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)

Hey guys so I am trying to set up my 16 inch MacBook pro M1 pro for react native app development. While setting android studio I tried to set the android studio emulator with skin but it does not work. I tried searching the web but didn't find much information and as far as I have seen Youtube most of them also have the same. I tried the advanced settings and tried to set the skin option but it still doesn't work I'm just asking is it my set up or it's with everyone
I had this exact issue with Android Studio's Emulator on my 2020 M1 Macbook. I tried many different devices and android versions but it seems that Android skins/ frames/ camera cut outs are unsupported on the new silicon chips: https://medium.com/mobile-app-development-publication/my-journey-to-setup-android-emulator-for-m1-macbook-pro-b8365321b3e7
However, I found a workaround that will get you a punch-hole camera and a couple of different options that might suit your needs. This can be achieved by:
Go into the phone settings app (the emulated device settings, within the emulator itself)
Find the build number (usually under "About emulated device")
Click on the build number 7+ times (this activates developer options)
Go into the developer options and find "device cut out"- here there will be several options such as a punch hole camera which will make the AVD emulate a suitable cut out within the device screen. This will at least allow you to test to see if your status bar is responsive to such things.

Hope this helps and please let me know if you find another way.
this may be a stupid question, but I've been doing Android Development for quite some time but just installed the new version of the SDK and ADT Eclipse plugin.
I've noticed that when I create a new AVD I can choose a specific device, I.e. Nexus 7 or Nexus Phone. I've selected the Galaxy Nexus but the emulator doesn't fit on the screen so I can't see the bottom of the device. At the moment I'm working on my Desktop which has a 21 inch monitor (1600 x 900) not the most highest spec in the world but I want to be able to fit the device on the screen. I also have a secondary screen which I usually keep the emulator on so I can see the code and the emulator, handy for debugging purposes, but this screen is much smaller and only has a resolution of 1280 x 800. At the moment, it would be impossible to press on the back and home buttons, and if I do development on my laptop, which is obviously a much smaller screen, probably wouldn't be able to see most of the device, as the AVD doesn't seem to scale to fit the screen.
Is there a way that this can be done. Below is a screen shot of how the device looks on my screen.
Right click your project -> Run Configuration -> select target -> in additional emulator command line option text box, type '-scale 0.75' and run your app
For those using Ionic CLI or other solutions, the following worked for me:
ionic run android -scale=0.75
In Android Studio, the option is set in the AVD Manager, under "Startup size and orientation".
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 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
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.
