For example, AVD properties can be configured to specify how the AVD uses your development computer's graphics card for rendering. AVD properties specify the operation of the AVD when it runs. These characteristics include screen size, the amount of available RAM, whether or not an accelerometer is present. Hardware profile properties (such as hw.ramSize and hw.accelerometer) describe the physical characteristics of the emulated device. You can modify hardware profile properties and AVD properties. When you select a property, a detailed description of that property is displayed on the right. The New Device and Device Edit screens list the properties of the virtual device in the first column, with the corresponding values of each property in the second column (as seen in this example): The Android Device Manager supports the editing of individual Android virtual device profile properties. This article explains how to use the Android Device Manager (AVD) to edit the profile properties of an Android virtual device.
