How to resize the AVD emulator (in Eclipse)?
This is actually possible from your project as well, no need to start the emulator through the AVD manager:
Go to
Run > Run Configurations
... > (Select your application on the left hand side) > (Click the"Target"
tab on the right hand side).At the bottom there, you'll see
Emulator launch parameters
. In theadditional emulator command line options
, add'-scale 0.75'
(to make the screen 75% of full size)
Next time you start the emulator it will have scaled properly.
From within Eclipse
:
Go to
Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager > Virtual Devices
Select the AVD you want to launch and click
Start
Check the
Scale display to real size
buttonEnter how big you want it to appear in inches and press
Launch
. For this to work, you'll have to also enter a reasonable approximation of your mac's screen resolution. I'm using 7 inches and 113 dpi for my 13" Macbook Pro, but you may be able to get away with 8 or 9 inches.
