How to configure an Android emulator for the Kindle Fire?


I want to configure an emulator to be compatible with the Kindle Fire, including its resolution. What do I have to change in the emulator settings (or elsewhere)?


Solution

  • From the Amazon Kindle Fire FAQ:

    You should configure your emulator with the following characteristics:

    • Width: 600px
    • Height: 1024px
    • Abstracted LCD Density: 169
    • Target: Android 2.3.4 - API Level 10
    • RAM: 512 MB

    *Note: The device will reserve 20px to display a soft key menu, making the effective portrait resolution 1004px high x 600px wide and the effective landscape resolution 580px high x 1024px wide.
