Avd for Samsung Galaxy S4 not working

Question

I've created an avd compatible to Samsung Galaxy S4. here is the details for that:

1080 X 1920 API 14, Android 4.2

But when i try to run this emulator. It display nothing but a blank screen, seems not working at all.

Am i missing something ?

Can any body share his experience of working with Galaxy S4.

Answer 1

The problem is in the "use Host GPU" - it should be checked. I had the same problem - blank screen and AVD won't run. I edited the AVD settings and checked the "use Host GPU" - it works.

Answer 2

You can install sony device profiles from sdk manager and create a new avd using the device defenition of sony xperia z because Samsung galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia Z has the same configuration, so your app will look similar in both devices.
