Android – How to remove the device’s frame on Android Studio’s emulators

You can force Android to hide the virtual keyboard using the InputMethodManager, calling hideSoftInputFromWindow, passing in the token of the window containing your focused view.

// Check if no view has focus:
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {  
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

This will force the keyboard to be hidden in all situations. In some cases, you will want to pass in InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY as the second parameter to ensure you only hide the keyboard when the user didn't explicitly force it to appear (by holding down the menu).

Note: If you want to do this in Kotlin, use: context?.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager

Kotlin Syntax

// Only runs if there is a view that is currently focused
this.currentFocus?.let { view ->
    val imm = getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as? InputMethodManager
    imm?.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.windowToken, 0)
}

Windows:

• Install "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM)" => SDK-Manager/Extras
• Install "Intel x86 Atom System Images" => SDK-Manager/Android 2.3.3

• Go to the Android SDK root folder and navigate to extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager. Execute file IntelHaxm.exe to install. (in Android Studio you can navigate to: Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools -> Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer))

• Create AVD with "Intel atom x86" CPU/ABI

• Run emulator and check in console that HAXM running (open a Command Prompt window and execute the command: sc query intelhaxm)

Also don't forget install this one

P.S. during AVD creation add emulation memory: Hardware/New/Device ram size/set up value 512 or more

Linux:

• Install KVM: open GOOGLE, write "kvm installation "
• Create AVD with "Intel atom x86" CPU/ABI
• Run from command line: emulator -avd avd_name -qemu -m 512 -enable-kvm
• Or run from Eclipse: Run/Run Configurations/Tab "Target" - > check Intel x86 AVD and in "Additional Emulator Command Line Options" window add: -qemu -m 512 -enable-kvm (click Run)

P.S. For Fedora, for Ubuntu

OS-X:

• In Android SDK Manager, install Intel x86 Atom System Image
• In Android SDK Manager, install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM)
• In finder, go to the install location of the Intel Emulator Accelerator and install IntelHAXM (open the dmg and run the installation). You can find the location by placing your mouse over the Emulator Accelerator entry in the SDK Manager.
• Create or update an AVD and specify Intel Atom x86 as the CPU.
