After installing Genymotion or AVD Emulator on Windows 10 they got a strange resolution (can´t post images due to my reputation).
I have already tried to custom devices and their resolutions. AVD Emulator has the worst resolution, even outside the device screen, where native android buttons are (on/off, keyboard...). Anyone else with this problem?

I'm following an android development course on Udemy. As I have an AMD processor, I have to run an emulator with ARM image. I'm running a nexus 5 emulator that way. It is super slow but it is working.
However, I can't drag or edit anything in real time on the emulator. The instructor video has him dragging the text box, changing the size and style of the text etc in real time. I can't do that on the emulator.
Is there a work around this or am I missing something?
I'd like to be able to do this http://imgur.com/a/sQD6N
At this moment emulator is no different from testing on a physical device, I do have an android phone.
Thank you for your help
I'm trying to run the emulator in Android Studio. When I run the avd for Nexus 5 API 8, the phone image appears, but the screen is blank. Some research uncovered that the nexus screen may be too dense to display on my 1368x768 laptop screen, so I tried creating smaller density avds such as 4" wvga nexus s and 3.4" wvga. When I run these, I get the error "failed to create drawable" and no phone image pops up. When I connect my LG phone via usb in developer mode, the app works fine on the phone. Why can't I get the emulator to display the app output?
I had a similar problem and the solution was to disable hardware rendering.
Steps:
Open Tools\Android\AVD Manager
Edit the Virtual Device (Click on the pencil)
Change Emulated Performance - Graphics to 'Software-GLES 2.0'

When I open the android emulator, it stays on a black screen.
The app I'm testing is small and basic.
I have the arm* type downloaded, and I set it to 300 RAM, but still nothing.
Emulator have many issue if you want good & fast emulator then uses genymotion Download from link https://www.genymotion.com/#!/. you will get different type of device and fast devices then emulator.
This question already has an answer here:
How can I create avd for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (1080X1920) [closed]

I tried to create custom S4 Emulator with resolution size 1080*1920 in AVD Manager. While i starting emulator , it is not all starting just showing blank screen for 25 min . What will be the issue ? There is no possibility to create S4 emulator ?
On Windows you are limited to using 768 MB of RAM for the virtual devices you create. This creates a problem when you create a screen as big as the one you have, since it will require more RAM than that to run. If you simply try to use the normal options to create a device that big it will not run as you have seen.
The way to fix this is to use ONLY the x86 images (no it will not be a GS4 processor but it's just an emulator), and run the intel x86 emulator accelerometer (HAXM) that is all the way at the bottom of the list in the SDK Manager. Install it and during the installation it will ask if you want to allot 2 GB of your PC's RAM to the virtual device. Enable that and your device should run.
Also check "use host GPU" as stated in the other answer.
As for OSX, hopefully someone else can help.
In my PC, I can create any medium density emulator(e.g. 1280x768) and run it properly. But when I am trying to run any emulator of high density or extra high density emulator, it is showing black screen only, it is not loading anything and I cannot run any app there, if I try to run any app, it is giving "Error type 2". What is problem? Is it any hardware limitation?
I too face this type of problem earlier. But I have rectified this by using VirtualBox.
Install virtual box
check this for how to use virtual box as android emulator
I installed different add-on like Samsung Galaxy, Motorola Xoom, Xoom2, Xoom2Me etc and create AVD using them, it solved my problem.
