avd-launcher

Launch an Android Virtual Device without Android Studio.

But why?

We can already launch AVDs without Android Studio by using the emulator command.

$ emulator -avd avd_name

This CLI tool does nothing more than wrap the above command and provides an easier way to interface.

Install

Install via npm:

$ npm install --global avd-launcher

Then run avd launch from your terminal.

Notes

Currently, this tool assumes that you have an ANDROID_HOME environment variable set in your shell that points to a valid Android sdk directory.
