<p>To delete an existing AVD, ensure that it is not running (select it in the Device Management view and click | |
<uicontrol>Stop</uicontrol> if necessary), then right-click it in the Device Management view and select | |
<uicontrol>Delete</uicontrol>.</p> | |
<p>To edit an existing AVD:</p> | |
</context> | |
<steps> | |
<step> | |
<cmd>Click the <uicontrol>Device Management</uicontrol> tab, if necessary, to bring forward the Device | |
Management view.</cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step> | |
<cmd>Right-click the AVD and select <uicontrol>Properties</uicontrol>.</cmd> | |
<stepresult>The Android Virtual Device properties dialog appears.</stepresult> | |
</step> | |
<step> | |
<cmd>To alter the timeout, click Android Virtual Device in the left part of the dialog, and then change the | |
timeout value in the field on the right.</cmd> | |
<info>Note that you cannot change the name, target, skin, or path for an existing AVD.</info> | |
</step> | |
<step> | |
<cmd>Click <uicontrol>Startup Options</uicontrol> on the left side of the dialog.</cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step> | |
<cmd>Alter the AVD's startup options using the <uicontrol>User Interface</uicontrol>, <uicontrol>Disk | |
Images</uicontrol>, <uicontrol>Network</uicontrol>, <uicontrol>System</uicontrol>, and <uicontrol | |
>Others</uicontrol> tabs. Note that only the more commonly-used AVD options are presented on these tabs; if | |
you need to specify additional options, enter them into the field on the <uicontrol>Others</uicontrol> tab, | |
command-line style.</cmd> | |
<info> | |
<p>For a description of each of the startup options displayed on the various tabs, see <xref | |
href="u_new-device-startup_android.dita"/>. For all of the possible command-line arguments, see <xref | |
href="http://d.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html#startup-options" format="html" | |
scope="external">http://d.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html#startup-options</xref>.</p> | |
<p>Except on Mac OS X, to work with the emulator in a separate window simply close the Android Emulator view | |
and click <uicontrol>No</uicontrol> when you are asked if running emulator instances should be stopped. | |
Opening the Android Emulator view while the emulator is running externally causes the emulator to be shown | |
in the view. On Mac OS X, things work somewhat differently: see <xref href="t_emulator-external.dita"/> for | |
instructions.</p> | |
