How to hide bottom bar in Android Tablet emulator

I'm developing Android application in Android Studio and use Android Virtual Device Manager (AVD Manager) for debugging.

Now, I want to publish my app to the PlayMarket and I need to upload screenshots of me application for mobile device and tablets 7" and 10".

I run AVD Nexus 10 with Android API 33 and get screenshots like this.

enter image description here

How can I get rid of the bottom bar? I don't want these icons on the my app screenshots in PlayMarket.

Solution

  • This is a new feature for Android 12L (L = "Large) called the "taskbar". Read about it here. If you don't want it in your screenshots, just use an emulator with a lower API level.
