comment Smallest Width for Galaxy S and Galaxy S2
That hasn't been my experience. I have the S2 emulated as 480x800,hdpi,normal & the S3 at 1280x720,xhdpi,normal. The screenshots from my emulator look pretty damn close to what users have sent me from their real devices. One comment though -- text and things on your computer monitor can seem hopelessly too large if you don't use the size scaling feature of the emulator. e.g. on my 22" monitor, I need to scale the emu display by 0.4-0.5 to make it the "actual" phone size. Even then, text can look comically large, but holding up my actual phone to the monitor convinced me that this is correct

Does your 2nd Activity have a Dialog view? If so, setCancelable(false) may be what you want.

I think what you're missing is that even the real Galaxy SII will have a sw of 320dp, and NOT 340. So you are emulating the real device accurately

You're misunderstanding me. You are emulating the real device correctly. The Android OS (not the emulator) does not "support" dpis that are not 120,160,240, or 320, so it takes the closest one. Link provided in answer.

This hasn't anything to do with the emulator. It's a feature of the framework. You'll have the same problems on the actual device

afaik, the framework doesn't use the actual density but "rounds off" to the nearest of 120, 160, 240, 320px, corresponding to low, med, high and x-high. So both your devices would report sw=320. This can lead to irregular results -- I also have issues with this on Galaxy devices
