You can t       The Samsung Emulator has the same functionality as the Generic   Android Emulator  but varies with the size and appearance of the   device     The problem with Samsung is that they don t use a generic android image  they have custom apps and they react in custom ways and do weird things you wouldn t expect and when you re trying to fix bugs that s what you want  You cannot get that  You need access to a physical device to get the right ecosystem to hunt down the bugs and map out which intents work and how they work on that device  And sometimes there are errors that only occur on Samsung devices because some of the core rendering code is different as well  I ve had errors where all Android devices except Samsung would work flawlessly but the scheme itself could not work on Samsung and had to be scrapped  The only thing Samsung allows is skinning and that won t properly note the changes in the rendering pipeline or how the samsung ecosystem deals with intents   You can make the device look similar  that s worthless  I don t care what it looks like  I care whether this bug still affects that particular model or whether the tweak to the intents I made rectified the issue and I can t learn that from a pretty picture as the border to the same device

UPDATED  Matt provided a great link on how to add emulators for all Samsung devices   OLD  To get the official Samsung Galaxy Tab emulator do the following    Open the Android SDK and AVD Manager  Click on Available packages  Expand the Third party Add-ons  There you will see Samsung Electronics add-ons  Once the add-on is installed create a new emulator   Under Target you will see the new Samsung Tab settings  select that     That s it

If you are developing on Netbeans  you will not get the Third-Party add-ons   You can download the Skins directly from Samsung here  http   developer samsung com android tools-sdks  After download  unzip to     Android android-sdk add-ons name of device   Restart the Android SDK Manager  and the new device should be there under Extras   It would be better to add the download site directly to the SDK   if anyone knows it  please post it   Scott
