I recently updated the android studio software to the latest 1.1.0 version and this has messed up the emulator setup. I've tried adding -scale 0.8 (used this number just to test if it would scale down) to the additional command line option but it just moves the position of the emulator to the right. Does anyone know if there's a work around to getting the emulator back to the previous emulator style or a way to reduce/fit the emulator to the size of my screen? Would just like to add if there's a way to move the emulator as is it seems to fix to one position on the screen?

You contribution is much appreciated.

  • When u open any emulator setting it will show option like 2dp = 2px on screen.. use preferred option from it. If you dont get it I will post screenshot. – Harin Apr 14 '15 at 07:44

Possibly try using an emulator with a smaller screened device? Go in device manager and make a new device

  • Hi there, I've managed to reduce the screen size to just about fit using -scale 0.3. I tried from 1 to 0.4 and it didn't even move. I'll try making a using a screen device but i never required to do this until the recent update. – Hamid Apr 13 '15 at 20:14
  • @Hamid you know at this point I'm not sure, but try running it on a smaller screen device and it should work better – Grant Parajuli Apr 13 '15 at 20:58

From Android studio, in Run > Edit Configurations, open the Emulator tab. In the field 'Additional command line options:', type -scale 0.50 to get half size. enter image description here
