml. Save.
Press the green Run button
Nothing happens
To get the app to re-display requires jiggle the Handle type actions:
If I Clear the console log or bring up the GM Virtual Devices manager, before I press the Run button, the app will generally display in Genymotion.
Any ideas how to make Genymotion behave without Jiggling the handle?
I'm running the latest SDK: 20131030 on OSX 10.7.5
Drag drop apk on Genemotion emulator ,it will automatically installs and creates a shortcut.enjoy.
run in command-prompt :
adb install your_app_name.apk
:-)
Solved:
Since installing the adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030, I'd never right-clicked the Run button to display the drop-down menu there. Having done that once, pressing the Run button now brings up Android Device Chooser every time (as it should).
When I first ran into this problem, I reinstalled adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030 and Genymotion. I saw no change in behavior. This appears to be a minor bug in this version of adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030
In Android Studio, if you run your project (shift+F10) when Genymotion virtual device is running; you'll see the device in connected devices list in Select Deployment Target window.
I am running a performance test for my android application, want to know whether it is possible to run multiple emulators at once in Eclipse?
If yes, how do i go about doing it?
Create multiple emulators
Change android project run configuration, target as manual selection instead of auto.
Right click on android project -> Run As -> Run Configuration.
On Run configuration window select the project under Android application [at right panel]
Then select Target tab at left panel, and select manual option. that all..
Now whenever you run that selected project, the eclipse will pop up the window with list of running emulators and devices..
To run more than one emulator
1. Open AVD manager
2. select emulator
3. click on start -> launch
You can run multiple emulators by just calling run again, then in the panel "Android Device Chooser" you can choose another Android Virtual Device. To add new Android Virtual Devices to your Android virtual device manager, just click the device manager button on the bar at the top of eclipse, then in the next screen click new and create a new virtual device. The virtual devices go kind of slowly if there are many of them, but you can use multiple emulators this way.
Open AVD Manager. Create multiple AVD/emulator and run them.
Got to the link for help http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/devices/index.html
I have started a new emulator from 'launch new emulator' . But when I run another project later another emulator is getting loaded . Actually I wanted to use the same emulator itself.I there any option to reuse the same emulator and prevent new emulator being launched automatically.
Instead of Run use Run>Run Configurations>Target>Manual and manually select the AVD that is already launched.
I often have this problem when i both have the physical device( a real phone) plugged in the pc and an emulator. You can put the devices list near the console and logcat views, so you can select here the right device to use (install the app and show the logcat).
Go in window -> show view -> other -> devices.
From there you can select which device to use (if nothing is selected, a new emulator is run following the target option you set following Mangusto's answer)
You can select the emulator that you wish to make default from windows->android sdk manager->
edit the virtual device from that you can select skin you want. or set the dimension.
I think this can help you
Go to Run > Edit Configurations, choose your run configuration on the left side, check Use same device for future launches checkbox.
