Controlling emulator display on Vista, size, time, etc
I'm just starting to learn Android doing the Hello World app, and some of the emulator settings are larger than the screen so I can't see the whole thing - WVGA800 and WVGA854. The others (QVGA, WQVGA400, WQVGA432) are OK. And I can't move开发者_JAVA百科 the displayed emulator or drag the edge. One solution is to use one of the displays that fit, but I figured there should be a better answer.
I tried in Eclipse: Windows | Preferences | Android | Launch | Default em ops -timezone "America/Denver" -version -scale .3 to fix the timezone, show the version, and change the scale, and restarted the emulator (Run | Run) but the settings don't seem to change anything. The time is still universal instead of local.
I even restarted eclipse and the emulator, didn't help.
Also, when I Run|Run the Hello World, I have to click the emulator Menu key to get the Hello to display. The em normally displays probably the home screen with the icons.
Everything should be the latest version, I just downloaded it all yesterday.
Thanks!
I usually start the emulator from Window | Android SDK and AVD Manager (from the Eclipse main menu) and set the scale that way. I don't particularly worry about the time zone, since you need to handle all time zones, anyway.
Also, when I Run|Run the Hello World, I have to click the emulator Menu key to get the Hello to display.
Correct.
The em normally displays probably the home screen with the icons.
Only on the very first run of an AVD will it go straight to the home screen; subsequent runs go to the keyguard. This is identical behavior to a device (other than the device typically goes through the setup wizard on first run).
