How do I start android emulator from AUR?

I've downloaded android emulator from AUR, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-emulator/,  but I'm not sure how to start it. I run `emulator` and get the following error:

emulator: ERROR: No AVD specified. Use '@foo' or '-avd foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'

Where does one find these AVD's? Do I need to install something else? Cheers

How did you install it? I see some of it's dependencies are in AUR as well.
Also did you try something of what that suggests:

emulator: ERROR: No AVD specified. Use '@foo' or '-avd foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'

Cheers!

This is for Android Studio for the most part. Is there a standard command-line way of doing this properly?

Since 25.3.0 the emulator is part of android studio .

The first paragraph of the first uri posted by progandy links to a page you'll probably find interesting .
(if you can't find it, it's just below the video) .

Re: How do I start android emulator from AUR?

You can list avds with cmd:

emulator -list-avds

Output should be something like:

Pixel_4a_API_30

Copy this dev in the following command:

emulator -avd <dev>

It now should start the specified android emulator.

If you encounter issues with say not having the ANDROID_HOME and ANDROID_SDK_ROOT variables setup right, do the following:

export ANDROID_HOME=/home/<username>/Android/Sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$ANDROID_HOME

These were the path sdk paths for me

Re: How do I start android emulator from AUR?

Thanks for the contribution, but this thread is very old and the OP has not been back since December 2019.

Closing.
