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

Fast way in terminal (toggle always_on_top):

wmctrl -i -r $(wmctrl -l | grep ' Android Emulator - ' | sed -e 's/\s.*$//g') -b toggle,above
wmctrl -i -r $(wmctrl -l | grep ' Emulator$' | sed -e 's/\s.*$//g') -b toggle,above
