How to keep android emulator always on top in ubuntu 14.04

Question

How to keep android emulator always on top in ubuntu 14.04 I am using Android Studio 2.1.1 and emulator version of 25.1.6 It was working before updating Android SDK Tools to 25.1.6.

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I solved it like below:

First of all be aware that emulator has two different windows that are attached to each other.

1. Right Click emulator top bar, and set it as always on top
2. Right Click emulator icon on the dash, and choose "Emulator" this time use shortcut ALT + SPACE to reveal context menu and again choose always on top.

And that's it!

Note : every time you minimizes emulator window, do steps above again.

Answer 2

Click on the more option button on the side bar of your emulator. Go into settings. Active the option 'Show window frame around device'. Then right click on the window frame of your emulator. Click on the option 'Always on top'. That's it.

I know that this question if for Ubuntu, but anyone who wants another solution, as me on Debian, you could try this:

• More Actions
• Keep Above Others
