Any device/emulator that is connected to your local instance of adb will show up in the Android Device List . If you are looking for a specific emulator such as Nexus 4(Lollipop) , this was most likely provided in Xamarin Android Player or Visual Studio Emulator For Android . Both of these are now officially deprecated and removed from the default device list unless they are already running. Beforehand, they were added as default emulators that you could run straight from the Android Device List .

You can still run the emulators with their standalone programs to boot the emulators and they should appear on your device list as long as you can see them with the adb devices command.
