Unable to select android emulator in Xamarin VS

Question

I'm using Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 Edition (Update 3), with Xamarin 4.2 installed. I have the emulators downloaded via Xamarin Android Player, however I don't have an option to select the emulators from Visual Studio (Refer attached image). VS Select Emulator

There is no emulator dropdown next to debug button in toolbar, and VS always defaults to the first emulator, and doesn't let me choose one, even if there are multiple emulators available in XAP.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

After trying to figure out the problem for days, I was finally able to identify the real cause of the issue. I had to enable Standard toolbar in VS (Right-click on Toolbar, and select Standard. Refer Screenshot) to finally have the ability to select emulators.

I was under the assumption that the emulator list appears in Debug toolbar, and did not try checking the toolbar menu earlier.

Thanks for all the replies, and hope this helps someone else facing this issue.
