What exactly is a android skin


I am new at this forum, and this is my first question. I have no idea what is a android skin I have searched for something but I don't understand what exactly is..

In the android AVD, there is an option to set the android skin to

HVGA, QVGA, WSVGA, etc.

I want to open the android avd emulator to test a game made in unity3d, and I want to try with all android devices, and I just met with this, and I have no idea what I have to do.


Solution

  • A Simple Google Search about those terms would have got you the answer.

    They are Screen Resolutions. Different devices come in Different Screen Sizes and Resolutions. VGA - Video Graphics Array HVGA - Half VGA QVGA - Quarter VGA WSVGA:Wide Super VGA
