The Emulator provides support to various media formats and codecs and OpenGL® ES acceleration. The Emulator, however, has some limitations and differences compared to physical target devices.
The following table lists the basic features supported in the Emulator.
Feature | Detail | Status | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Skin | 2 skin size types are supported, fitted to the screen resolution:
4 orientation modes are supported:
4 runtime scaling ratios are supported:
|
Supported | 2 skin layout types are supported:
|
Touch | Maru touchscreen device | Supported | - |
Key | Emulator keys: Home, Volume up, Volume down, Power, Host keyboard, and SW keypad | Supported | - |
Display | VGA card with 100 levels of brightness control
2 virtual overlay devices |
Supported | - |
OpenGL® ES | Compatible with OpenGL® ES 1.1 and 2.0
OpenGL® ES API pass-through via virtio |
Supported | The OpenGL® ES 1.1 functionality is not guaranteed on the Emulator, unless the graphics hardware of your computer supports OpenGL® 1.5.
The OpenGL® ES 2.0 functionality is not guaranteed on the Emulator, unless the graphics hardware of your computer supports OpenGL® 2.1. The host machine must support OpenGL® 1.4. |
Sound | AC97 device | Supported | Audio in:
Audio out:
|
Network connection | virtio | Supported | Raw socket protocol, such as ICMP, is not supported. |
Event Injector view | Sensors: acceleration, gyro, geomagnetic, proximity, light, motion, and orientation
GPS: manual, map, and log file Telephony: call and SMS Device: battery level, earjack, USB connection, RSSI info, and memory NFC: NDEF message, NFC tag, and P2P connection |
Supported | The Event Injector view is embedded in the Tizen IDE. |
Telephony | Modem simulation: call and SMS | Supported | AT command-based virtual modem. MMS and push messaging are not supported. |
SD card | SD card simulation using a host file | Supported | Not pluggable during runtime |
Camera | Virtual camera device connecting a host machine's webcam Support: preview, capture, and record Image format: YUYV, I420, and YV12 Attributes: brightness and contrast Resolution: 160 x 120, 176 x 144, 320 x 240, 352 x 288, and 640 x 480 Video resolution: 1280 x 720 for the WVGA, 320 x 240 for the WQVGA, and 640 x 480 for the HVGA devices. The supported video codecs are MPEG-4, H.263, VC-1 for both encoding and decoding, and H.264 for only decoding. |
Supported | While recording a video using the Emulator, an audio-video synchronization error can occur depending on your computer hardware and performance. |
Animation | Animating a UI Control object Animating a visual element object |
Supported | The animation functionality is not guaranteed on the Emulator, unless the graphics hardware of your computer supports OpenGL® 2.1. When animation is not supported, no animation events are available and no exceptions are thrown. If, for example, the application starts an animation for changing the position of a control, the animation does not occur. The position of the control is simply directly set to the target position defined by the animation, and the E_SUCCESS result is returned. |
