cli to open emulator without open android studio

open-avd

this project is based in this question, Open AVD or emulators without opening Android Studio that has this gist to work in linux and my modification to work in windows 7.

Support

• linux install bin
• windows (execute avd.sh)
• macOS (execute avd-mac.sh)

To run

• copy file with base in your OS
• change permission to 755
• execute file to open emulator

To install bin in linux

• createa file in /bin/avd
• AVD file or AVD2 file
• change permission with this command sudo chmod -x /bin/avd
• run avd in terminal

emulator.exe path

emulator resides on C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator on latest versions, not on tools

should change to:
...
pushd ${ANDROID_HOME}/emulator
...

Compatibility with Android Studio 2023.2.1 Canary 15

Since several versions now (don't know which), on canary Android Studio, the avd.sh script is not working anymore because of an extra INFO line shown by emulator command.

i adapted the script to fix it:

#!/usr/bin/sh

# don't show pushd stack
pushd () {
    command pushd "$@" > /dev/null
}

pushd ${ANDROID_HOME}/emulator
emuAvds=$(./emulator -list-avds)
# echo "emuAvds: ${emuAvds}" # DEBUG


echo "Emulator Android Virtual Devices:"
avds=$(echo "${emuAvds}" | grep -v ^INFO | cat -n)
echo "${avds}"

ignoredINFO_lines=$(echo ${emuAvds} | grep ^INFO | wc -l)
# echo "number of beginning INFO lines ignored: ${ignoredINFO_lines}"
# eg. INFO line: 
# INFO    | Storing crashdata in: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\\AndroidEmulator\emu-crash-34.1.12.db, detection is enabled for process: 8548

printf "Select AVD to start: "
read index
#echo "index: ${index}" # DEBUG

emuAvdsIndex=$((${index} + ${ignoredINFO_lines}))
#echo "emuAvdsIndex: ${emuAvdsIndex}" # DEBUG


avd=$(echo "${emuAvds}" | sed "${emuAvdsIndex}q;d")
echo "Selected ${emuAvdsIndex}: ${avd}"
./emulator -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd "${avd}"
popd

I tested it in git bash in windows on android studio canary.
Would be good to test on current stable android studio emulator before releasing.

Cheers
