How to simulate sleep mode on Android emulator

Some users of my Android application report bugs when the mobile enters sleep/power saving mode.

I would like to test that issue on the Android Virtual Device. Is it possible to simulate the mobile entering in sleep/power saving mode on the AVD ?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Try the following on emulator

    1. Go to Settings
    2. Go to Developer options
    3. Un-check Stay awake (3rd option from the top)

    The emulator will go to sleep after 1 min (default setting) if not changed.

    Press the power button enter image description here to wake up the emulator.

    Developer options is not enabled by default, to enable it, do the following:

    1. Go to Settings
    2. Click About emulated device
    3. Click Build number 7 times, you should be notified that Developer options is now enabled
    4. Go back and you should see Developer options
