I can I create a AVD for android 4.0.3 so that I can test my app on emulator?
I have download android 4.0.3 SDK from Android SDK manager. But how can I create a AVD so that i will run as an tablet environment? The only one I found is SamSung Galaxy Tab, but that is for API 8. I am looking for something which works on 4.0.3
Thank you.
Check How to Test Your Application on Multiple Screens
in fallowing link:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
its given there how can you test your app on tablet.
you just have to change your avd according to extra large.
remember one thing skin for tablet is available from 3.0 .
In 4.0 skin for tablet is not there.
for that try 3.0 to 3.2 versions( which were made for tablets specifically. \
Android avd sucks,
I suggest, use genymotion its fast. faster then your phone
If you are looking for a skinned version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, it is currently not available for any of the ICS API levels.
And using just the resolution to create Tablet emulator for ICS can be slightly tricky. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S II has a resolution of 720 * 1280 pixels.
To create an AVD for a tablet based on the ICS API, you should use the "WXGA800" from the drop down under the "Skin" option. I used this very option to create a tablet AVD and use it all the time.
Hope this helps.
in skin: where you select between built-in or resolution check in built-in drop down if WXGA720 or WXGA800 exists, if any of two are there then select one and create avd in the case of 4.0 it creates tab.
If you start eclipse.
Click in the menubar [Window -> AVD Manager]
Click 'New' to create a new emulator.
Here you can select which target/platform you want to run on it.
And select the resolution for the emulator.
FYI, you can create any size/resolutions of AVD. Just define the resolutions while creating AVD.
as far as i can see, there is no specific device emulator for 4.0.3. you can just create an avd from device manager with the api level 15 as the previous answer says. doesn't it work for you?
Most answers are 7 year old now and eclipse specific.
The current solution using Android Studio described here is:
open Android Studio
Go to Tools -> AVD Manager
Click + Create Virtual Device

For some reason, after updating the ADT to R21, I cannot preview my layout on any type of size like I could before :
So, I declared a new Android Virtual Device by using the AVD manager and there, I can't found anything that could look like a Nexus 10 resolution :
Is anyone having the same trouble ? How can I preview a Nexus 10 layout with the cool "Preview All screens" feature ?
Thanks in advance.
You need to create a new 'Device Definition' for the Nexus 10 and populate it with the information regarding resolution, ram etc for that device. You can find the 'Device Definition' tab in the Android Virtual Device Manager. Once you create the new device definition, it will appear as an option in the 'Create New Android Device (AVD)' dialog box.
Good luck!
Note: I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 and Eclipse ADT v21
I tried to add an image here, but I need at least 10 reputation. Sorry.
Is it possible to create an AVD to emulate the Nexus 4?
I am using Eclipse and I'm pretty sure I have updated all of the SDK tools etc, along with the 4.2 SDK/system Image etc.
However, when I open the AVD manager to add a new AVD, there no longer seems to be the ability to enter a custom resolution/density etc. There is a droplist containing several devices, but no Nexus 4, and no generic version with a resolution of 768x1200.
Am I just missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance for any help!
After Update your ADT to version 21.
In Older Version each time you have to set Add Custom Screen if you want custom Device Configurations as (if you want Nexus 4).
In ADT21 version you can get this thing done by
open AVD Manager, u can define your custom screen in "Device Definition"
Alternative (Much Easier approach)
in Newest Version you Don't Need to Set Custom Device
Configurations from the above Suggestion as much easier way is available for it. you >Just Have to Make Emulator With your Device
Configurations and after you will see those Configurations with
Emulator Name Inside Graphical Layout of XML
like after Created my Emulator of Nexus7 Emulator with Android 4.2 with Name as "Nexus7_Android_4.2" i will get this Device Configuration in Graphical Layout of xml automatically.
Below is the Screen Shot of it.
Hope it will Help you.
I am developing an app to run on android. I have an emulator with the pixel resolution of an 10.1 inch tablet display, but emulator keeps running my app on a much smaller area on this large screen. Does anybody know how to configure an emulator properly using AVD? By the way im using IntelliJ as ide not an eclipse.
Thanks in advance
suppose you have to make an application for galaxy tab 10.1 inch then you have to do following :
Open the Android SDK and AVD Manager
Click on Available packages
Expand the Third party Add-ons. There you will see Samsung
Electronics add-ons.
Once the add-on is installed create a new emulator. Under Target you
will see the new Samsung Tab settings, select it.
I'm driving to make a virtual machine for 7 inch tables but whatever I make tends to be a big screen that displays the layout like a phone. When I use the GUI designer with the 7 inch tablet option it lays out right and even displays good on a real 7 inch tablet, but on the emulator it shows up like a phone and does not layout correctly.
I see several questions on this but none have gotten rid of the phone layout issue.
How would I get this to work?
To get the official Samsung Galaxy Tab emulator do the following:
1) Open the Android SDK and AVD Manager
2) Click on Available packages
3) Expand the Third party Add-ons. There you will see Samsung Electronics add-ons.
4) Once the add-on is installed create a new emulator. Under Target you will see the new Samsung Tab settings, select that.
That's it!
That method did not work for me.
I looked up documentation on googles site to determine screensizes and that is what I used to create a tablet.
I am working on an app for specifically Archos 7 tab.Could someone tell me how to get an emulator for that device.I have tried with some other emulators but didnt work quite well.
So if someone could help..?Plz
You should googled Archos 7 tab and learn its properties (screen resolution, Android version etc...). And then go Eclipse -> Window -> AVD Manager -> New and customize your new Emulator.
You can specify its screen resolution, Android version, hardware properties (click new button that on hardware part)
