Emulate Samsung Galaxy Tab

Emulate Samsung Galaxy Tab

UPDATED:
Matt provided a great link on how to add emulators for all Samsung devices.

OLD:
To get the official Samsung Galaxy Tab emulator do the following:

1. Open the Android SDK and AVD Manager
2. Click on Available packages
3. Expand the Third party Add-ons. There you will see Samsung Electronics add-ons.
4. Once the add-on is installed create a new emulator. Under Target you will see the new Samsung Tab settings, select that.

That's it!

Is there an emulator for Galaxy Tab 10.1?

You can create an emulator with specifics matching the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the AVD (Android Virtual Device) Manager.

How to make emulator for Galaxy Tab or Kindle Fire?

Why is this different?

Because the device manufacturers in question chose to categorize their devices that way.

How to make an emulator for these tablets which will really reflect the real devices?

As the comment indicated, you can get a Tab emulator image that is what Samsung recommends that you use.

As far as the Kindle Fire, you follow Amazon's instructions to get the emulator that they recommend. You will not get a precise match, because Amazon's firmware works differently than the 2.3 stock firmware (which is not fully set up for tablets).

How to create a Samsung emulator

You have to scroll down on the left side of the "Configure Hardware Profile" page. Please have a look at the attached image

Galaxy Tab 2 Emulator

What do I need to do to get a working simulator of Galaxy Tab 2 (ICS 4.0) 10.1 in Eclipse?

First, "emulator" and "simulator" mean different things in Android. What you are referring to is the emulator.

(I ordinarily would not quibble about this, but a Googler recently got confused over the issue, so I am trying to make sure everyone uses the term "emulator")

Second, AFAIK, Samsung has not published any specific emulator image for the Tab 2, or for most of their devices.

Can I create it in AVD manager with some specific resolution, screen density, etc. settings?

You can find the settings of interest to you and attempt to set up an AVD that matches those settings. For example, IIRC, a Tab 2 is WXGA800 with an "Abstracted LCD density" of 240.
