Debian 10 - Run android emulator with AVD Manager

Question

My dockerfile is here:

FROM openjdk:8

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y wget unzip && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

ENV ANDROID_HOME  /android-sdk-linux
ENV PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools/bin:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools

RUN wget -q https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip -O android-sdk-tools.zip \
    && unzip -q android-sdk-tools.zip -d ${ANDROID_HOME} \
    && rm android-sdk-tools.zip

RUN yes | sdkmanager --licenses
RUN touch /root/.android/repositories.cfg
RUN sdkmanager "tools" "platform-tools" 

# 0 (Stable), 1 (Beta), 2 (Dev), and 3 (Canary)
RUN yes | sdkmanager --update --channel=3

RUN sdkmanager \
    "system-images;android-29;google_apis;x86" \
    "system-images;android-28;google_apis;x86" \

    "system-images;android-19;default;armeabi-v7a" \
    "extras;android;m2repository" \
    "extras;google;m2repository" \

    "add-ons;addon-google_apis-google-22" \
    "add-ons;addon-google_apis-google-21" 

OS version: PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" . To create an android emulator, I run below commands.

$sdkmanager "emulator"
$echo "yes" | sdkmanager --licenses
$sdkmanager "--verbose" "--channel=0" "emulator"

$emulator -list-avds
$sdkmanager --install "system-images;android-29;default;x86"
$echo "no" | avdmanager --verbose create avd --force --name "my_local_emulator" --package "system-images;android-29;default;x86" --tag "default" --abi "x86"
$emulator -list-avds
my_local_emulator

Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ANDROID_HOME}/tools/lib64:${ANDROID_HOME}/emulator/lib64:${ANDROID_HOME}/emulator/lib64/qt/lib

I get an error when I start the emulator

$ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator @my_local_emulator "-no-audio" "-no-window" "-no-boot-anim" "-netdelay" "none" "-no-snapshot" "-wipe-data" "-gpu" "swiftshader_indirect" "-camera-back" "none" "-camera-front" "none" &

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration. Please ensure KVM is properly installed and usable: CPU acceleration status: /dev/kvm is not found: VT disabled in BIOS or KVM kernel module not loaded More info on configuring VM acceleration on Linux: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration#vm-linux General information on acceleration: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration .

To solve this error, I run below command: echo "yes" | apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils ia32-libs-multiarch echo "yes" | apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils ia32-libs-multiarch

Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... Package libvirt-bin is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'libvirt-bin' has no installation candidate E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-vm-builder E: Unable to locate package ia32-libs-multiarch

I have tried many commands and possible solutions, but none of them doesn't work for me. How can I run the emulator without android studio on debian 10?

Answer 1

Try the -no-accel flag when you start the emulator, maybe this will help.

https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-commandline

Disable emulator VM acceleration when using an x86 or x86_64 system image. It's useful for debugging only and is the same as specifying -accel off.
