I am using Android Studio version 2.2.3 and since I have installed it There is no device frame included when we have a preview(as shown in the image). I have tried a lot but there seems to be no option to include a device frame.
Just lost the device skin after updating Android Emulator.
I fixed it by manually editing the AVD config.ini and adding:
skin.name=pixel_4
skin.path=D:\sdk\skins\pixel_4
Posting this so I can find the answer faster next time it happens and maybe help others, it seems it is still a valid bug even with Android Studio Chipmunk
There is no device frame included from the newer version by the Android Studio itself. But, you can still use a skin while using AVD.
DEVICE FRAME CAN BE VIEW BY
1- Click on designer preview window
2 - press F button from your keyboard
this will enable and disable the designer preview device frame every time you press F button from your keyboard.

Hey guys I just updated Android Studio, I am glad that they finally fixed the bug where you could not open up the Device Manager. However they changed the look of it and it now comes inside AS or as a much much larger window (see my screenshot).
Is there a way to make it look like it was before? So just the Device with its frame and not that huge window around it? Also Crtl+M doesnt work and Crtl+Upkey/Downkey do not change the size of the emulator like it used to.
Go to Preferences of Android Studio
Search for emulator, or navigate to tools -> Emulator
Uncheck the Launch in a tool window
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.
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
The story is that I developed an Android program with Android 4.4.2. But some problems was found after installing the program to a device with Android 5.1.1. So I tried to download Android 5.1.1 for my SDK to debug the problem. Then the AVD I kept on using becomes like a mess no matter I changed to different configuration (see picture 1). My AVD configuration is as picture 2.
Hope someone could help... Thank you so much!

Got a temporary way to solve it and don't know if it is correct.
Set the skin to "no skin".
There is another problem happened now. The control bar of that window shows out of the screen. It makes the window cannot be moved. Anyway, I can continue my development job in this way...

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.
