+ <p>MOTODEV Studio for Android can open the Android Emulator view for you whenever you start an AVD from the Device
+ Management view or whenever you launch one of the run configurations that targets an AVD (which automatically
+ starts the AVD, which can open the Android Emulator view). At the point where MOTODEV Studio for Android
+ determines that you might want the Android Emulator view opened, it prompts you. If you say "no", the view is
+ not opened: instead the emulator launches and runs in an external window.</p>
+ <p>To explicitly open the Android Emulator view:</p>
+ </context>
+ <steps>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>Select <menucascade><uicontrol>Show View</uicontrol><uicontrol>Other</uicontrol></menucascade> from the
+ <uicontrol>Window</uicontrol> menu. (If <uicontrol>Android Emulator</uicontrol> is listed under <uicontrol
+ >Show View</uicontrol>, select that; the Android Emulator view will open directly.)</cmd>
+ <stepresult>The Show View dialog appears.</stepresult>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>Select <menucascade>
+ <uicontrol>MOTODEV Studio for Android</uicontrol><uicontrol>Android Emulator</uicontrol>
+ </menucascade>.</cmd>
+ </step>
+ </steps>
+ <result>The Android Emulator view appears. Any AVDs running in the background will be displayed in this view. If no
+ AVDs are running, it will be empty.</result>
+ <postreq>
+ <p>Using this view you can interact with the emulated device. You can enlarge or shrink the handset image or
+ switch between portrait and landscape orientation using the controls at the top of the view.</p>
+ <p>Except on Mac OS X, to work with the emulator in a separate window simply close the Android Emulator view and
+ click <uicontrol>No</uicontrol> when you are asked if running emulator instances should be stopped. Opening the
+ Android Emulator view while the emulator is running externally causes the emulator to be shown in the view. On
+ Mac OS X, things work somewhat differently: see <xref href="t_emulator-external.dita"/> for instructions.</p>
