Oct 12, 2016  How to Create New Virtual Device Emulator Android Studio - Run Apps Project on Emulator using AVD Manager, cara tutorial membuat dan mengelola AVD Emulator android dengan mudah dan cepat lengkap.

An Android Virtual Device (AVD) is a configuration that defines the characteristics of an Android phone, tablet, Wear OS, Android TV, or Automotive OS device that you want to simulate in the Android Emulator. The AVD Manager is an interface you can launch from Android Studio that helps you create and manage AVDs.

To open the AVD Manager, do one of the following:

  • Select Tools > AVD Manager.
  • Click AVD Manager in the toolbar.

About AVDs

An AVD contains a hardware profile, system image, storage area, skin, and other properties.

We recommend that you create an AVD for each system image that your app could potentially support based on the <uses-sdk> setting in your manifest.

Hardware profile

The hardware profile defines the characteristics of a device as shipped from the factory. The AVD Manager comes preloaded with certain hardware profiles, such as Pixel devices, and you can define or customize the hardware profiles as needed.

Notice that only some hardware profiles are indicated to include Play Store. This indicates that these profiles are fully CTS compliant and may use system images that include the Play Store app.

System images

A system image labeled with Google APIs includes access to Google Play services. A system image labeled with the Google Play logo in the Play Store column includes the Google Play Store app and access to Google Play services, including a Google Play tab in the Extended controls dialog that provides a convenient button for updating Google Play services on the device.

To ensure app security and a consistent experience with physical devices, system images with the Google Play Store included are signed with a release key, which means that you cannot get elevated privileges (root) with these images. If you require elevated privileges (root) to aid with your app troubleshooting, you can use the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) system images that do not include Google apps or services.

Storage area

The AVD has a dedicated storage area on your development machine. It stores the device user data, such as installed apps and settings, as well as an emulated SD card. If needed, you can use the AVD Manager to wipe user data, so the device has the same data as if it were new.

Skin

An emulator skin specifies the appearance of a device. The AVD Manager provides some predefined skins. You can also define your own, or use skins provided by third parties.

AVD and app features

Be sure your AVD definition includes the device features your app depends on. See Hardware Profile Properties and AVD Properties for lists of features you can define in your AVDs.

Create an AVD

Tip: If you want to launch your app into an emulator, insteadrun your app from Android Studio and then in the Select Deployment Target dialog that appears, click Create New Virtual Device.

To create a new AVD:

  1. Open the AVD Manager by clicking Tools > AVD Manager.
  2. Click Create Virtual Device, at the bottom of the AVD Manager dialog.

    The Select Hardware page appears.

    Notice that only some hardware profiles are indicated to include Play Store. Thisindicates that these profiles are fully CTS compliant and may use systemimages that include the Play Store app.

  3. Select a hardware profile, and then click Next.

    4. If you don't see the hardware profile you want, you can create or import a hardware profile.

    The System Image page appears.

  4. Select the system image for a particular API level, and then click Next.

    5. The Recommended tab lists recommended system images. The other tabs include a more complete list. The right pane describes the selected system image. x86 images run the fastest in the emulator.

    If you see Download next to the system image, you need to click it to download the system image. You must be connected to the internet to download it.

    The API level of the target device is important, because your app won't be able to run on a system image with an API level that's less than that required by your app, as specified in the minSdkVersion attribute of the app manifest file. For more information about the relationship between system API level and minSdkVersion, see Versioning Your Apps.

    If your app declares a <uses-library> element in the manifest file, the app requires a system image in which that external library is present. If you want to run your app on an emulator, create an AVD that includes the required library. To do so, you might need to use an add-on component for the AVD platform; for example, the Google APIs add-on contains the Google Maps library.

    The Verify Configuration page appears.

  5. Change AVD properties as needed, and then click Finish.

    Click Show Advanced Settings to show more settings, such as the skin.

    6. The new AVD appears in the Your Virtual Devices page or theSelect Deployment Target dialog.

To create an AVD starting with a copy:

  1. From theYour Virtual Devices page ofthe AVD Manager, right-click an AVD and selectDuplicate.

    2. Or click Menuand select Duplicate.

    The Verify Configurationpage appears.

  2. Click Change or Previous if youneed to make changes on theSystem Image andSelect Hardware pages.
  3. Make your changes, and then click Finish.

    4. The AVD appears in the Your Virtual Devices page.

Create a hardware profile

The AVD Manager provides predefined hardware profiles for common devices soyou can easily add them to your AVD definitions. Ifyou need to define a different device, you can create a new hardware profile.You can define a new hardware profile from the beginning,or copy a hardware profile as a start.

For more information, see mksdcard and AVD data directory.
Device Frame: Enable Device FrameSelect to enable a frame around the emulator window that mimics the look of a real device.
Custom Skin Definition (Advanced)Select a skin that controls what the device looks like when displayed in the emulator. Remember that specifying a screen size that's too big for the skin can mean that the screen is cut off, so you can't see the whole screen. See Create an emulator skin for more information.
Keyboard: Enable Keyboard Input (Advanced)Select this option if you want to use your hardware keyboard to interact with the emulator. It's disabled for Wear OS and Android TV.

Create an emulator skin

An Android emulator skin is a collection of files that define the visualand control elements ofan emulator display. If the skin definitions available in the AVD settingsdon't meet your requirements,you can create your own custom skin definition, and then apply it to your AVD.

Each emulator skin contains:

  • A hardware.ini file
  • Layout files for supported orientations (landscape, portrait) and physical configuration
  • Image files for display elements, such as background, keys and buttons

To create and use a custom skin:

  1. Create a new directory where you will save your skin configuration files.
  2. Define the visual appearance of the skin in a text file named layout. This file defines many characteristics of the skin, such as the size and image assets for specific buttons. For example:

    }

  3. Add the bitmap files of the device images in the same directory.
  4. Specify additional hardware-specific device configurations in a hardware.ini file for the device settings, such as hw.keyboard and hw.lcd.density.
  5. Archive the files in the skin folder and select the archive file as a custom skin.

For more detailed information about creating emulator skins, see theAndroid Emulator Skin File Specification in the tools source code.
