I know multi-user functionality is available in Android 4.2 JellyBean:
I have My Nexus 7 Emulator with Jellybean 4.2
I am using Ubuntu 11.10.
I have gone through here and here.
But I want to test this feature on my emulator and not on the actual device.
My Questions:
Is it possible to test multi-user feature on an emulator?
If yes, how it can be?
Yes. Create an AVD with device = Nexus 7. Start the AVD, and then follow the instructions given here.

I want to test my application test on different emulators than Android Studio provide. Android studio supports mostly Nexus devices. And Genymotion provide some of Samsung,HTC,Sony and Motorola devices. But sometimes I want to test it different devices. Such as Sharp SH-06D or Xperia Z5 which are not provided by Android Studio nor Genymotion. I found some of Sony device repo from this answer. But it is not updated, newest phone in there is Xperia Z2.
Is there a device repo which I can find the emulator or hardware profile what I want and download it?
I usually use 3 emulator to test the apps (JB, KK and Lollipop). But now I am using my Surface Pro and I can't use a lot of emulator. Then I only use my real nexus 5 device but it is a problem because I am using code for v21 and v19, and I can't test v19.
Is it possible to install the app forcing the v19 in my Nexus 5 with Lollipop?
no.
the nexus 5 with Lollipop is a Nexus 5 with Lollipop (API level 21).
your choices are:
struggle with the emulator on a slower computer
buy another device for testing
buy/use a faster computer
flash the factory image of KitKat on the nexus 5 from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images (not great option in my opinion)
The only solution would be that when creating a new emulator, you can select x86 in the ABI column which would use Intel HAXM to run the emulator faster.
You can use GENY MOTION ,It is faster then your emulator and its free for personal use.
You can find it there https://www.genymotion.com
I've just finished my Kivy application and it works great in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64-bit). Now I want to test it on an Android system, so I follow these steps in the official Kivy docs and finally (after some troubles) I could create the .APK file. Since I didn't hace a real android phone or tablet, I installed the Genymotion Android Emulator which is actually emulating a Samsung Galaxy S4 - 4.3 - API 18 - 1080x1920. When trying to open my application.apk file I'm receiving:
That's all, there's no more information.
Does anybody experimented something like this? Is there any Android emulator which works better when it's testing Kivy applications?
Any help will be appreciated.
The normal Android emulator works fine. Make sure it is using Android 4+ and has hardware GPU acceleration enabled.
I am new developer of Android's tablet, if I buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1-inch with Android 3.1 installed, can I downgrade it back to version 2.3.3 Gingerbread??
Since I want to test my apps running on v2.3.3
Any possible problems for doing this?
This may be possible, if you can find a ROM built for the 10.1 Tab which is running 2.3.3
I would advise you check out XDA-Developers and see what ROMs that have available. You will need to wipe your device though, so backup any data you may have on it. Also, you will need to Root your device, which will be explain on the XDA forums.

There isn't an official way to do this per a Google IO fireside chat
Unofficially, the device can be updated through CyanogenMod, as per Gopi. Again, this isn't an official update and bugs may be present.
