Android Studio - Tablet emulator not showing correct resolution

Question

Just created a Nexus 10 emulator but when I start it, the wrong resolution is displayed. It keeps appearing as 800 x 1280 when it should be appearing as 2560 x 1600. Does anyone know what on earth is going on and how this can be fixed?

As requested by OP,

In the last step while creating your AVD, go to Advance Settings and select appropriate skin (or preferably select 'No Skin' option) to make sure your it comes with the resolution that you want.

Good point. For some reasons, the skins installed with Android Studio seem to have wrong resolutions, even for Google's devices. – Romonaromonda

@JoseGómez update existing or install new version 1.1. It will work for you. – Kali

What is the appropriate skin? nexus_10 is already selected but it still has wrong resloution – Fitter

@Fitter then select 'NO SKIN' and try. – Kali

I cant change skin definition. It always go back to the previous configuration when i change it. Any ideas why? – Alva

@VictorAugusto did you click on that drop down? – Kali

@KrupalShah i definitely did :) – Alva

then that may be a bug in Android Studio that occurs in certain circumstances. You can file an issue on Google issue tracker. – Kali
