install emulator from command line
For generic skin emulator with default apis (without google apis):
-
List All System Images Available for Download:
sdkmanager --list | Select-String system-images -
Download Image:
sdkmanager --install "system-images;android-29;default;x86" -
Create Emulator:
echo "no" | avdmanager --verbose create avd --force --name "generic_10" --package "system-images;android-29;default;x86" --tag "default" --abi "x86"plaintextI recommend adding these lines to: ~/.android/avd/generic_10.avd/config.ini skin.name=1080x1920 # proper screen size for emulator hw.lcd.density=480 hw.keyboard=yes # enables keys from your laptop to be sent to the emulator If you cannot do this, you can still pass -skin 1080x1920 as an argument when starting the emulator. -
Run Emulator:
emulator @generic_10 &
showing stories in the browser
Stories not appearing in the browser once the emulator has loaded? Do the following then reload:
plaintextadb reverse tcp:7007 tcp:7007
automate repetitive text entry
Use adb to automate repetitive text entry like login forms:
powershelladb shell input text YOUR_EMAIL adb shell input keyevent 61 adb shell input text YOUR_PASSWORD adb shell input keyevent 66
permission denied in adb shell
For example:
bashadb shell ls /data/user/0/<your-app-id>/files ls: /data/user/0/<your-app-id>/files: Permission denied
Instead do this:
bashadb shell "run-as <your-app-id> ls /data/user/0/<your-app-id>/files"
update emulator from commandline
plaintextc:\Users\staff\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin λ sdkmanager --update
