I'm new to android developing and have an issue with android emulator, it has no window frame! I can't move it over my screen or move to second monitor, it is freaking me out! I tried to google it out, but found no solution, can anyone tell me how can I fix that?
I had same problem. There is a frame. It just launches outside the screen and you can't grab it.
"Simple" solution: Start the emulator and then right click on the Windows taskbar and hit "Cascade Windows". That will move the emulator window down low enough to grab the Windows frame.
There is a nice workaround: open the window context menu by pressing alt+space. Then select 'move' and move the window with the arrow keys.

I am using Android Studio on Ubuntu 16.04. The AVD emulator starts fine, and I can install apks on it. However, if I change to a different workspace, minimise the emulator, or even click on another window, backrounding the emulator, it appears to minimise(only visible in the task bar), and from then on, it will not maximise again. Clicking on it in the bottom task bar makes it appear for a split second before minimising again. I haven't had this problem with any other window. Anyone know how to fix it?
So far I have tried:
Setting the emulator window to always stay on top
answer to install various libs that have helped people with similar AVD problems
Starting the emulator from the command line
For Windows use:
If a window won’t maximize, press Shift+Ctrl and then right-click its icon on the taskbar and select Restore or Maximize, instead of double-clicking on the icon.
I have found a workaround. By clicking into the window menu from the very top left of the emulator window, I set the emulator to both 'always be on bottom' AND always appear in all workspaces. This way, switching workspaces doesn't have any effect on the emulator, and keeping it to the bottom layer means I can open other programs in other workspaces and not have the emulator in the way. I just can't ever minimise it. It's not ideal, but at least I can do my work!
In the bottom left corner of Android studio, there is a squared icon that allows you to see all Panles. it includes also Emulator. By selecting it, I was able to have my Emulator back on screen (view mode: float).
I have created emulator and launched it, first time is shows properly in center but after editing emulator size, It is showing on left top corner of monitor.
Unable to change position of emulator.
Before two days, My colleague also got same issue. We have same laptop which are HP EliteBook 8460P
Please find attached screenshot
Thanks in advance!
Right click on the icon in the taskbar, click move, then push the down arrow key on your keyboard.
Also, there is a windows program called Alt-Drag that lets you click anywhere on a window while holding the Alt key to move it. You can find it here
Click on the emulator, than press Alt+Space, choose Move and then move the window with arrow keys or mouse. Or better yet, get the Genymotion emulator. This is a known bug with the default emulator.
I'm using Android Studio 0.7 and while i normally find it quite pleasant to work with, its logcat support is intermittent at best. Now i've somehow gotten myself into a bit of an interface conundrum. Something i did inadvertently with the Android DDMS window at the bottom has meant that "Devices" and "logcat", which are normally in a two-paned window together (e.g. "Devices | logcat"), have become separate. As a result i can no longer view the filter box and the logcat output without switching panes, which as you can imagine is a real PAIN! (pun unintended but welcomed)
Here are some screenshots - at the top you see two shots of the two panes in their current separated form in v0.7, and below you see what it normally looks like (from v0.8). It's like i've somehow lost the whole header for the individual panes...
I've looked at all the buttons nearby, looked through all the settings, and googled as best i can, and i just can't figure it out. Can anybody help me? At the moment i can only hope that google fixes their developer L preview so i can actually start using 0.8 but who knows how long that will be....
In Intellij IDEA 13.1.5 for Mac, press Fn in keyboard, drag 'Devices' window to 'logcat' window, done!
Click and drag the part I highlighted in Red. When it becomes a separate box, just close it by clicking on the X on the top right.
I recently switched my developing platfrom from win7 to ubuntu 11.04. Installation was pretty straight forward however I started notice things are different. First, the Android SDK and AVD Manager, when launched from Eclipse, does NOT have the minimze button. If I right click on the top bar, the minimize option is disabled. What's going on there? Although I can easily moved to another desktop so it doesn't interfere with coding, but it's annoying cause every time I click on the eclipse at the open window manager at the bottom of the screen, it automatically takes me to the SDK manager thinking it's the top most layer of eclipse. Any idea why that is?
Since I am on the top, also in eclipse, the bottom window segments (console, javadoc, etc) is also missing minimize button. I can minimize by double clicking the title tab of the editor, but for crying out loud, where is the minimize button for the bottom window segments. It has close, maximize, but no minimize. These are the moments that makes windows seems more superior than linux. Thoughts?
You can just close it or if for some special reason you need it open just run /opt/android-sdk/tools/android (or whatever your path is) from your command line and not from Eclipse.
I am having trouble using the "Screen Capture" function in Eclipse to capture an Android screen shot. I have the correct tab open, and when I click the screen capture icon, the box pops up and just stays on "Capturing..." but the display never changes from a white box with an X through it.
I have USB debugging turned on on the phone and I have the correct device selected in Eclipse..any other tips? Thanks!
Navigate to your android sdk install folder. Open the Tools folder and find DDMS. Run DDMS and use the Screen Capture option from the Device pull down menu. This is the native tool that Eclipse tries to use and it works better natively.
On the screen capture window, click done, then reopen the screen capture dialog. I have to go through this process every time I want screen caps, for some reason it doesn't connect to device on the first run.
This works for me, also when Logcat ceases to work: When I disable and re-enable the debug mode on the device, everything is working again.
