Running the emulator

After setting up the environment and possibly modifying it as well you are finally ready to run the emulator. This is not difficult and you only need to execute one command.

Execute command

---

$ bin/run-emulator.sh [Android SDK installation directory] [AVD name]

Where:

Android SDK installation directory = The directory defined in setup-tools.conf

AVD name = The name of the AVD you want to start

Troubleshooting

---

• Virtualization has to be enabled from BIOS
• x86 emulation requires hardware acceleration, KVM must be properly installed and usable. This means that running the android emulator within VirtualBox is not possible!
