How to set the Size of an Android Galaxy Tab Emulator?

I have found a problem of access size on my Galaxy Tab emulator.

Some of its button are hidden from me so I am unable to run my application because I cannot see the button.

Solution

  • Use the scale display to real size option when you start the emulator to scale the screen of the emulator.

    I just found that the android plugin in Eclipse doesn't show this option if you just hit the run button, but you can still access it when you start the emulator from the Android SDK and AVD Manager tool which you can open from Window -> Android SDK and AVD Manager tool.

    PS: I know this because my laptop screen resolution is 1024x768, most tablets and some phones don't even fit in this, this option is a life saver for me!
