I just downloaded the Android 4.1 (API 16) packages using the SDK Manager and created an Emulator for JellyBean. What I see now is everything on the JellyBean emulator is aliasing. When I open the screen capture dialog in DDMS, the screen is HUGE - I think the emulator is scaling that down, thus causing the aliasing. Screenshot:
And here are the emulator settings:
I've used these same settings (minus the GPU emulation = yes) before for my ICS emulators, including the built-in screen resolution WXGA720. What settings should I change to get rid of this problem?
Make sure that Scale display to real size is unchecked in the Launch Options dialog (which appears after clicking on Start... in the AVD manager).

My AVD cannot display anything except the black screen. The methods I have tried are as follows:
Long press the power button to turn on
2.Modify the AVD configuration file, change avd.ini.encoding to ISO-8859-1
I am using Android Studio 4.1 and the Android version of AVD's Visual Devices is Android 9 (API 28).
There is no error message in the Event log
Wipe data of emulator in AVD Manager and start the emulator again
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'

I am very new to android development. I have issues in Android AVD device display. It display the content very big. Here I cannot attach screenshot.
The lock screen looks like the very big font for Time and Date which
beyond the screen size.
Even I cannot see the lock icon to go to Home screen.
Device Definition:
Device : Nexus One(3.7", 480 x 800:hdpi)
Target : Android 5.1.1 - API Level 22,
CPU / ABI : ARM (armeabi - v7a),
SKIN : WVGA800,
RAM : 512 ,
VM Heap: 32 ,
Internal : 1024
I already searched for fix and deleted device and recreated the device, but same problem. But I cannot find the solution.
Thanks a lot.
Create a AVD having below configuration.
It is very fast for testing application.
See the image below.
I found that Device and Skin selection is somewhat an issue with newer Android SDK(not in 24.2.0 and lower, tested 24.4.1, 25.2.5 and has this issue). When I choose any named Device like Nexus *, then I have to choose only skin Skin with dynamic hardware controls and if I choose unnamed Device(with only size and resolution mentioned) then I can choose any of the Skin in the list.
Screenshot of how the problem is looking is at https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/96949/android-avd-not-displaying-appropriate-scale
if you match your laptop/computer resolution to your external monitor's resolution. Then you can return back to your PC's resolution.
On you laptop/Computer From Settings -> Display settings -> Decrease the screen layout (125%) or decrease the scale and layout of your screen and restart emulator.
This is how to change display settings

P.S.It's temporary solution.
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.
It doesn't seem to work. I looked at the solution proposed here: Android emulator 4.2.2 not showing add widget option in lock screen but without success. Using the rev1 image (as the rev2 has a bug, filed here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58548)
No way that I get that '+' sign... Ideas?
Of course, the project is using Android 17.
Use power button but set some lock screen (swipe for example) in Android settings before.
With the following combination, it's now working for me.
Install: Run Android SDK Manager. In the "Android 2.2.2 (API 17)" section, install Intel x86 Atom System Image. It offers Rev. 1. Also download, install, then finish installing Intel HAXM, if you haven't done that already. You might need to allocate more RAM to HAXM. IIRC, I have it set to 2 GB.
(Android SDK Manager has Rev. 2 of ARM EABI v7a System Image. According to Android emulator 4.2.2 not showing add widget option in lock screen, lock screen widgets work in Rev. 1 but not Rev. 2. I didn't test the ARM system images.)
Create an AVD with these settings:
Device: Galaxy Nexus (4.65", 720 x 1280: xhdpi)
Target: Android 4.2.2 - API Level 17
CPU/ABI: Intel Atom (x86)
Skin: Skin with dynamic hardware controls
Memory options: RAM: 768, VM Heap: 64
Internal Storage: 200 MiB
SD Card: Size: 100 MiB
Emulation Options: [x] Use Host CPU
Add a lock screen widget:
Launch this emulator AVD.
Run your app in this emulator.
If you need to get to the lock screen, press the simulated power button twice (off, on).
On the lock screen, swipe down on the clock widget. It should grow a large rectangle. Release the mouse.
Swipe to the right until you get to the "+" screen.
Tap the "+" then pick your widget from the list.
NOTE: Android L does not support lock screen widgets. The feature is gone.
I hope this works for y'all. There may be more independent variables, and the above configuration is surely not the only one that works.
To reach the lock screen of Android Emulator, in recent emulators (using Android Studio 2.3) just click the "power" button in the Emulator. You'll get a black screen. Click it again and there it is, your lock screen.
Press(rather click :) ) the power button twice on the emulator. This will make it go into lock mode.After that , click on lock button again, the phone lights up with you asking to provide pin/finger print/pattern in case you had put them in your unlocking. Hope this helps..
Yes it does not seem to work with my AVD. But it works with genymotion. Maybe you can try it. Download it from http://www.genymotion.com/.
