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.
