The VM Heap value should be set to 64MB for the Kindle Fire – 1st Generation and to 256MB for the Kindle Fire – 2nd Generation and Kindle Fire HD models.Ĩ.
Leave the default RAM value in Memory Options.Ħ. Set the CPU/ABI menu to ARM (armeabi-v7a).ĥ. Use the Target menu to select the option matching the Device setting, in this case the Kindle Fire HD 7” (Amazon) – API Level 15 target.Ĥ.
Set the Device menu to Kindle Fire HD 7” (800 x 1280: hdpi).ģ. Note that spaces and other special characters are not permitted in the name.Ģ. Enter a descriptive name (for example KindleFireHD7) into the name field. Within the dialog, perform the following steps to create a Kindle Fire compatible emulator:ġ. Assuming a new Android SDK installation, no AVDs will currently be listed:īegin the AVD creation process by clicking on the New… button in order to invoke the Create a New Android Virtual Device (AVD) dialog. Once launched, the tool will appear as outlined in Figure 4 2. Alternatively, the tool may be launched from the command-line using the following command: android avd This can be achieved from within the Eclipse environment using the Window -> Android Virtual Device Manager menu option. In order to create a new AVD, the first step is to launch the AVD Manager. For the purposes of this chapter, an AVD will be created configured to emulate the Kindle Fire HD 7” device. At time of writing this consists of Kindle Fire (1st Generation), Kindle Fire (2nd Generation), Kindle Fire HD 7” and Kindle Fire HD 8.9” devices. In order to test the behavior of an application on the full range of Kindle Fire devices it will be necessary to create an AVD for each device configuration. Report this ad Creating a Kindle Fire AVD New AVDs are created and managed using the Android Virtual Device Manager, which may be used either in command-line mode or with a more user-friendly graphical user interface. Figure 4-1, for example, shows an AVD session configured to emulate the Kindle Fire HD 7” device. When launched, a Kindle Fire specific AVD will appear as a window containing an emulated Kindle Fire device environment. As part of the installation process outlined in the previous chapter, a number of emulator definitions were installed allowing AVDs to be configured for the current range of Kindle Fire devices. An AVD may be configured to emulate a variety of hardware features including options such as screen size, memory capacity and the presence or otherwise of features such as a camera, GPS navigation support or an accelerometer. AVDs are essentially emulators that allow Android applications to be tested without the necessity to install the application on a physical Android based device.
