I need to test my app in Galaxy S4. But I have no real device so I want to test my app in emulator. What will be the configuration needed to do this in emulator?

See this and you can increase the RAM size if your Machine can handle that.

  • How do you handle the system bar at bottom in emulator as S4 doesn't have a system bar in it. As per your config resolution takes 1080*1824 but it needs to be 1080*1920.. – Karthik May 29 '13 at 03:20

    I've created the same simulator but I couldn't run the simulator.. its taking too much time and then just timeout – Vishal Khakhkhar Jun 07 '13 at 04:57

    My PC configuration is Core i5 2.5 GHz and 8GB RAM 64Bit Windows 8 – Vishal Khakhkhar Jun 07 '13 at 11:50
  • To remove the system bar at the bottom, set "Buttons" to "Hardware" instead of "Software". – igordc Jul 23 '13 at 11:45
  • I tried to test an app with the same configuration Virtual machine except with 1gig RAM - wasn't able - it showed only a black screen and that was it. My computer supports FullHD and it is on a 64bit Linux - Any sugestions? – inf1ux Jul 24 '13 at 14:46

You should choose "Use Host GPU" option in Emulator options.

    I did the above and set **VM Heap** to 32 (instead of 64). Then I set the internal HD to 800 MB (from 200). It finally started up. – Rick Falck Nov 21 '13 at 02:00

I'm on mac the GPU makes it start but is very slow and the App icons come all compressed the messages boxes are reversed(as you'd see on a mirror).

Sansung has an on-line RemoteTestLab, that does not work either only once it popped but then it blew and never fires again.
