How Create AVD for Samsung Galaxy Tab



1. Open the Android AVD and SDK Manager 
2. Select Available Packages in the left panel of AVD Manager.



3. Click “Add ADD-on Site” and enter the URL below.
http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/android/repository/srepository.xml 




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:

    Hi,

    I use eclipse build v22.0.5-757759 and there is a separate AVD Manager , not "Android AVD and SDK Manager", so I tried the following steps:

    1.Open Android AVD Manager
    2.Tools->Manage Add-On Sites...
    3.User Defined Sites tab->New->enter the URL: http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/android/repository/srepository.xml

    After that I checked the Official Add-On Sites tab and Extras node in packages window, I found no Samsung GALAXY Tab Add-on packages.

    Could you kindly help me to solve this problem?

MCP vs CLI: Which One Fits Your AI Agent's Job?

  Every AI agent that touches the outside world does it one of two ways: it runs a shell command, or it calls a tool through the Model Context Protocol. Both get the job done, but they don't cost the same or fail the same way, which is why "MCP vs CLI" keeps resurfacing without resolving. I want to answer it for the cases that matter most: plain developer tooling, data-heavy systems like banking, forecasting pipelines, and transaction automation like billing or booking. Neither wins outright. Where you draw the line is the actual skill. Key Takeaways CLI is the default for anything the model already knows cold, git, file ops, text processing, since there's no schema tax and commands chain through pipes. MCP earns its cost when a system needs per-user auth, audit trails, or access to sources the model can't otherwise reach, exactly what regulated systems like banking require. Transaction automation works best split: deterministic code drives the repeatable steps, a...

ANDROID - Adding ActionBar Navigation Tabs

Note: if you are develop App < 3.0 Android OS then use  ActionBarSherlock   support library. ActionBarSherlock is an extension of the  support library  designed to facilitate the use of the action bar design pattern across all versions of Android with a single API. Create new Android Project : in Main Activity package com.AlarmManager; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar; import com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar.Tab; import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity; public class AlarmManagerActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity { public static String ACTIVE_TAB = "activeTab"; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light_DarkActionBar); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // s...

Don't Ship AI Agent Skills Without Evals

At the AI Engineer World's Fair on July 1, 2026, Philipp Schmid, a Staff Engineer on the Gemini API and agents team at Google DeepMind, asked a room full of engineers a simple question: who uses skills with their coding agents? Every hand went up. Who has evals for those skills? Almost none. That gap is the entire talk, which Schmid also wrote up on his own blog, philschmid.de/testing-skills . His team indexed the skills ecosystem through SkillsBench and found the same pattern everywhere: people ship a SKILL.md file after two manual test runs and move on. It looks fine in a demo. It quietly corrupts outputs in production, because bad skills don't crash. They just make the agent confidently wrong. If you've already read our breakdown of Matt Pocock's Claude Code skills library , think of this as the other half of that story: what happens once you've installed a skill and it's actually running against real prompts. Key Takeaways SkillsBench indexed 47,000+ un...
