Can I test a responsive website in Android Studio? How?

Question

I am trying to test a website responsiveness to see if it works fine on Android devices, but I don't have an Android device. Is there a way to test website responsiveness on Android Studio? I have already tried resizing windows and all those websites that do that. What I want is a software that emulates the Android operating system. If yes, please share how. Thank you.

Yes, you can test a responsive website using Android Studio's emulator. Here are the steps to do this:

1. Download and install Android Studio - https://developer.android.com/studio/
2. Launch ADV Manager (Android Virtual Device Manager) within Android Studio and create a new virtual device
3. Click the play button to launch your app. Choose the device that you created in ADV
4. When the emulator opens, close the app that opens on the emulator and navigate to the web browser on the device. You should be able to test your website without issue now.

If you run into problems, make sure that you have all updates installed in Android Studio.

Here is a reference that you can use to get the emulator up and running: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator
