Repair the AVD's config.ini file to get the correct skin parameters, after the creation using the avdmanager.
If the avdmanager is used to create an AVD with the -d or --device option, it fails to set the correct skin parameters within the config.ini file. This results in a misconfigured resolution when starting the AVD with the emulator command.
Invoke the avdmanager to create an AVD using the --device option, example:
$ avdmanager create avd --force --name "testAVD" --package "system-images;android-23;google_apis;x86_64" --path ~/Projects/Test.avd --device "Nexus 5X"
Now run the AVD using the emulator -avd testAVD command. The snapshot shows what is meant by misconfigured resolution:
