For all the Android Developers on here

How similiar is the Emulator on eclipse to an actual android phone? i dont have my hands on an android device at the moment (will have one to test on soon) but i was just curious because ofcourse everything looks huge, my header looks small, is this what its going to look like on a phone too?

You can configure the AVD to resemble many different devices. Fred

When you create the AVD select the various options. You can have multiple AVD'a configured. Fred

Open up the ADT from either Windows or Eclipse.

The resolution and memory size. The best video explaining the process is on my guide found at www.MySkylla.com Go to the Eclipse section. Fred
