AVD Emulator doesn't show the hardware buttons [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Android Studio emulator missing hardware buttons [duplicate]
(5 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I'm trying to emulate a specific device (Samsung Galaxy S3) but when i start the emulator i haven't the hardware buttons.
Device Setting:
AVD Setting:
I think that the issue is caused by the SKIN WXGA720 but if i change i have a different screen resolution or Software Buttons instead of Hardware.
I don't want to display software buttons but only hardware.
I also need to keep 320dpi as screen density when i check with
getApplicationContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi;
Did anyone found and solved the same issue?

To see hardware buttons choose this skin in AVD settings Skin with dynamic hardware controls

S4 Android Emulator [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
How can I create avd for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (1080X1920) [closed]
(1 answer)
Closed 9 years ago.
I tried to create custom S4 Emulator with resolution size 1080*1920 in AVD Manager. While i starting emulator , it is not all starting just showing blank screen for 25 min . What will be the issue ? There is no possibility to create S4 emulator ?

On Windows you are limited to using 768 MB of RAM for the virtual devices you create. This creates a problem when you create a screen as big as the one you have, since it will require more RAM than that to run. If you simply try to use the normal options to create a device that big it will not run as you have seen.
The way to fix this is to use ONLY the x86 images (no it will not be a GS4 processor but it's just an emulator), and run the intel x86 emulator accelerometer (HAXM) that is all the way at the bottom of the list in the SDK Manager. Install it and during the installation it will ask if you want to allot 2 GB of your PC's RAM to the virtual device. Enable that and your device should run.
Also check "use host GPU" as stated in the other answer.
As for OSX, hopefully someone else can help.

Android emulator display size

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.

How can I create a AVD for tablet testing?

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

Android how to create a 7 inch tablet virtual machine that layouts like a tablet? 2.3.3

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.
