Is it possible to turn on developer options for the emulator?

The Developer Options for Android are really useful. But I can't seem to enable them on an Android emulator (Nexus 5 running API 25). I tried clicking with my mouse 7 times on the build number to simulate the 7 taps on a phone. But the Developer Options don't appear.

How do I enable developer options on emulator?

The way you enable it is the same as you'd do in a real device. Go to: Settings -> System -> About emulated device -> Build number click that as many times as it takes to turn on developer mode, and that's it!

How do I open developer tools on Android Emulator?

You can either use the search box, as seen in the image above, to navigate to a URL, or you can navigate to a URL directly from Chrome in your Android device or emulator. If we click on "inspect," then it will open up developer tools in the URL you specified.

Developer options is not enabled by default. Below are the steps to enable it in your emulator

  1. Go to Settings -> About emulated device
  2. Click Build number 7 times (or till it says that you're a developer now).
  3. Go back and go to System -> Advanced -> Developer options

I have found a video on YouTube and worked for me. The way you enable it is the same as you'd do in a real device. Go to: Settings -> System -> About emulated device -> Build number click that as many times as it takes to turn on developer mode, and that's it!

Here is the video:
