I want to develop application for Android tablet. But I am unable to create a tablet size emulator. Emulator size should be 1024x600 (WSVGA) but there is no option to make tablet size emulator in default skin size in sdk2.2 as well as sdk 2.3.
Then How to create tablet size emulator? However i have tried to make tablet size emulator manually putting the screen size 600x1024 in screen resolution. But this emulator is not working. Please help.
Set the resolution you want while defining the AVD:
You can download the Galaxy Tab Emulator from the "Android SDK and AVD Manager". Under "Available Packages", "Third party Ad-ons", "Samsung"
If you create emulator with tablet-specific Android version (e.g. 3.2) then it has tablet UI by default.

I am developing an Android application for tablet having 800 x 480 screen resolution and Android version 4.0.
I want to test this on an emulator but I am not able to create an emulator for tablet having 800 x 480 resolution. I am using ADT bundle for android.
I created an emulator for above resolution but it is showing phone skin, not the tablet skin. In AVD manager, I am not getting any skin option where I can select skin type to phone or tablet.
My question is :
How can I create an emulator for 800 x 480 resolution having tablet skin type.
What is the best IDE for Android application development?
i) Eclipse with ADT plugin
ii) ADT bundle for window
Please guide me.
Here are the answers:-
Go to Android Virtual Devices Manager -> Device Definitions. Double click on 10.1" WXGA Tablet or any other 7" tablet which you want to edit. Enter resolution 800x480 and clone the device. Now user created Sample device definition will be created. Now you can use this definition to create your own avd.
Best IDE for android app development is adt bundle for windows. It is faster than eclipse with ADT plugin and optimized for android app development as per my own experience.
Go to Android Virtual Manager > Device Definitions.
You can find many devices...
Select the device as per your preference...
Eg: for 4"WVGA or 3.7" WVGA are having 480x800 resolution.
you can create a new device by clicking new button in Android Virtual Manager
ii ADT bundle for window (its the all in one)
i His question is how to make a cheap tablet avd (ie 7" tablet 480x800). The problem is if you use 480x800 the AVD treats it like a phone and if you make it 7" the bucket is wrong.
Closest I have is (I have an actual cheap 7" device it confirm this):
800x480 (800 1st to make it tablet)
6" (making it a sw430)
normal, mdpi
Portrait is good.
Problem is in landscape the soft buttons remain on the side.
I have android sdk , updated to latest version(v21).
Now what i want is :
Make emulator of Asus google nexus 7, that contains 800 x 1280 resolution and 216 dpi.
As i updated my sdk to latest version i can not edit my current dpi of emulator.
Please help me to create this AVD.
Make emulator of Asus google nexus 7, that contains 800 x 1280
resolution and 216 dpi.
To make emulator same as Google Asus Nexus 7 you will get this as default device while creating new AVD.
As i updated my sdk to latest version i can not edit my current dpi of
emulator.
for this you can delete and can create New Emulator from latest AVD with the Below suggestions.
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 want to test some apps on Nexus S devices,
can I access the devices remote or get some emulator image for it?
for the GALAXY Tab, I could get it at http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/galaxyTab.do , but seems neither Samsung nor Google provides the actual info on Nexus S
The Nexus S is pure Android. You shouldn't need a special emulator for it, just use the standard emulator with SDK set to 2.3. You can get all the details you need from the tech specs.
Depending on what your app cares about, you probably just need to set the screen size appropriately: 4.0" WVGA (480x800)
You can always create your own AVD just like you did for the Galaxy Tab. Galaxy Tab had a special AVD because of its huge size.
These are the nexus S specs. The Android version can be controlled by setting the minimum s/w version and api level.
In eclipse use this to create a new Virtual Device that has the same specs of Nexus S:
Window > AVD Manager
I'm trying to emulate an Acer AOD250 that has a 1024x600 screen and comes with Android. If I create an AVD with default settings except for resolution of 1024x600 and SDK 3, the emulator does not start. The largest I can get working is 670x600. At larger resolutions, sometimes the emulator starts, but does not complete the boot. Is there a memory setting or something that I can change to allow the emulator to work on a screen this big?
Samsung release a plug-in for galaxy TAB !
screen resolution of 1024x600

You can run Android in a virtual machine (e.g.: Virtual Box) using a Android iso
