Hello,
Yes I follow all the instructions. After some days of use I understand that this problem happens when I’m using the emulator of android studio but not when I’m using the external Android Emulator.

Hello, I have the same issue with Android Studio

I have the same issue when I use Android Studio to Emulator Galaxy S21 skins. And I followed all the instructions above 2 times. The first attempt didn’t work, but the second attempt was surprisingly successful.

Thanks a lot,

I had the same problem. I renamed the extension for fore_port image from .png to .webp and resized it to match the device. After that it worked for me. It is possible that the renaming is enough.

I had the same problem. Don’t know the cause, but I manage to get it working without changing “layout” file.

Looks like when using the emulator inside Android Studio with “Launch in the Running Devices tool window” enabled, the layout file is not properly loaded or its configurations are not rendered correctly. When this option is disabled everything magically works.
After running it perfectly outside tool window, I re-enabled the option and this time everything works inside Android Studio as it should in the first place.

So, after testing, if you want to run the emulator inside Android Studio you must follow these steps:

  1. Disable “Launch in the Running Devices tool window”
  2. Run the emulator
  3. Close the emulator
  4. Enable “Launch in the Running Devices tool window”
  5. Run the emulator again

(Every time that layout file changes, you’ll also have to follow these steps to apply the changes)
