How Can I Get The Google Pixel 3 Emulator In Android Studio?

I'm currently running the latest version of Android Studio, v3.2.1. The virtual devices available only go up to the Pixel 2 (and the XL version). These do not suffice since I mainl

Solution 1:

To add a notch in the emulator, choose any device with Android Pie system image (9.0). Build it, then go to Settings > System > expand 'Advanced' > Developer options > 'Drawing' section > 'Simulate a display with a cutout' on the emulator.

You can use it until they add the official skin

*NOTE: The 'Developer' option is not shown by default on Android phones. Please see the Android Documentation to learn out how to enable it.

Solution 2:

Official AVDs for Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are available since Android Studio 3.4

Solution 3:

To save other's some searching, here's the configuration necessary for a custom Pixel 3 XL hardware profile:

Device Type: Phone/Tablet Screen Size: 6.3 inch Resolution: 1440x2960 px RAM: 8192 MB Has Hardware Buttons: false Has Hardware Keyboard: false Navigation Style: none Supported Device States: Portrait=true, Landscape=true Cameras: Back-facing=true, Front-facing=true Sensors: Accelerometer=true, Gyroscope=true, GPS=true, Proximity=true Default Skin: No Skin

Then you can enable the notch developer option mentioned by Mohamed Saber and you should have a pretty accurate representation of a Pixel 3 XL. 🙂
