Android : How to Create Android Emulator for Nexus10?

Question

I am trying to create the android emulator for Nexus 10 using latest ADT(21) and SDK tools. I have the following configuration for the Nexus 10 AVD:

Screen Size - 10 inches  Resolution - 2560 X 1600  Screen Size - xlarge Screen Density - Xhdpi  Screen ratio - long RAM - 1024 

Let me know if this configuration is wrong. After creating the above Configuration I was able to create the AVD but couldn't load it. It only shows a black screen. What could be the problem here?

I am Using Ubuntu 11.10.

Answer 1

I had the same issue. You can do one thing,

1) When you create AVD, make sure Use Host GPU option is checked.

It worked for me, in my Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and eclipse juno.

EDIT : Sorry folks for the confusion. There is no Google Nexus 10 skin (at the time of writing this). What you see in the image is a Nexus 10 equalant I created using Device Definition (AVD manager 2nd tab) feature of eclipse. It is just I named it as Nexus 10 and it is not default google emulator.

Answer 2

I think the monitor resolution is more important than the hardware of your computer. I have a PC i7 & 16GB RAM under Windows 7, with two DELL monitor 1920x1080 and it is imposible to run Nexus 10 emulator. This computer runs Nexus 7 emulator perfectly.

But my less powerfull iMac i5 & 8 GB RAM under OSX Mountain Lion, runs perfectly Nexus 10 AVD.

I have tried with/without use host gpu option, and only work when it is checked.

I have tried to emulate other devices like Samsung Galaxy S4 and it happens the same!

By the way, it is recomended to specify low value RAM and SD Card values for performance (512MB & 16-96MB).
