I’m newbie in Android application development. I just downloaded all SDks and Eclispe. Then I created sample project with the help of some online tutorials. On running the project for the first time it asked me to set virtual emulator and I then set some arbitrary values for layout (I guess 700), now when I run the project every time the emulator size is so big that it doesn’t fit im my computer screen.
How can I change the settings for emulator? also my emulator gets hanged and says not responding, any suggestion will be appreciate.
Apologies if the question is silly, I’m just trying out my hands at Android.

    Pramodtech… on Eclipse you can set the scaling factor from 0.1 to 3. 

    Go to Run --> Run Configurations... 
--> Target tab 
--> Scroll until you see Additional Emulator Command Line Options 
--> enter -scale <0.1 to 3> 
--> Apply

    If you want to change the screen size:

    Go to Window --> Android AVD Manager 
--> Virtual Devices Select AVD 
--> Select Edit 
--> Select Skin: Built-in HVGA (for 160) 
--> Edit AVD to save.
