command line - Mac Terminal - How to start Android Virtual Device Manager on CLI?

Question

I am currently developing a mobile web application and I don't have a test device yet so I'm using the android-emulator to check the site. On my mac, I have installed the stand-alone Android SDK. Every time I want to use the AVD Manager, I have to execute the following on my terminal:

monitor

This command (being executed on the installed android sdk path) will open the Android Device Monitor and from here, I go to its menu bar and select Window Virtual Device Manager just to open the AVD Manager. So, is there a shortcut for that? I mean, i want to directly open the AVD manager via cli.

Answer 1

I was able to open it from terminal with:

android avd

You may need to navigate to your SDK tools/ first. Here is reference I used: AVD Manager
