I’m really not hot on Android emulator. Even when using custom skins I don’t want to take my real estate with the useless images of buttons etc. There are “blank” skins out there but I prefer to just run my emulator wit no skin at all. If you want to do it – here’s how to do it in Eclipse.
- Click Run –> Run Configurations
- In the left column find your configuration under “Android Application”
- Switch to “Target” tab
- Enter the following into “Additional Emulator Command Line Options” (hint: you may resize pop-up dialog to see it)
-scale 0.7 -noskin
Of course, all the buttons are gone so here two tables of shortcuts (credit goes to encke.net)
