I have created an android 12 emulator to see one of the features that is material you theme

Emulator details are

Name: Pixel 5

CPU: x86_64

the issue is when I change the wallpaper from settings -> wallpaper & style, wallpaper changed but the theme according to the wallpaper color is not applied

So my question is

Is Material You supported in the emulator if yes, then how can I achieve this?

While Material 3 is working on Android 12 powerd physical devices

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/features

If you want to test dynamic colors on an Emulator, you need to use an Android 12L powered emulator.

This is an issue with Android Emulator system image based on API level 31.

In order to install API Level 32 (Android 12L) you can follow this link:

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/12L/get#set-up-avd

The image is now called API 32:

See how dynamic colors shows on API 32 eumlator (sx) and not on API 31 one (dx):

Make sure to use the dynamicLightColorScheme in MaterialTheme

Checkout my sample in how to implement: https://github.com/warting/android-material-you-sample-app/blob/0cd580996ab9468c20c89d10629ae5fc887de398/app/src/main/java/se/warting/examplematerialyou/MainActivity.kt#L65
