androidandroid-studioandroid-emulator

Android emulator screen fills up only some fraction part of actual android emulator screen

First thing first,

Using Android Studio 2.3.3

Problem:

My emulator screen is covering the only partial amount of screen available for emulator, i.e top left of the emulator and rest part is just a black screen.

See the pic I have attached.

enter image description here

Things I tried:

1) Restarting emulator

2) trying different emulator

3) changing pixels, density of emulator device,

4) run -> edit configuration ..blah blah blah...

Nothing helped!!

Note:

My issue is not emulator's size but effective screen size.

please help if somebody could have come across this issue :(

IMPORTANT EDIT: I guess, this issue has something to do with the laptop I am using, DELL Latitude, touch screen (14-inch QHD touch display (2,560×1,440 resolution). Because the same emulator works properly in other display laptops.

Solution

  • I was having the same problem too. I think it started happening when I updated to Android Studio 3.0 Beta 1, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

    FIX: Anyway, to fix this, you can use Software Graphics in the emulator options, rather than Hardware. Slower, but at least it works.
