How can I create an AVD for tablet testing?

Question

Can I create AVD for Android 4.0.3 so that I can test my application on an emulator? I have an Android 4.0 SDK for the Android SDK. But how can I create an AVD so that I work as a tablet environment? The only thing I found is SamSung Galaxy Tab, but this is for API 8. I am looking for something that works on 4.0.3

Thanks.

Answer 1

Check how to test your application on multiple screens in pairs: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

its here, how you can test your application on a tablet. you just need to change your avd to fit very large ones. Remember that tablet skin is available from 3.0.

In 4.0, there is no skin for the tablet. To do this, try versions from 3.0 to 3.2 (which were made specifically for tablets. \

Android avd sucks,

I suggest using genymotion quickly. faster than your phone

Answer 2

If you are looking for a hidden version of the Samsung Galaxy tab, it is currently not available for any of the ICS API levels.

And using only permission to create a Tablet emulator for ICS can be a bit complicated. For example, Samsung Galaxy S II has a resolution of 720 * 1280 pixels.

To create an AVD for a tablet based on the ICS API, you must use the " WXGA800 " in the drop-down list under "Skin". I used this very option to create an AVD tablet and use it all the time.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

on the skin: when you select the built-in or enable check of the built-in drop-down list, if there is a WXGA720 or WXGA800, if any of them are there, select one and create avd in case 4.0, it creates a tab.

Answer 4

If you run eclipse.

Click on the menu [Window → AVD Manager]

Click "Create" to create a new emulator.

Here you can choose which goal / platform you want to run on it. And select a resolution for the emulator.

Answer 5

FYI, you can create any sizes / resolutions of AVD. Just determine the permissions when creating the AVD.

Answer 6

As far as I can see, there is no special device emulator for 4.0.3. you can just create avd from device manager with api level 15 as the previous answer says. Does it work for you?

Answer 7

Most of the answers are now 7 years old, and they are specific to the eclipse.

The current solution using Android Studio, described here :

1. open Android Studio
2. Go to Tools → AVD Manager
3. Click + Create Virtual Device
