使用命令行运行android模拟器

Question

I am running latest version of Mac OS and I want to run android emulator through command line tool. I have run the following command on Mac terminal and got the following error.

 $ emulator -list-avds
Pixel_XL_API_28

 $ emulator -avd Pixel_XL_API_28
PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU.

I also run the command with available options like below that is also available on official documentation developer.android.com

$ /Users/janedoe/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator -avd Pixel_XL_API_28 -netdelay none -netspeed full

What I need to do, so that I don't need to open android studios every time for only opening simulator.

Take a look here : Android Emulator Error Message: "PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPUS."

Then go as follows by cmd :

(the path to your emulators) - C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\emulator>

(the emulator name) - emulator.exe @Nexus_5 -dns-server 8.8.8.8 -writable-system
