As I'm not developing my app with Android Studio, but I'm still using the Android emulator.
What's a nice way for me start up my emulator without doing this?
- Open Android Studio
- Open some project
- Click the AVD Manager button
I'm not looking for a complete CI replacement, but if there's a long command I can run to open the GUI I'm happy.
What about a script that show current avds defined and let you choose which one start ?
I called it avdmanager.bat in root of SDK (variable ANDROID_HOME set on SDK root needed):
@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET count=0
FOR /F "tokens=* USEBACKQ" %%F IN (`%ANDROID_HOME%\emulator\emulator.exe -
list-avds`) DO (
SET /a count=!count!+1
SET var!count!=%%F
)
for /l %%i in (1,1,%count%) do echo %%i) !var%%i!
@echo digit number of virtual machine to run or 'q' to quit
set /p choice=""
if "%choice%"=="q" goto end
@echo !var%choice%!
%ANDROID_HOME%\emulator\emulator.exe -avd !var%choice%!
:end
ENDLOCAL
Just a minor fix with the command -list-avds in @alrama's answer (the extra space), I cannot add comments yet.
@echo off

)
for /l %%i in (1,1,%count%) do echo %%i) !var%%i!
@echo digit number of virtual machine to run or 'q' to quit
set /p choice=""
if "%choice%"=="q" goto end
@echo !var%choice%!
