Android env scripts

Scripts to manage android stuff.

Setup

First make sure you have the right env variable set. Copy the variable of android_env in ~/.bashrc and edit to your liking. The first time, you need to refresh your environment with source ~/.bashrc.

Install

If you havent already installed Android sdkmanager and the basic packages, run install_android.sh

Create emulator

To create emulators, you can use make_emulators.sh. Edit the variables in the script to your liking.

Run emulators (headless)

The first time an emulator boot, it will make a snapshot post boot to accelerate futures boots. For some reason some time the first boot hang in an headless setup, ./emulator_first_boot.sh may help with the first boot.

To start the emulators normally, use start_emulators.sh

Stop emulators

To stop all emulators, run kill_all_emulators.sh

Delete emulators

To delete emulators, run delate_emulators.sh
