Android emulator resolution, aliasing, gpu emulation

I just downloaded the Android 4.1 (API 16) packages using the SDK Manager and created an Emulator for JellyBean. What I see now is everything on the JellyBean emulator is aliasing. When I open the screen capture dialog in DDMS, the screen is HUGE - I think the emulator is scaling that down, thus causing the aliasing. Screenshot: emulator vs ddms screen capture

And here are the emulator settings: emulator settings

I've used these same settings (minus the GPU emulation = yes) before for my ICS emulators, including the built-in screen resolution WXGA720. What settings should I change to get rid of this problem?

Solution

  • Make sure that Scale display to real size is unchecked in the Launch Options dialog (which appears after clicking on Start... in the AVD manager).
