  • Change the toolbar position. – Prerak Sola Mar 10 '15 at 16:46
  • @PrerakSola sorry, just realize it is not toolbar problem. The emulator top bar always out of screen even if I create small size emulator. – vzhen Mar 10 '15 at 16:55
  • I also faced this problem.I made the emulator ration lower so that I can see the full emulator. – Shaiful Islam Mar 15 '15 at 17:05

  • I had the same problem and I thought to myself "REALLY?! I have to google this shit - it's not even a programming problem". The simple things with Android - still difficult. – Someone Somewhere Oct 02 '15 at 12:02

Press the Alt-Space keys and you should get the window with the option allowing you to move the emulator window. Then move it e.g. using keyboard arrows. It works for me on Windows 7.

Try to change your screen resolution temporarily (e.g. to a lower value). Then switch back to your original screen resolution. That should do the trick. Worked for me on Windows 8.

You can try this. When emulator will start, you need to start the same one again, so you will have two running, but the second one should pop up normally and you can move with it. After this, you can close the first one and then it will work for your next time too.

I had this problem in Windows 8.1.

You can also solve this by:

  1. holding the shift key

  2. while right-clicking the taskbar icon for the emulator

When you do that you'll get a different menu than if you only right-click the icon.

It'll look like this: enter image description here

Just click the Move menu item and then an four-way arrow will appear over the android emulator window. Use your arrow keys to move the Anroid Emulator window.

NOTE: If you click the mouse, you'll lose the four-way arrow and have to do the first steps again.
