Is there a way to give an emulator a name in Android Studio?
In the emulator pull-down box in Android Studio, the emulators created from AVD manager are labelled simply: "Android SDK built for x86 (mobile)(emulator-nnnn)", where n is an integer.
If you're running multiple emulators, this isn't very helpful. Is there a way to rename each emulator to something more helpful? For example, when I created each emulator, they have names of e.g. "Pixel 4 API 29", and "Nexus 5 API 24" - why aren't these used?
Update: Two screenshots show what I mean. In the top one, the "Nexus 5 API" has been selected; yet it shows as "Android SDK etc". If I select e.g. "Pixel 4 etc", it shows as exactly the same (it actually has an emulator number added that only shows when you open the pull-down).
Of course you can edit the name of your AVD.
In the AVD Manager, clic on the pen to the right to edit your configuration and then, you can rename your AVD
Edit: There names are correctly shown in the pull-down menu, even if launched
Well what #Bruno said is the easiest way, if it does not work that way you can either try this one, is a little bit tricky though.
In case you use Mac that's an example of how to do it, if you do not use Mac let me know and I'll put the steps to do it on Windows / Linux
Open in Finder
user.name/.android/avd/
Pd: To be able to show the hidden files press ⌘ + ⇧ + .
Find your emulator, in my case I'll show this one :
Open the Pixel_4_API_30_-_Android_11.avd folder (in your case will be different) and open config.ini file and change these two params (AvdId,avd.ini.displayname)
And now restart your IDE and it should be updated.
I'm sure you could change more names, but to ensure the functionality of the emulator, I wouldn't touch too much if you do not know what you are changing.
Let me know if it works :)
You can not change the device name "emulator-nnnn" from Android Studio as that name belongs to the device. This is the name that you see in "adb devices" output.
For a real device, you have to change its name by opening the Settings app from the device.
For an emulator, in theory you can do the same, you open the Settings app inside the emulator when emulator is running. But I haven't tested this because my emulator is very slow.
I have recently downloaded android studio and whenever i create my virtual device it shows completely blank and it doesn't boot up or something like that enter image description here
you may need to update emulator from sdk manager and update graphic card driver
also you can try this:
when creating new emulator (or you can edit a created emulator) go to:
advanced > Emulated Performance > Graphics
and change it to: software
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 am completely new to Android Development and have got stuck at the very first point. I want to create a AVD for the Samsung Galaxy S2 but am not able to do so. I found many articles and questions on stack overflow like: Samsung Galaxy S II AVD (Android Virtual Device) Basic Settings? and others but they all pertain to previous versions. I tried to map them to this one but was not able to do so.
(For the above link, i got the result that unable to load device and it did not show up in device settings under AVD after i chenged the device.xml file)
Any help in this regard?
Thanks
Have no idea how but after complete un-install followed by reinstall all works fine. Also, i installed the latest version
I would suggest you to open the same link here!
I would suggest you some basic steps:
Go to Windo
Select =>AVD manager
Click on Device Defination
select New Device
Create new Devices (fill out)
Hit Create Device
Open the file C:\Users[user name].android\devices.xml in your favorite XML editor
follow step 6 of the link
follow step 1 to 3 of this list
select your device name (Samsung Galaxy II) in your case
close the AVD manager and follow the steps 8,9 and 10 from link.
I am only summarizing the points from the link and give you a quick heads up from the beginning in easy way:
hope it helps:)

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
