Steps to add new skin into your Android Emulator:

  1. Need to download the skin of your desired device, Recommended URL https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy-emulator-skin/galaxy_note_series.html to download
  2. Then unzip this downloaded file, Now copy and paste this to /Users/YourUserName/Library/Android/sdk/platforms/android-29/skins
  3. Launch android studio and open AVD manager
  4. Now we need to add a device definition for that recently added skin
  5. In AVD manager click to this create virtual device option
  6. Now you will see the an option for New Hardware Profile option at the bottom left of this popup.
  7. Click to this New Hardware Profile, you will get a popup for Configure Hardware Profile. Add device and device type then scroll down and you will find an option for Default skin dropdown, Choose your newly added skin
  8. Afterwards press this finish button at the right bottom and you are done with device definition configuration.
  9. Now you can create your own virtual device with this newly added device definition.
