Emulator screens look different

I made an AVD with API 23 that is nexus 4 and it looks like this

enter image description here

Not like this with Buttons & Manu in separate panel.

So, I want to know does Android Studio provide emulator screen as the original physical device? And not as the 2nd image above? Or I have some problem with my emulator. Why my emulator have no additional panel with buttons?

Guide me please.

Solution

  • Check this:

    • Open SDK Manager
    • Go to tools > Manage AVDs
    • Edit your AVD and change the skin to "Skin with dynamic hardware controls"

    If not and really headache... go for "Genymotion". Works great, free and every single "physical buttons" works. Here: https://www.genymotion.com/#!/download

    It looks like this:
