I know this question has been asked before, but the answers are for older versions of Android Studio.
When I try creating a new virtual device, I no longer see a checkbox for "Enable Device Frame" and the emulator shows the frame by default. How do I hide it?
This has an answer here:
How to remove the device's frame on Visual Studio Emulator?
Open Android Device Manager from Visual Studio.
While your device is powered off, click the "..." in the top right corner
Select "Show in explorer"
Edit the file "config.ini"
Remove the skin.name and skin.path properties and save file
Start the device!
Image of the result
In my emulator option to hide frame is available here - try on your, and see if you have this potion

Recently, I updated my android studio to bumblebee version, and when I run my codes, I realized that my emulator are shown inside of my android studio instead of creating a new window for the emulator. you can see what I mean, here.
does anybody knows how to fix this? I already tried to change the settings but nothing is changed. should I reverse the update?
I had the same issue, to resolve it do the following:
In Android Studio: click on
File,
Settings,
Click on the Tools dropdown,
Emulator,
uncheck the "Launch in a tool Window" box
Settings with Launch in a tool window checkbox
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.
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.
In Android Studio 3.5.3 , the menu Tools->AVD Manager and View->Tools Windows->Logcat is not available when a newly(or existing) flutter project is opened.
I looked at https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/issues/2159 , and
<module type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
is in the outer most iml file.
Please suggest how to find/enable it. For now I have to open an Android project to open these two menu items.
LogCat won't appear for a flutter project and does not seem to be available to enable in the current version of Android Studio. If you open an Android project in another window, THAT window will have LogCat which can be connected to the device you are trying to debug.
AVD Manager does not have a menu item in Flutter but is available from an icon in the toolbar. See picture.
It's also worth checking out DevTools, which opens up in the browser, as an additional (not LogCat) debugging resource. The button to this is found in the Run Window when you are running an app.
There two ways to find or unable it
1. Go to the View-> Tool Windows and you can choose whatever you want to put in Tool WindowBar
2. Go to the View-> And Tick or select on Tool Window Bars
After doing that you can see the logs for particular apps, And for AVD manager...
Go to the Tools-> AVD Manager
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...
