Pump to P1 as it blocks OEM to use new emulator density.

When and where does this error appear in Studio? I tried changing hw.lcd.density to 200 in config.ini on an emulator and it seemed to start up ok.

Please attach idea.log. Thank you.

The comments from reporter:

The issue is not when reading the config.ini. That is indeed the current workaround: create the AVD, then edit the config.ini to fix the density to 200.

The problem is when you use a hardware configuration (devices.xml) where the device specifies 200 for the display density Android Studio refuses to create the AVD with that density. The config.ini ends up with a different value written for the display density than what was in devices.xml.

The other missing densities (140 and 180) have the same problem.

It looks like the path to this error is: Device Manager -> Virtual -> Create Device -> Import Hardware Profiles -> (provide a device.xml file as described above).

Given that the emulator has been updated to support these values, it makes sense that we should allow them as well.

(Also the error handling is pretty abysmal here... there's no feedback to the user when the file fails validation, just the SAXParseExecption goes to the IDE error log.)

This should be fixed at tip-of-tree.

I just tested this (with an unsupported dpi) on the latest emulator and the error message of supported dpis does not reflect this change:

The version of 31.3.4 shows as the latest. Do we know when this will be released?

To clarify, the reported valid densities above do not match the schema:

The Studio part of the fix should be available in the Dolphin canary, which is publicly available. I think it's too late to patch it into Chipmunk.

The message you're seeing in the emulator in #9 is surprising based on b/171223840, you may want to follow up with the emulator team there.

@ro...@google.com As an FYI, the client tested in Dolphin Canary and it is still broken.

I will follow up with the emulator team.

I tested using Dolphin RC1 and this is working. The following pixel-density values are valid:

ldpi, mdpi, tvdpi, hdpi, 140dpi, 180dpi, 200dpi, 260dpi, 280dpi, 300dpi, xhdpi, 340dpi, 360dpi, 400dpi, 420dpi, 440dpi, xxhdpi, 560dpi, xxxhdpi

Android Studio created the proper config.ini in the AVD.
