Using Android Emulator with an Apple Magic Mouse - android-studio

I am testing an Android App using Android Studio under macOS.
I find that using a magic mouse, sometimes I get a touch event when moving the mouse over the emulated screen, even though I have not clicked the mouse.
Anyone else experience this?

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).

Android studio screen capture button is greyed out

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

Wear OS Navigation on Android Studio Emulator

I'm using Android Studio to develop an Wear OS standalone application.
Everything is working fine despite the emulator navigation.
When the Watch is started on the following screen I'm not able to simulate the navigation with the mouse (swipe, click, etc nothing works). How can I access the menus or start my app?
Thanks in advance
A cold reboot from the device solved the problem.
It seems the emulator was finally hanging.

Android studio emulator displaying screen wrongly

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

Can't seem to find DDMS in Android Studio 2.1.2

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...
