IDX Road Map, android emulator question

General
1

I don’t see android emulator improvements on the road map…
The current state of the emulator is woefully in need of enhancements.

Is Android Studio on IDX going to offer better and more choices in the emulator?
I was hoping to see the emulator get some love in the next update…

Hi @jam - that is an oversight. Improvements to the emulator are high on our list. I will get that list updated shortly :grinning:

Top of mind are:

  1. More device types to choose from (maybe even foldables?)
  2. More toggles to make the emulator switch orientation, change color mode, and other settings

Any others that you think we should consider?

Cheers,
Kirupa

Hey @kirupa , that sounds great!

Changing orientation, latest pixels, foldables, and tablets would be welcomed.

Also in the emulator window, it be nice to remove or get it to ignore the regular webpage, backward and forward.
And copy/paste to and from the emulator,
and audio would be welcome too. :slight_smile:
