In the Android emulator, I click the Power button on the right corner.
The following screen keep run, it seems I can't power off the emulator. Right?
This is the stackoverflow that comes up when you search for "android 12 emulator power off"
You might search for that because Android 12 has taken over the "long-press the power button" gesture and turned that into "Start Google Assistant" with no ability to override it.
So how do you turn off Android 12 emulators? Not with the power button.
Drag the notification bar down twice so it is fully expanded, and you'll see Android 12 added a software power button to the bottom middle of the quick settings.
Long-press that, and you get the power menu you expected prior to Android 11 from a long-press on the hardware (or emulated) power button.
Cheers
UPDATE:
This was answer many many years ago. things have changed since then, and you are better off with the built in AVDs in Android Studio.
You can give it a try to Genymotion, it is a full OS system with different configurations, is very fast and you can turn it off if you need, is a virtual machine.

I've been doing development with Flutter. I was using a real hardware but wanted to use an emulator. I set it up but there's this issue.
I usually put my apps in virtual desktops and I switch between them with Ctrl+Meta+[arrow keys]. Each of them have a special purpose, usually desktop 1 is for browsing, desktop 2 is for development and desktop 4 is extra (for testing UI apps and emulator in this case).
However, after I launch Android emulator and switch to a different desktop, it results in the issue seen below:
The red area you see stays unresponsive for other apps such as browser, VSCode etc. (i.e. does not respond to clicks). That area is where the emulator is on Desktop 4. And it also keeps showing multitouch tool.
It's a bit annoying so I wanted to ask if anyone got this issue and if they have any solutions.
Thanks in advance.
Environment
Kubuntu 20.04
AMD Radeon R7 240/340
Solution 1
I have, somehow in a weird way, found a workaround for this issue.
After having this issue, go to the emulator window and press the magnifying glass with a plus button icon twice.
After that, it will drop that weird multitouch state and it won't bother you even as you switch desktop.
Rebooting computer will result in the same bug, however, you have to do it again.
Solution 2
Another method that works is to simply resize the window. If you have a device frame on your emulator, you can simply hold down the Meta key and hold right click and resize your window.
Solution 3
You can also maximize the window. If you have device frame around emulator window, you can press ALT+F3, which opens up window options menu, then click "Maximize". This will get rid of it.
A lot of older posts about AVD manager and its Android emulators suggest that device screen can be set to full screen by using Alt+Enter. In my case - it does not work. Neither does F11 or other shortcut key do the trick. To sum up what I want to know is, does the AVD manager emulators even support such thing? If yes, how, if not - are there any workarounds for it. The target device is a touchscreen monitor, so running in full screen is most important. Bonus question - is it possible display the toolbar with control icons (for controlling rotation, volume, hardware keys etc.) separately from main window in case the device screen is in fullscreen mode?
Mouse-clicking the inside of a HTML button under Google-Chrome (with Nexus-7 emulation mode turned on) on Windows 7 calls the expected event handler. On a physical Nexus-7 tablet (model 2012, Android 4.4.4), it is necessary to touch just below (but outside) the very same button to call the same event handler.
Firefox behaves correctly on the Windows PC as well as on the Nexus-7 tablet.
It took me quite some probing before I discovered the soft spot underneath the button. It is rather annoying that touching inside the button doesn't give any result. Is there a workaround, or would an update to Android 5.0.2 fix it?
Yes. The Lollipop update shows every web content way different then every android version before. It uses a feature called "Android System WebView".
BUT: An upgrade to 5.x can destroy your device. I dont know if this still the case, but you should double check that.
I made android emulator for Nexus 10 using latest ADT(21) and SDK tools.
I know that in Android JellyBean 4.2 there's a new feature called DayDream. I want to access it in my Nexus10 Emulator I have. but don't know how.
i am not getting option Daydream inside Settings -> Display.
How can i enable and use it Inside Emulator?
Here's what i need to do:
1st Step: Launch the Settings app, scroll to the bottom, and tap About Phone.
2nd Step: In the middle of the screen is the listing for Android Version. Tap this item until you see a jelly bean appear on your screen. You can then tap and hold the giant jelly bean until your device vibrates. You should then see interactive beans floating all over your screen. And yes, you can fling them. Go ahead, try it.
3rd Step : After doing, this the BeanFlinger Daydream will be unlocked. You can find the Daydream option by going to Settings > Display > Daydream.
Hope it Will Help to all of the Users Facing this Same kind of Problem.
I too had the same problem, what I did was, previously, I had an emulator with 4.2.1 version. I changed it to 4.3, now its working for me.
How can I disable the home, power and search buttons on Android 4.0+?
You can hide them using SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION:
myView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
This property is only in 4.0+. The closest 3.0+ gets is SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE.
But they should not (if they even can) be permanently disabled; imagine how you'd feel if an app took away your ability to use the "home" button, then started an infinite loop.
Edit: Wait, just read "Home, Power, and Search" buttons. You can't disable the power button (that would be silly), and most Android 4.0 phones don't have a dedicated search button unless they are upgrades of 2.3 devices (Galaxy S II, for example). My above info covers the soft Home, Back, and Recent Apps keys.
