Hi I have a Android application that I am trying to run on a tablet in eclipse. However, when I run it I can only open it in a phone view. I went to the properties and changed it to Android 3.1 but that did not fix the problem. Does anyone know the fix here? Thanks
If you mean that you need the emulator to show such kind of display, just change the kind of display you need. Go to the AVD manager and create a new virtual device:
Eclipse: Window -> AVD manager -> new
Choose appropriate Android version. Then for the display choose appropriate skin (e.g. WXGA, which is tablet). After you create this virtual device, you can run your code against it. If the device is still run in portrait mode, you can always flip it using ctl + f12 to landscape.

In Android Studio (Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Patch 1), the initial creation and subsequent launch of a new virtual device in the emulator completes without any issues and the device frame shows properly. However, when opting to edit the virtual device, an error pops up briefly at the bottom of the window saying, "The skin directory does not point to a valid skin," and the Enable Device Frame option becomes un-ticked. If you cancel out of the Android Device Configuration window, the skin will still load correctly. If you check the Enable Device Frame checkbox and select the Finish button, the emulator will load without a skin. Going back to the device's option page shows that the Enable Device Frame checkbox has once again become un-ticked. Is this a bug and/or is there a workaround to this? I want to boot from a particular snapshot each time the emulator loads, but cannot do that without accessing the option page (whereby the skin will disappear once I finalize my option selection.)
I had this problem, I discovered I didn't have the SDK version downloaded for the version I had selected in AVD.
To solve in Android Studio Select: Tools > SDK Manager
Then check you have downloaded the SDK for the android version you are trying to use in AVD
I had the same issue when creating a new AVD:
Click "Show Advanced Settings"
Set "Custom skin definition" to "No Skin"
Error is gone
I had the same issue.
Create a new device.
Compare the config.ini files between the two.
I found mine in C:\Users\USER\.android\avd\Pixel_4_API_30.avd\
Edit accordingly.
Restart.
Does anyone know of a way (or if it's even possible) to set the default preview AVD in Android Studio v0.4.5. Every time I create a new activity it shows it in a Nexus 4 preview but as I have TEGRA Note 7 and have a custom AVD created for that, I want to see that as the default.
Is this possible and, if so, can anyone advise how to do it? I've checked all the settings but can't see anything that jumps out.
Thanks in advance.
In Android Studio 1.2.2, I was able to solve this problem by going to Run > Edit configurations...
From there, you can change the default emulator (avd) by clicking Defaults, then Android Application. From there, under Target Device, select your Preferred Android Virtual Device then click Apply or OK.
If that still does not work, you may need to also change this setting at the application level. Instead of clicking Defaults, click Android Application and select the name of the project in question. Then proceed to define the project-specific, preferred AVD as described above.
I am running a performance test for my android application, want to know whether it is possible to run multiple emulators at once in Eclipse?
If yes, how do i go about doing it?
Create multiple emulators
Change android project run configuration, target as manual selection instead of auto.
Right click on android project -> Run As -> Run Configuration.
On Run configuration window select the project under Android application [at right panel]
Then select Target tab at left panel, and select manual option. that all..
Now whenever you run that selected project, the eclipse will pop up the window with list of running emulators and devices..
To run more than one emulator
1. Open AVD manager
2. select emulator
3. click on start -> launch
You can run multiple emulators by just calling run again, then in the panel "Android Device Chooser" you can choose another Android Virtual Device. To add new Android Virtual Devices to your Android virtual device manager, just click the device manager button on the bar at the top of eclipse, then in the next screen click new and create a new virtual device. The virtual devices go kind of slowly if there are many of them, but you can use multiple emulators this way.
Open AVD Manager. Create multiple AVD/emulator and run them.

I have started a new emulator from 'launch new emulator' . But when I run another project later another emulator is getting loaded . Actually I wanted to use the same emulator itself.I there any option to reuse the same emulator and prevent new emulator being launched automatically.
Instead of Run use Run>Run Configurations>Target>Manual and manually select the AVD that is already launched.
I often have this problem when i both have the physical device( a real phone) plugged in the pc and an emulator. You can put the devices list near the console and logcat views, so you can select here the right device to use (install the app and show the logcat).
Go in window -> show view -> other -> devices.
From there you can select which device to use (if nothing is selected, a new emulator is run following the target option you set following Mangusto's answer)
You can select the emulator that you wish to make default from windows->android sdk manager->
edit the virtual device from that you can select skin you want. or set the dimension.
I think this can help you
Go to Run > Edit Configurations, choose your run configuration on the left side, check Use same device for future launches checkbox.
I want to create a virtual device (nexus one) with wvga800, 800x480 but when I do, I can't see the whole screen on my 13" macbook pro, and I can't scroll down to see the bottom of the screen. How can I see the bottom of my virtual phone screen???
thanks,
You can scale your emulator window, to more closely match the actual device size. This is an option when you run the emulator from the Android SDK and AVD Manager. This is the window you get from running the android command, or from Window|Android SDK and AVD Manager in Eclipse.
Not only will this give you an emulator window closer in size to what the actual device is (so you do not assume people can necessarily click on too-small buttons, etc.), but it will also fit your screen.
This is actually possible from your project as well, no need to start the emulator through the manager:
1) go to Run > Run Configurations... > (Select your application on the left hand side) > (Click the "Target" tab on the right hand side).
2) At the bottom there, you'll see 'Emulator launch parameters'. In the 'additional emulator command line options', add '-scale 0.75' (to make the screen 75% of full size)
Next time you start the emulator it will have scaled properly, hooray!
Ok, I found it, you have to START the emulator from the AVD Manager, after you hit the 'START' button, another window pops up allowing you to set the size of the emulator display.
If you run a project from eclipse, you will not get that screen to set the size of the emulator.
To view full emulator make use of it's full screen mode using alt+enter keys on windows & Linux. But, for mac I'm not sure b'cos i have not checked for it; it has to be same like making your media player window full screen. Please do check for mac & update my post.
