I created an android API level 30 emulator, and ran one of my apps from Android Studio. I'm quite sure this app doesn't have anti-screenshot features, and yet, I couldn't capture a screen shot as the "camera" icon near the logcat was greyed out. Any idea why, or how I could enable the screen shot functionality?
The camera icon is at the bottom left in the image.
in your given screen shot there is in red color text which shows "No Device". I thing you have start your emulator but please make sure emulator is online. if its still not work then restart your ADB and then try again

Whenever I want to set a specific location/route, the AVD just shows me a black screen
However, the other settings are working just fine.
Other than updating the emulator, I tried looking it up online but couldn't find anything, any idea as to what can cause this?
If that can help, I am running the emulator from the command line. If I launch it from the IDE however the location settings do work. That is a temporary solution for me but I'd like to know if there is something else I can do about it?
I concisely described the problems in the screenshots; read the below description IF needed.
The bottom bar on the Android Emulator showing the three hardware buttons (square/circle/triangle = Overview/Home/Back, respectively) suddenly disappeared. They were there the night before. Next morning, poof! Gone.
Ok, so the three buttons don't show on the emulator. So then I use the SIDE PANEL which ALSO shows the hardware buttons. HOWEVER, the square Overview button (⌘O) (aka the App Switcher button) in the side panel DOESN'T WORK. This means I can't open the app switcher now (where you see all apps running in the background).
So the hardware buttons on the screen have disappeared, and the side panel (as a backup) that also has these buttons -- well, ITS square Overbutton button (⌘O) doesn't work, so the side panel is not helping either.
I used the AVD manager to add a replica of the device, and it fixed the issues, but then after some days, the same issue occurs again. I'm using MacOS.
Any suggestions? Thanks much!

Tl;dr: in AVD, edit your device, click "Change" on your hardware profile, then un-select "Has hardware buttons"
For me, this was all I was missing, and after a Cold Boot of my device the 3 hardware buttons showed on the bottom of the emulator again.
Official Android Studio documentation on hardware profile properties:
Input: Has Hardware Buttons
Select this option if your device has hardware navigation buttons.
Deselect it if these buttons are implemented in software only. If you
select this option, the buttons won’t appear on the screen. You can
use the emulator side panel to "press" the buttons, in either case.
If you're using AVD through Android Studio, I would check out the answer to this question, it seems to have more updated screenshots than a lot of answers on here: Android Studio emulator missing hardware buttons
Android Studio version: 2022.3.1
Ever since I installed Android Studio, I'm already experiencing this. I can't see the remaining options below. Every time I scroll down, this happens.

I'm trying to use the emulator in android studio, but the screen is displaying with the wrong size and even position. This is what it looks like.
I've tried changing android device, android operating system, and turning off the border, none of which solved my problems. I'd appreciate help. I'm afraid this problem is causing by DPI aware scaling - I have a high resolution screen.
It's a nice aesthetic touch to see it as an "actual" device, but if it's not going to display properly, it's just an eyesore. Disabling the frame also seems to make the emulator run smoother as well.
In Android Studio 3.14
Tools -> AVD Manager
Actions -> Edit this AVD (Pencil icon)
Uncheck Enable Device Frame
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
My basic goal is that I'd like to be able to take screenshots of my Android tablet via Android Studio which is running on my Windows laptop.
I gather I need Dalvik Debug Monitor Server (DDMS) to do this, however I'm struggling to find it within Android Studio.
All the guides I've read so far mention that you simply click on the DDMS menu button in the toolbar. This seems to appear like a green android robot.
Well, I have the android robot and so I click on that. The tooltip for the button says 'Android Device Monitor', nothing to do with DDMS.
And then normally says 'Android Monitor is already running' and does nothing. But all I have on my screen is Logcat and Monitors tab. I can't see the same stuff that I usually see on DDMS screenshots.
Occasionally it will throw an error which appears in the log files (but too big to post here)
How can I fix this?
Ok, officially dumb.
The DDMS was opening up in the background of another monitor.
Carry on...
