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

I am new to android development. There is one project that runs fine on 10.1 inch Samsung tablet but UI get distorted when run on Sony Xperia Z Tablet. I had created separate layout folder named layout-sw800dp-land for Sony Xperia Z Tablet (10.1 inch) and calculated smallest with the following method.
dp = px/(dpi/160)
=1200/(240/160)
=800
Specification for XperiaZ Tablet can be found on this link:-

Now i do not have access to device, so i need to test it on emulator but there is no emulator available for screen configuration 1200X1920.
How could i test code on emulator for some particular screen configuration?? Is there any way to create AVD with own device apart from default available devices??
The easiest way to get the right AVDs is to install the Sony developer SDK. See this:

The 'clone avd' option in avd manager allows you to create your own size and required avds.
what is the correct emulator for the HTC ONE X (4.0.3)...
I create the emulator by giving its resolution for htc one x but its create some UI problem.
My emulator's resolution is 720*1280, screen sixe is 4.7 inches exactly with comapare to HTC ONE X...in my emulator there is no problem with UI, But in the real device its create some problem in UI.
. I Used same android version (android 4.0.3) in both emulator and real devices...I create the FOLDER for this is LAYOUT-NORMAL-XHDPI in RES folder.
Is that any ONLINE EMULATOR available for HTC ONE X...????
try layout-sw360dp
if you want to different layout for both landscape mode and portrait
mode, you can use
layout-sw360dp-port
layout-sw360dp-land
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 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 am trying to create the android emulator for Nexus 10 using latest ADT(21) and SDK tools. I have the following configuration for the Nexus 10 AVD:
Screen Size - 10 inches
Resolution - 2560 X 1600
Screen Size - xlarge Screen Density - Xhdpi
Screen ratio - long
RAM - 1024
Let me know if this configuration is wrong. After creating the above Configuration I was able to create the AVD but couldn't load it. It only shows a black screen. What could be the problem here?
I am Using Ubuntu 11.10.
I had the same issue. You can do one thing,
1) When you create AVD, make sure Use Host GPU option is checked.
It worked for me, in my Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and eclipse juno.
EDIT : Sorry folks for the confusion. There is no Google Nexus 10 skin (at the time of writing this). What you see in the image is a Nexus 10 equalant I created using Device Definition (AVD manager 2nd tab) feature of eclipse. It is just I named it as Nexus 10 and it is not default google emulator.
I think the monitor resolution is more important than the hardware of your computer. I have a PC i7 & 16GB RAM under Windows 7, with two DELL monitor 1920x1080 and it is imposible to run Nexus 10 emulator. This computer runs Nexus 7 emulator perfectly.
But my less powerfull iMac i5 & 8 GB RAM under OSX Mountain Lion, runs perfectly Nexus 10 AVD.
I have tried with/without use host gpu option, and only work when it is checked.
I have tried to emulate other devices like Samsung Galaxy S4 and it happens the same!
By the way, it is recomended to specify low value RAM and SD Card values for performance (512MB & 16-96MB).
I had the same issue (have, actually). It is quite simple, the resolution and the screen density are just too high for your monitor (on that screen size), so it cannot display it. - I am sure your emulator runs perfectly on other configurations
This is the correct configuration for an Nexus 10 Android Virtual Device:
Your screensize and density was wrong.
Screen Size - 10.1 inches Resolution - 2560x1600
Size - xlarge Density - xxhdpi
Screen Ratio - long RAM - 2048 MiB
One more way is to use new
Genymotion Android Emulator
It is available for Ubuntu also , have a look at my post for other info related to it.
With IntelliJ you need to open tools - android - AVD manager and then when you add a new AVD try ensuring that your CPU/ABI is set to ARM(armeabi) Had some trouble before like this and it was down to this setting.
Hope this helps!
