Is it possible to emulate the notch from the Huawei P20 with Android Studio

Huawei's P20 has an iPhone X like notch on the top of the screen. Can this "notch" be emulated in Android Studio so it is possible to test how an app is rendered on it without owning a P20? I looked in the settings and it is possible to select a "skin" in the Hardware profile but Huawei's P20 is not part of it.

To enable it, locate the information for your phone and tap the build number seven times to enable them. After enabling the Developer options, open it and look for a setting called 'Simulate a display with a cutout'. Tap it, and from the menu that opens, select the kind of notch you want to add to your display.

What is skin in Android Emulator?

What is the notch on Huawei?

That's okay; loads of phones have launched with notches this year. What Huawei has done differently is introduce a feature that lets you turn the notch “off.” Very simply, this setting changes the status bar to black, which effectively camouflages the cutout containing the phone's front-facing camera and speaker.

So I googled around and it's actually possible to emulate the notch in the developer preview of Android P.

To develope against that, you need to setup an emulator running Android P and then set the notch simulation in the developer settings of android.

Here is the official article to setup that notch simulation in Android P Cutout API

Once that is done you can start testing and adapting to the new changes coming with these notches and Android P.

Yes, its possible to simulate notches in the Android Emulator:

  1. Install Android P
  2. Enable Developer Options

Follow the Steps( Make Sure You Have Enabled Developer Option Before Doing this):

  • Simulate the notch(Inside Developers Options)
  • Go to Settings
  • Click on System
  • Click on Advanced
  • Select Developer Options
  • Scroll Down Until You Found-> Simulate a Display With a Cutout(CLICK ON IT)

This will trigger a Dialog showing Some Options:

  • None (This is the default behaviour)
  • Corner Display Cutout(Display's a Cutout on Corner)
  • Double Display Cutout (Shows Notches Up and Down)
  • Tall Display Cutout (Shows a tall Notch at the Top)

Select Double Display Cutout or Tall Display Cutout

How to Enable Developer mode

  1. Go to System → About emulated device → Build number
  2. Tap/click on "Build number" 5 or more times, until you see the message "you are now a developer"

How to Enable notch/cutout on emulator
