How to simulate sleep mode on Android emulator
android, android-emulator, android-virtual-device
Solution
Try the following on emulator
- Go to `Settings`
- Go to `Developer options`
- Un-check `Stay awake` (3rd option from the top)
The emulator will go to sleep after 1 min (default setting) if not changed.
Press the power button to wake up the emulator.
`Developer options` is not enabled by default, to enable it, do the following:
- Go to `Settings`
- Click `About emulated device`
- Click `Build number` 7 times, you should be notified that `Developer options` is now enabled
- Go back and you should see `Developer options`
Problem
Some users of my Android application report bugs when the mobile enters sleep/power saving mode. I would like to test that issue on the Android Virtual Device. Is it possible to simulate the mobile entering in sleep/power saving mode on the AVD ? Thanks in advance.
