Android Emulator Screen resolution

Hi all,

I'm developing a app for Android, the emulator was running in QVGA yesterday.
After the night, nothing changed, but starting the emulator in QVGA, will start it in a small skin, but with a HVGA resolution.

The run commando for the emulator is:
/Applications/android-sdk-mac/tools/emulator -avd titanium_8_QVGA

But it will show a resolution that is too high.

Hope someone knows.
Thanks in advance.

  • Hi,

    Thank you for your reaction.

    In Titanium Studio, the target configuration of the running application is saying QVGA.

    The 'android' application, is a good advice, but the settings are right.
    Removed also every virtual device, then let Titanium create a new device. It still starts with HVGA.

    The android manager has then a device with QVGA in the settings. Starting it from the android manager, also started HVGQ.

    Should it be better to reinstall all Android stuff?

  • OK. But in Titanium Studio you are allowed to modify the screen definition (see 'Main' tab in the 'Run Configuration' dialog window and to choose whatever fits you).

  • Yes, found that, but that is why it's strange. Selected QVGA, but still opens a small device but with HVGA resolution :s

    Thank you for helping so far!

    • What about modifying your tiapp.xml file like this one (from one of my apps):

      <android > <manifest> <supports-screens android:anyDensity="true"/> [...] </manifest> </android>

  • Sorry, not working, also with false not working :(

    It's a really strange bug.

  • Hello,

    1) If you use Titanium Studio, in the "Run" button, use the "Run Configurations…" menu option to configure your emulator.

    2) Otherwise, type 'android' from the Terminal (without any parameter): you will be allowed to manage (create, modify, delete) your Android emulators, including choosing an existing skin or defining your own resolution.
