Wish How can I add a AVD 5" Phone

How can I add a avd 5" Phone ? (see image below).



I have 5" MI phones and many times it is with family when I am working on B4A, so I use avd, no problem there. But when I design, either the views are cramped (4") or spread out (6") compare to what they look on my phone when I install it finally.

So I was looking if it was possible to make a 5" avd.
I searched for 'avd 5" Phone' but did not get desired result.

There is no 5'' skin in the default Android SDK installation.

Note that it is a mistake to create layouts to any specific screen size. It shouldn't be too difficult to create a layout that looks fine on 4, 5, 6 inch devices. Use anchors and designer script to build the layout.

Use anchors and designer script to build the layout.

Yes, I am doing it and satisfied with result.

Since, I am developing for my myself only, when I design and debug in avd, I have less screen area than my real phone. See below images,



So I was wondering if there was an option to make "any" inch avd. No problem if no such facility exist.
