My android emulator won't show the minimize or close button, It's stuck to the left of my screen and I can't drag it to the right or anywhere.

have you tried moving it with the keyboard? if you're using Windows -

Press ALT+SPACE+M together. You are now in Move mode. You might have to use the arrows UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT to move your window.

press Enter to exit Move mode.

Press ALT + SPACE + M and move the windows by press UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and it will work.

  • Thank you so much for solving such a crazy situation... This is Google we are talking about and yet such a frustrating situation... ALT + Space + M and then just arrows... too easy – subcan Jun 07 '15 at 07:10
  • Yes, who knows why this is left out of their solving objectives? :) – Szabi Zsoldos Jun 08 '15 at 07:21

Press ALT+spacebar then release and press m to get into Move mode. Use the arrow keys to move the window. Press Enter to exit Move mode.

sleepless is correct and it worked for me. I have Windows 8.1

  1. go to your users folder.
  2. go to /.android
  3. go to /avd
  4. go to /[emulator].avd
  5. edit emulator-user.ini change the y to 10 or more and save.

To resize the emulator while running:

  1. go to Control Panel

  2. Click on Programs

  3. Click on Turn Windows features on or off

  4. check Telnet Client and Telnet Server. hit 'OK'

  5. Run -> cmd

  6. type 'cd\'

  7. type 'telnet localhost 5554'

  8. type 'help' to get a list of commands

  9. type 'window scale .3' or .2 or whatever size you want and close

Thanks to E Angkor

There are two approaches: 1. remove the emulator-user.ini file under the .avd/ folder or the $HOME/.android/ folder and try again; 2. change the values of x and y in the above file to be >= 10

ALT+spacebar and then "Agrandir pour remplir le bureau" in french "Zoom to fill the office" worked for me.
