Android development is like cream, handling the emulator is on the other side.
Android emulator almost covers up the screen. In some cases you may not even see the
'Home' button of the emulator screen, like on screens with resolution 1366 x 768.
Using android emulator shortcuts is the best way to get rid of such problems. Using shortcuts may
also increase the speed at which you work with the emulators.
Thus regardless of the screen resolution use of android emulator shortcuts is always encouraged.
