| <title>Android Virtual Device Properties</title> |
| <shortdesc>Presents the basic properties of an Android Virtual Device (AVD), such as the name, target device, skin, |
| and the path to the AVD file. This properties dialog also allows you to specify proxy settings for connecting the |
| AVD to the Internet, emulator snapshot settings, the technology used when presenting the emulator in the Android |
| Emulator view (Windows and Linux only), and a timeout value used when launching the emulator.</shortdesc> |

| <section>To view the properties of an AVD, right-click the entry for the AVD in the Device Management view and |
| select <uicontrol>Properties</uicontrol> from the menu that appears. For more detailed properties, select |
| <menucascade><uicontrol>Android Virtual Device</uicontrol><uicontrol>Device Properties</uicontrol></menucascade> |
| in the left pane of the Properties dialog. Options that control how the emulator is launched can be found under |
| <menucascade><uicontrol>Android Virtual Device</uicontrol><uicontrol>Startup Options</uicontrol></menucascade>.</section> |

| <stentry><uicontrol>Proxy Settings</uicontrol></stentry> |
| <stentry>Select this option if you want the emulated device to use the same network settings that Eclipse is |
| configured to use. If your network requires the use of a proxy, for instance, and Eclipse is configured to |
| use that proxy, selecting this option causes the emulated device to use that same proxy for its network |
| communications.</stentry> |
| </strow> |
| <strow> |
| <stentry><uicontrol>Snapshot Settings</uicontrol></stentry> |
| <stentry>Enables the capture and use of a "snapshot"--a copy of the emulator's memory--to speed the emulator |
| startup process (subsequent to the first startup; the initial startup will proceed at the normal speed, but |
| after a snapshot has been taken subsequent startups can be based on that snapshot, bypassing much of the |
| startup process)</stentry> |
| </strow> |
| <strow> |
| <stentry><uicontrol>Internal Emulator Window</uicontrol></stentry> |
| <stentry>(not available on Mac OS X) Specifies whether, when displaying the emulator image in the Android |
| Emulator view, the emulator image is presented natively or using VNC. Leave <uicontrol>Show the Native |
| Emulator Window within an Eclipse View (Recommended)</uicontrol> selected unless you know that the native |
| option does not work correctly on your development machine (in which case you should select <uicontrol>Use |
| VNC to show the Emulator within an Eclipse View</uicontrol>). Note that you cannot change the <uicontrol |
| >Internal Emulator Window</uicontrol> properties while the emulator is running.</stentry> |
| </strow> |
| <strow> |
| <stentry><uicontrol>Timeout (sec)</uicontrol></stentry> |
| <stentry>Specifies the timeout value used when starting the emulator; if the emulator does not launch during |
| the specified interval, the launch is aborted. Note that you cannot change the timeout value while the |
| emulator is running.</stentry> |
