Is there a blank skin for the emulator? I have a nexus 7 and need the software buttons emulated but the skin itself, not so much. I know a nexus 7 skin is in the pipeline, what can I do in the meantime to get a semi-accurate emulation of the 7 inch screen size?

Not really asking for a feature request, more asking “is this possible, if so how”.

Hi mallyone,
The closest skin you’d get to a Nexus7 (800x1280) is the Kindle Fire HD 7", but as a Test Driver you can’t use that skin in the Simulator. I suppose the next closest would actually be the iPhone4, at least in regards to screen aspect ratio:
Nexus7: 800/1280 = 0.625
iPhone4: 640/960 = 0.667
Sorry I don’t have a better solution at this time. I imagine you are designing for various devices regardless, correct? Even other Android-based devices? Is the Nexus7 your primary target device?
Sincerely,

Thanks Brent, :). Right now I’m just coming up to speed with Lua and Corona and running some tests/benchmarks on the nexus 7. Currently I just want to make it easy on myself and hard code the resolution, once I get more comfortable I’ll try using scaling etc. to manage the various aspect ratio’s.
The iphone 4 emulator will be perfect for quick iterations and will then modify slightly for the nexus 7.
I have to say the Lua is kinda killing me, but the speed is worth it :).
Thanks for the quick help. [import]uid: 223211 topic_id: 36115 reply_id: 145326[/import]
