We can perform a wide variety of operations on our android emulator if they are rooted by default (we have the superuser access). This is something which Trell needed for checking firebase event logging, anything less than android-29, so picking a decently lower version made sense to observe backward portability of the app. Now make sure your bashrc file looks likeīut we will specifically be using system-images android-25 google_apis armeabi-v7a version. cmdline-toolsīy now you have taken care of the basics, now we need to set the path variables (which would save us the pain of writing the entire path every time we want to call sdkmanager or emulator etc.) $ nano ~/.bashrc #Nox multi instance manager file location install#$ sudo apt update & sudo apt install default-jdk unzip -y $ cd Emulator-Environment-Setup $ unzip commandlinetools-linux-6609375_latest.zip $ mkdir. (currently hosted version by android doesn’t work for me :/) #Nox multi instance manager file location zip#This will contain your command-line tools zip file. Now, once you have logged into your t2.medium instance, you’ll need to clone this repository: Emulator-Environment-Setup into your instance. One important thing to note about this entire usage is that you can’t access your emulator using GUI interfaces (actually, you can but that’s something I have planned for some later post :P ), so we need to make sure that anything and everything we do is done solely by CLI (aka, our good old terminal!) I’ll be using a classic t2.medium instance (Ubuntu 18.04, 64 bit, x86 arch) for our purpose, with adding 25 GB storage to the instance (believe me, classic 8GB won’t cut it), make sure you have the authentication (.pem) key for logging into your instance and let it bootup! Now, let’s move on to setting up the emulator environment and the instances we would need along with it! Setting Up the Emulator Environment □□□ ![]() You can simulate incoming phone calls and text messages, specify the location of the device, simulate different network speeds, simulate rotation and other hardware sensors, access the Google Play Store, and much more. The emulator provides almost all of the capabilities of a real Android device. Taking the definition directly out of Android’s book, we can define the Android Emulator as a tool that simulates Android devices on your computer so that you can test your application on a variety of devices and Android API levels without needing to have each physical device. I am around 3 years late to this party (but definitely in sync with the time in terms of the use case) but still, let's get done with the formality and move on to the good stuff.
