THe AVD setting for Android 2.2 seems too large on my computer, and this is the default value. How can I create one of normal size. Thanks
I'm not the only one: Android Emulator Screen Scale too Large
Right-Click on your project, go to Run As-> Run Configurations, click on the tab 'Target', at the bottom you'll see 'additional emulator command line options', add '-scale 0.75' (to make the screen 75% of full size, set the value to what you want to scale)
I had the same issue. My emulator window was bigger than my computer screen resolution. I did what DoNotCheckMyBlog said.
Choose a smaller screen resolution
Run emulator
Revert back to the original screen resolution size
The emulator will fit.

I am using Android Studio 2.2 on Surface Pro 4 which has high DPI QHD resolution. The issue is with emulator. When I launch AVD manager and create an emulator, following is the result. I have tried changing DPI etc, however, it seems that there is some serious scaling issue.
Interesting thing is that despite the actual display is shrunk to a corner, the touch / input responses are in actual expected place (black area at the botton of the skin for home button etc.)
See the link below for screenshot.
Any idea how this can be fixed ? Thanks
I am trying to lunch my Android application on an emulator. The point is i want to make the emulator in the size of the real device. Although I used -scale 0.8, it's still much bigger than real size
The dimensions that you set in the emulator are in inches, which match into the corresponding real device resolution and if you select to, dimensions on your resulting monitor image.
But consider that your monitor may translate that..
If you really wish to have the same dimensions in the resulting image on screen compared to the device in your hands, why not adapt the dimensions yourself until you're happy with the result? In eclipse: Window -> Android Virtual Device Manager -> Device Definitions -> New Device
Create the device with the dimensions it should have (you may look in gsmarena) then run the emulator on real size making sure your monitor/video card is not scaling (extended desktop with multiple monitors). If not just tune the dimensions when creating the virtual device until you get what you want
I created custom device with configuration- screen size 5.3 inch and 900x1480 resolution.
Then i created AVD with different OS versions, but emulator never launches. It shows up emulator screen but all the time there is only black screen, not even showing "Android". In DDMS LogCat there are going on some actions but for me it looked like its one big loop repeating.
Also i tried to emulate HTC One (normal-xxhdpi) but there is same problem. In this case it may be there isnt updates made to support xxhdpi.
that happen to me if i set more than 786MB in RAM you should use 512 MB and the emulator will launch
Try selecting "Use Host GPU" in the virtual device settings.
I was wondering, I now have an app that makes a grid of 16x16 buttons which are all 30dp wide. That makes a total of 480dp. In the emulator it runs fine (which runs at WVGA). Can I change the screen size of the emulator in any way to test if my app runs fine on lower and higher screen resolutions?
You can define different AVDs using the AVD manager. When you launch the AVD, you can specify a virtual-to-screen scaling, which will also affect the density that the emulator will use.
Yes, of course. You can do that in the AVD manager. Start your virtual device from AVD and a little dialog will pop-up asking you if you would like to set a custom size for the device. Alternatively you can create additional avd entries.
I'm sorry if this is a daft question but I appear to be missing something.
I am trying to publish my first app and I need at least 2 screen shots. I have taken these using DDMS in eclipse which produces an image 240 by 400. The market requires an image that is at least 320 by 480!
How do I generate a screenshot of this size?
Create an emulator from Eclipse with the required screen-size and run your app in the emulator and then use DDMS to take the screenshot.
From Eclipse: Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager. Create a New one. Specify a screen resolution of your desired size.
Create an AVD which has an HVGA skin/resolution. HVGA is by default 320x480.
Run your application once more using this AVD and use DDMS to take screen shots.
