Note: You’ll need to be registered on the Samsung developer site to download the skins, but it’s a painless process.<\/em><\/p>\nIn the case of the s10e, the device has a 5.8 inch display and a resolution of 1080×2280. So we’re put that information into our virtual device in a minute, before we do that, extract the downloaded skin into the following folder<\/p>\n
\r\n%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\skins\\samsung_s10e\r\n<\/pre>\nNow we’re got all the relevant skin related files let’s move onto creating our virtual device.<\/p>\n
Android device manager<\/strong><\/p>\nFrom Visual Studio or Android Studio, locate the button to run the Android Device Manager. In either case either press New… or Create Virtual Device…<\/p>\n
To save trying to describe both UI’s I’m going to stick with the Android Studio UI. So after click on Create Virtual Device, do the following<\/p>\n
\n- Click New Hardware Profile<\/li>\n
- Set Device Name to Samsung S10e<\/li>\n
- Ensure Device Type is Phone\/Tablet<\/li>\n
- Set screen size to 5.8<\/li>\n
- Set Resolution to 1080 x 2280<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Leave all other options as they are but now scroll down to the Default Skin option. Clicking on the \u2026 button does nothing until you switch from No Skin<\/em> to select a skin, any skin will work. Don’t worry if you get a warning about the skin not being the right size as we’re going to change it now. Click on the \u2026 button and locate the samsaung_s10e folder we put the skin files into.<\/p>\nFinally, click Finish.<\/p>\n
\n- With the new device selected, press the Next button<\/li>\n
- Currently the s10e is running Android Pie API Level 28, so select this or your preferred version of Android<\/li>\n
- Press Next and if all looks good, then press Finish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you need to edit the configuration you can do so via the Android Virtual Device Manager, you’ll need to select the device and then click the edit button. You’ll need to click the Show Advanced Settings button to change memory, or if you wish to change the skin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
