Can anybody please tell what are the correct settings for emulating extra large resolution devices in Android? I want to create this AVD for 720 x 960 resolution. What other settings like abstract lcd density and other such settings needs to be applied?

In AVD
Manager, you can create XLarge Screens like SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab
and many devices listed if u have downloaded them through SDK Manager
of Android
. If the devices are not listed while creating AVD
, try to update run SDK Manager
once and install them.

actually i want to test my app on extra large resolution but not on Tab. So, i need to create an AVD with custom settings. I am searching for those settings. – Misha Bhardwaj Dec 20 '12 at 09:45

Do u find an option "Resolution" below "Built in" while creating AVD? Give the resolution u want to create... Note that the resolution u r giving is in pixels – Avadhani Y Dec 20 '12 at 09:49

No need of Hardware setting to be modified. The emulator will be installed with default Hardware settings... – Avadhani Y Dec 20 '12 at 09:57

I have already tried that. Its not using the images stored in xhdpi drawable folder. – Misha Bhardwaj Dec 20 '12 at 10:03

Obviously it doesnt take if u changes the resolution because "Built in" only takes the xhdpi images. I dont know y u r not intrested to use Galaxy tab AVD? if u use that it will take the images from the desired folder.... – Avadhani Y Dec 20 '12 at 10:06

sorry if I am not clear about my question. I know the resolution i.e. 720 x 960 but i dont know the other settings needs to be applied. Besides i want to test my app on phones like Motorola Razr so i can't use Tab avd – Misha Bhardwaj Dec 20 '12 at 10:15

You should understand about dp in android to set abstract screen density. You can read here for more http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
