4. Check Samsung GALAXY Tab Add-on packages and click install button.
5. Check Samsung GALAXY Tab Add-on license & Click install button.
6) After downloading and installation of GALAXY Tab Add-on, you should restart ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or Eclipse.


The important specs of this device, from an Emulator perspective, are:
  • Target platform: Android 2.2, Galaxy Tab
  • Screen Info: High Density, despite the fact that it’s not, this is what it reports, WSVGA (1024×600)
  • No keyboard
  • Has dual cameras
Let’s create an AVD configuration called GalaxyTab:
  • Within Eclipse, launch the Android SDK and AVD Manager
  • Select “Virtual Devices” from the left-hand options
  • Click the “New” button to create a new AVD configuration
  • Name the AVD: “GalaxyTab”
  • Select the Target: “GALAXY Tab Addon (Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.) – API Level 8”
  • Input the SD Card Size: “2048 MiB” (or a suitable value for your uses)
  • Keep the default Skin Details: “Default (GALAXY Tab)”
  • Keep the default Hardware Property for Abstracted LCD Density: “240” (despite the real density being 170dpi)
  • Also leave the rest of the default hardware properties alone
  • Add a Hardware Property for Device ram size: “512”
  • Save the AVD



And output is as shown below:
