run android emulator from terminal LINUX-MAC/WINDOWS

README.md

These scripts are based on https://shellmonger.com/2017/05/17/running-android-emulator-without-android-studio/ they work for mac/linux and windows.

• You must set ANDROID_HOME on your environment variables.
• I call them remulator to avoid name collision problems with the original command "emulator".
• Just place the script within a folder visible to your terminal usually PATH environment variable :D.

remulator.bat

@echo off
rem INFO:
rem You must set %ANDROID_HOME% in %PATH% VARIABLE

set AVD_NAME="nexus-dev"

if not "%~1"=="" (
    set AVD_NAME="%1"
    shift
)

pushd "%ANDROID_HOME%\tools"
start /B emulator.exe -avd %AVD_NAME% %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
