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

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
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).

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
My Android studio emulator screen is off the original positioning and I have tried resizing, reloading the emulator, and Android studio to no avail.
What is wrong with the emulator Display?

Experienced the same problem as Solanki after updating from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 (and Gradle update). Configuring the AVD graphics from/to "Automatic" had no effect.
Restarting and (installing Windows 10 updates - coincidence?) solved the problem and all running normally on start up.
you can just go to settings -> system -> scale and layout then change the size of text apps and other items to 125% restart android studio and run again the emulator.
good luck !
Update android studio if it's not up to date then go to settings and then in emulator tab tick on "Launch in a tool window". It will work

Not sure if this helps, but I had this same problem (together with the side panel menu being overly large) after updating from Android Studio 2.3.0 to 2.3.1. After restarting my computer it went away...
I am building an Android Application using Android Studio.
I want my layout to be as precise as possible, however, it seems that the list of Android Virtual Devices where we can render the layout to is limited to Nexus Devices as shown in this screenshot below:
and the "Generic Phones and Tablets" do not have much screen size and resolution variety, so I decided to add my device definition as such:
However, it did not appear in the devices that Android Studio can render a layout to in the Design view of a layout.
Solved
After restarting Android Studio, the newly created AVD (Samsung Galaxy Note 1) now appeared in my list of devices that I can preview the rendering to when I view my layout.
I think all I had to do was to restart Android Studio for it to appear. It works now.
The solution to this, is to restart Android Studio. The new devices should appear at the bottom of the list.
For others having similar issues, you may want to check the API level of your AVDs vs the compileSDK of your project. I've found that, at least for Wear OS AVDs, my devices that target an earlier API don't show up. Once I made them the same as my compile SDK version, they showed up.
