Arctic Fox: Android emulator doesn't have back button - android-studio

When creating emulator in AVD manager, enable hardware button was checked but there is still no hardware button below. It is android studio Arctic Fox and API level 30. Anything wrong with android studio? It is on macOS Big Sur.

You may try re-installing the emulator...
In case it doesn't work, check in your Emulator Android Settings, like their in our Android Phone that Full-Screen Display is disabled.
Settings > Display > Full screen display > Enable Buttons (Disable Full screen gestures)

When API level is reduced to 27, the emulator has hardware button and other features Android phone has.

Windowed mode emulator after Bumblebee update

Today I updated my Android Studio from the Arctic Fox to Bumblebee 2021.1.1, and I realized my AVD and emulator windows changed a bit. They were on separate windows, now they are on the right side-menu.
I windowed the emulator again to get the old style, but the mobile-phone on the emulator is not separated from the menu. In the older version, I only had the phone as a separate window, I didn't have window bars and side fillers that are marked on the picture below. How can I get rid of them and only get the phone instead of the whole window? I don't want it as "emulator window" but rather plain "phone".
If you want the old look in Arctic Fox, go to
File->Settings->Tools->Emulator and unselect "Launch in a tool window".
This way it will launch it seperately which is the same as in the old version.
For Mac go to Android Studio Preferences - Tools - Emulator and uncheck Launch in a tool window.

Android Studio Emulator no more considering Swipes on Notebook Touchscreens as Input

I upgraded to Android Studio Bumblebee 2021.1.1 and realized that I cannot fully control the emulator with the touchscreen of my notebook anymore. Press events on the touchscreen (like mouse clicks) are still recognized correctly, but when I swipe nothing happens in the emulator.
Unfortunately, I did not note down the previous version of Android Studio that I had installed before, but with previous Android Studio versions I was always able to fully control the Android emulator via the touchscreen (as if I was actually testing my app on a real mobile phone).
My Google searches did not show any results related to this issue. Does anyone have an idea what the root cause could be and if it is possible to fix it?
Disabling launch in tool window in Settings::Tools::Emulator fixed it for me (requires emulator restart to take effect).

Why did android studio change Nexus 6 to sdk gphone x86 arm?

Here are the phones
Here is the error message when I hover over the Nexus 6 phone
"Not applicable for main.dart configuration"
Image system is R. API is 30. Flutter doctor says there are no issues.
Running on macOS Catalina. Android Studio 4.0.1.
How do I get it to work?
Flutter in Android Studio doesn't use the regular Android Studio device selector (the one on the right that's grayed out) because you can also select iPhones as target, which Android Studio's selector cannot do. Disregard that device selector for Flutter development, it's not used. The first one alone determines the phone your Flutter app will run on.
sdk_gphone_<architecture> is the device fingerprint of an official Android emulator. Select your phone's fingerprint (it should be either "Nexus 6", or the Nexus 6's code name, which is "shamu") in the left dropdown menu instead to run it on that, or make sure you have no emulators running.

Android studio interface - Expand/Collapse code not visible

After exiting full screen mode on android studio the interface did not show up correctly, I fixed some of them by myself, I just cant seem to fix the last one.
The + and - to expand or collapse functions/methods is not showing, I can still do this by going to the toolbar > code > folding > Expand/Collapse.
I did try restarting android studio (few times), tried searching on google and looked into android studio's settings.

Change orientation in android emulator

I have a problem with the Android emulator, while working in Android Studio.
I press Ctrl+F12 (or Crtl+F11) Android emulator window change orientation, BUT android doesn't.
I looked in Android settings -> Display, and "auto-rotate screen" is ON.
I guess you have already found the answer, but this may seem helpful for future searches.
Environment: Android Studio 1.3.2, Windows 7, emulator for API19 (Android 4.4.2) :
Orientation can be changed using the "7" and "9" buttons of your keyboard's numpad. Num Lock must be disabled.
