Shortcut for resizing AVD emulator window in Android Studio

Question

I installed Android Studio 3.6.2 on recently bought dell latitude 5401 which runs on windows 10 pro.

The Android Virtual Device rendering on my laptop is too big for 14" screen, and too big to do any development.

What I am looking for is - shortcut to scale or resize Android AVD on Android Studio

a screenshot of the emulator size on the screen i already tried the ctrl+down key shortcut but it didn't work, any solutions ?

Answer 1

You can resize emulator just by dragging on corner when resize arrow appears

Check this answer: on Show emulator window in smaller size

For Android Studio 3.5. solution was already posted Checkout : How to resize the emulator in android studio 3.5

Edit I think it can not be scaled below a certain threshold. But Resizing by dragging works in Android-Studio-3.6.2.

And because of your small laptop screen size, there is no information about additional scaling internally by copy-pasting code snippet.

You can rather go with Genymotion which is

1. lightweight
2. small-size and low on resource
3. can be resized according to preference

To use and run Android-Applications on Genymotion, run Genymotion and from Android-Studio install Genymotion plug-in then choose the Genymotion location.

When Genymotion is on, Android Studio detects it, you just need to hit Play button on Android studio to run Android-Application in Genymotion
