I am using the 2.3.3 version of Android Studio in Windows 10. In AVD every virtual device is able to run all verisons of android except Oreo. After starting the emulator with Android 8.0( API level 26) the ram usage of emulator stops around 400-410MB and then nothing happens, just a mobile screen with black screen even without a loading animation. How can I fix this problem?
Step 1- Made a new emulator(Any).
Step 2- then fixed another problem the black screen by changing the settings to use hardware graphics.(Dunno if this problem was related to the bug)

I am facing an issue with the Android emulator.
When the emulator boots up everything is fine, regardless the default display orientation.
When I press one of the buttons to change the display orientation, the emulator window rotates but, the content is completely messed up.
See the pic below.
The same happens with all the AVDs I have created and with different android images.
I've already reinstalled/updated the emulator from package manager.
Any idea about why this is happening?
The work environment is:
Mac OS Big Sur,
Android Studio v4.1.1
Android emulator v30.2.6
Thank you for your help.
This was a bug in the Google Android Emulator version 30.2.x.
It was fixed in version 30.3.5 (approximately 8 January 2021). Apply the update like this:
Stop or Force Quit all the running AVD emulators
Android Studio ➔ Tools ➔ SDK Manager ➔ SDK Tools (click this tab in the middle of the dialog) ➔ Android Emulator
The status should say "Update Available"
Click the Checkbox so that it will change from a horizontal line to a checkmark, and so that the download symbol appears on the left.
Click the Apply or OK button
It should download version 30.3.5 or higher, for "Android Emulator".
After the upgrade is applied, relaunch your emulators.
Try running the emulator inside Android Studio. Go to settings-tools-emulator and check the box there to run the emulator inside Android Studio. When you rotate it after it should rotate faster than in the AVD's standalone application, and not break the display. This should fix the broken display problem, without making a new AVD. Make sure you have updated to the most recent version of Android Studio first, v4.1.
The android emulator defaults to have auto rotate turned off. Turn on auto rotate the normal way you would on your phone and it will work.
Android added a way to deal with devices that have a notch/cutout at the top of the screen. (See Android and Xamarin.Android.) But as far as I can tell, Android automatically takes care of lowering the views so that they aren't obscured by the notch, so why do we need this new addition?
I tested my Android app on the emulator of a device with a notch and the app automatically goes below the notch without the need to specify layoutInDisplayCutoutMode as LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_NEVER.
So my question is, when would I need to use LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_NEVER?
In Xamarin that would be:
Window.Attributes.LayoutInDisplayCutoutMode = Android.Views.LayoutInDisplayCutoutMode.Never;
I'm running this on the Android Emulator through Visual Studio on a Windows computer. The emulator is emulating a Pixel 3 XL with Android Pie 9.0 (API 28). The app is an Android app created with Xamarin.Forms.
When you are creating a view, which uses full screen for showing content at that time notch display sometime hide/cut your top content.
To prevent this android provides support for this above android pie.
Refer to this document.

I've just begun Android development and set up my Android Studio and Emulator up with minimum version of the project API as KitKat and maximum version as Oreo (8.0). I created an empty activity to start of with and wanted to test it out but when I run it I only get the following screen (it is literally transparent):
I've already changed my emulated performance graphics to Hardware - GLES 2.0. I've also tried cold booting and cancelling the saved state but to no avail. Here are the other AVD settings:
I would appreciate any help as I am very eager to get started. Thank you!
Okay try to create a new virtual device.
And if then also it doesn't work then you can also run your application on your real device
I updated Android Studio and now I got some problems. My emulator is pink and is zooming in automatically.
The pink and zooming in effect You experienced is a result of Skin. You can change the skin inside Android Virtual Device Manager, under Edit of Your emulator.
In Android Studio go to,
Tools\Android\AVD Manager\
In AVD Manager window, edit the desired emulator, then as below shot illustrates choose "No Skin".
Android Default Emulator is very slow.
Try Genymotion with android studio plugin.
It is faster than default and easy to use. You just have to create a free Individual account.
Also to increase speed of default emulator increase the heap size

Android emulator - Screen rotation
(5 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
If I open a browser in emulator and press Ctrl+F11 or F9 or Ctrl+F11, the screen rotates but browser doesn't.
To test I downloaded a native app and installed it on my emulator and phone both. The app catches the rotation of phone but on emulator similar thing happened.
I googled it and read few posts on Stackoverflow, I found that its a bug in Emulator of particular version.
But which version of emulator runs it fine?
I simply downloaded the adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702 and I have eclipse(juno) with it. Eclipse has Andoird SDK Manager inside it, which helped me to chose the latest APIs, SDK tools etc. I downloaded those, what did I miss that doesn't support rotation.
I also read that if I if uncheck Hardware keyboard Present then it would work but it didn't.
I also tried by uncheck Host GPU, no luck.
Finally I was told that need to specify in AndroidManifest.xml that I want to support both landscapeand portrait both. But I have not created any android project in eclipse I simply created a device and now checking its rotation with its own browser and by installing a apk file from internet.
Are there any concrete steps/tested way that work out screen rotation on android emulator?
But which version of emulator runs it fine?
4.3 (API Level 18) and below.

Download an emulator image for Android 4.3 (API Level 18) or below, create an emulator from it, and use that. You will find emulator images in your SDK Manager:
In the above screenshot, you will see API Level 17 and 18 emulator images towards the bottom of the picture.
Your problem can be solved by changing one setting as given below:
Open Menu
Goto Settings
Goto Accessibility
Check the check box for "Auto-rotate screen".
This may solve your issue.
