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.

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.
I don't know if it is help. Create an AVD for a tablet-type device: Set the target to "Android 3.0" and the skin to "WXGA" (the default skin). You can check this site. http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/optimizing-for-3.0.html
Go to this link ... https://github.com/bsodmike/android-avd-profiles-2016/blob/master/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Tab%20A%2010.1%20(2016).xml
Save as xml file in your computer. Go on Android Studio => Tools => AVD Manager => + Create Virtual Device => Import Hardware Profiles ... choose the saved file and the device will be available on the tablet's section.
Happy Android developments guys!!!

Extract zip file to add-ons under android sdk path. then launch Android SDK Manager. under "extras" folder check "Android + Google APIs for GALAXY Tab, API 8, revision 1" item and install package.
That's all.
