How to resize Android Emulator if it is too big?

How to resize Android Emulator if it is too big?


Issue:

Android Emulator is too big and unable to see options available in the bottom

Solution:

1. Launch Eclipse. I hope, it must have launched already.
2. Choose your project. Click on "Run" menu and choose "Run Configurations".
3. Choose your project from left window Android application section.
4. Choose "Target" tab from right side window.
5. There will be a option called "Additional Emulator Command Line Options" in the bottom of "Emulator Launch parameters".
[NOTE: If you are NOT able to see this option, it must be hidden there, you can drag Run Configurations window little more and make it big in the bottom. You will see this option. ]
6.  Add "-scale 0.8" this value without quote, in that "Emulator Launch parameters" field.
7. Click on "Apply"
Then, you can simply run your project as usual, the newly resized emulator will be launched. This is permanent solution for who are facing this issue.

Good luck guys!
