Adding custom hardware properties allows you to override the default values for an AVD.
For example, you can alter the amount of RAM available to each process (via the vm.heapSize
property), or you can alter physical features of the emulated device, such as the presence of a keyboard.
A list of common properties, along with their descriptions and default values can be found in the "Setting hardware emulator options" section of the Android Developers' site.
To set a new hardware feature (or override a default value), enter the property name and the desired value.
Generally, boolean properties should be either yes or no rather than true or false.
Hardware properties configured here will be added to the appropriate AVD next time this job runs.
However, removing hardware properties from the job configuration will not remove these properties from the AVD
— the previously-added properties will remain.
