Screen Size in Eclipse Simulator

Question

I'm going through a simple example - I'm using Eclipse -

When I click on the "run" toolbar icon, my app start screen is shown (as I was hoping for) but the entire droid simulator is huge / too large.

I searched and found that I should go to Window - Android SDK and SDK Manager. The highlight my simulator and select start then click Scale Display to Size and then enter the dimension. Then Click Launch.

When I do this procedure I get a generic android window -I can slide the start bar and so forth but I do not get my start screen of my program (set up in the main.xml).

Can you help resolve this?

Answer 1

In Eclipse if you Select the Android SDK and AVD Manager in the Window drop down menu.

You should be able to change the screen size of your Android Virtual Device (Emulator) there.

Look up the resolution of the device you're targeting. E.g. QVGA for the HTC Wildfire.
