This repo is a collection of pre-configured Android emulator configuration files (AVD and ini files) and definitions (in devices.xml file).
Android Studio is a popular software development environment by Google (also known as integrated development environment) that enables programmers and engenders from all around the world direct access to the tools for coding, debugging, performance optimizing, version compatibility checking, hardware compatibility checking (various android devices and screen size, including tablets),.
Specifically, these are intended to assist web developers with testing websites across a multitude of versions of Androids with different device configurations. As such they usually include a hardware keyboard and buttons even when the device does not actually include those features.
- We have had Android Studio as the lead IDE for Android development for some while now. It was only logical Google used the new and improved emulator to showcase Android O. In this guide, we will show you how to setup Android O Developer Preview on your Android Studio Emulator. You first need to have Android Studio 2.4 setup.
- Jul 23, 2013 Because of the way that the Android tools expect things to be configured, you must run the 'linkavd' script every time that you pull from the repo. The tool will hard link the AVDs from this repo into your /.android folder and create and link the.ini files for those AVDs from /.android/avd/.ini to.
If you feel strongly about not including these convenience features, let me know and maybe we can figure something better out.
Because of the way that the Android tools expect things to be configured, you must run the 'linkavd' script every time that you pull from the repo. The tool will hard link the AVDs from this repo into your ~/.android folder and create and link the .ini files for those AVDs from ~/.android/avd/*.ini to the ini directory here.
If you are not using a system compatible with bash, copy all of the files under 'avd' to the directory where your AVDs are installed. Search and replace '/Users/user/.android/' in the .ini files with the correct path.

HAXM
For performance purposes, where the API supports it (2.3+), an alternate Intel Atom-based device has been configured. These devices have i or -i at the end. Using one of these devices requires that you have Intel HAXM installed.
Feel free to fork, clone and git-push to increase the number of devices defined.
