The reason the android emulator starting from within Eclipse did not appear to have some emulator options available is that I did not fully extend the window shown in response to the Eclipse "Run/Run Configurations/Target" menu item. Vertically extending that window revealed the "Additional Emulator Command Line Options" field.
The reason for the emulator not starting from the (64-bit Vista) command line is still a mystery. I'll post that problem to the Android Issue Tracker if I don't get any tips from the group. - Greg On Jul 6, 11:18 am, greg <sep...@eduneer.com> wrote: > Although I can reliably start the android emulator from within Eclipse > (version 3.4.2), I would like to use some emulator options (e.g., - > scale) that don't appear to be available from within Eclipse.
