I just want to set android emulator without studio-ide and use it like a mobile and tweak it.
I have downloaded command-line tools from https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-6858069_latest.zip
Unzipped in folder $HOME/AndroidSDK.
I just want to run some emulators.
Then ran below
cd ~/AndroidSDK/cmdline-tools/bin
./sdkmanager --sdk_root=$HOME/AndroidSDK/cmdline-tools --list --include_obsolete --verbose
./sdkmanager --sdk_root=$HOME/AndroidSDK/cmdline-tools --verbose "emulator" "platforms;android-25" "system-images;android-25;default;arm64-v8a" "platform-tools"
./sdkmanager --sdk_root=$HOME/AndroidSDK/cmdline-tools --licenses
./avdmanager -v create avd -n Nougat -k "system-images;android-25;default;arm64-v8a"
I got below error when creating avd.
Error: Package path is not valid. Valid system image paths are:ository...
null
It is related to How create android emulator without android studio?
But I can't find proper solution to my problem.
Where it is going wrong?

How do I download the Android SDK without downloading Android Studio?
I am answering my own question.
Where I made wrong is, decompressing to wrong directory and using wrong --sdk_root.
As said in here, I have to create a dir called cmdline-tools and decompress in it. Now we will have another cmdline-tools dir. We have to rename it to the respective commandline tool version we are using. In my case it is 3.0.
Finally my script should be look like below.
mkdir -p ~/AndroidSDK/cmdline-tools
cd ~/AndroidSDK/cmdline-tools
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-6858069_latest.zip -o tools.zip
unzip -q tools.zip
mv cmdline-tools 3.0
cd 3.0/bin
./sdkmanager --list --include_obsolete --verbose
./sdkmanager --verbose "emulator" "system-images;android-25;default;x86_64" "platforms;android-25" "platform-tools"
./sdkmanager --licenses
./avdmanager -v create avd -n Nougat -k "system-images;android-25;default;x86_64"
../../../emulator/emulator -avd Nougat
See https://github.com/HemanthJabalpuri/AndroidEmulator_without_Studio for more info.
I have a run.sh like this
virtualenv -p python3 env
source env/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 -m profilo.workflow_demo trace.log blocks
When i run this on terminal it runs ok but when i run this shell in external tools android studio it raise an error.
/home/cpu10475-local/Desktop/python/run.sh: 2: /home/cpu10475-local/Desktop/python/run.sh: source: not found
/home/cpu10475-local/Desktop/python/run.sh: 3: /home/cpu10475-local/Desktop/python/run.sh: pip3: not found
Process finished with exit code 1
My tool config is here:
I think the External Tools in Android Studio doesn't support source. So you should try removing the first 2 lines and installing pip3 then run the module again.
I am trying install Android environment in AWS server.
Here it is buildspec.yml file that contain set of command to install
Android SDK, NDK and gradlew for generate android build .
SDK and NDK for Android successfully downloaded and installed at AWS Ubuntu system. Even I can see a log for ./gradlew build that build
successfully.

While I try to execute ./gradlew assemble command for Android build it can generate application file (.apk) in Android output directory in Android Studio
but unfortunately it's not working in AWS CodeBuild environment.
Anyone have deep insight regarding this issue ? Please suggest if you find anything wrong in set up part.
I have followed this tutorial for AWS CodeBuild.
I think the problem here is with propagating the environment variable values across commands that CodeBuild does not follow. CodeBuild executes each commands in fresh shell. The last 2 commands would essentially set sdk.dir and ndk.dir variables to be empty (you can validate this by running cat local.properties).
- echo "sdk.dir=$ANDROID_HOME" > local.properties
- echo "ndk.dir=$ANDROID_NDK_HOME" >> local.properties
The right approach here would be to move your build logic to a script that gets executed from the buildspec.yml
- ./my-gradle-build.sh
or
Not use the environment variables to set variables in local.properties, but use paths instead.
- echo sdk.dir='pwd'/android-ndk-r13b > local.properties
- echo ndk.dir='pwd'/android-ndk-r13b >> local.properties
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
I am running a calabash-android test using docker. When I build the container with my docker file it seems like nothing executing except the first line. When I check whether ruby installed or not it shows the ruby version. Apart from that nothing is working. I am adding the docker file structure here.

I have followed this link to implement the Docker file. Since this is for the first time I am setting up docker for android haven't the faintest idea whether it is proper or not. Someone please help to fix the issue. All kinda helps are appreciated.
I get this response for the docker build
Step 0 : FROM ruby:2.1-onbuild
# Executing 4 build triggers
Trigger 0, COPY Gemfile /usr/src/app/
Step 0 : COPY Gemfile /usr/src/app/ Gemfile: no such file or directory
First, as long as the docker build does not execute all the steps, it is perfectly expected to not see anything installed.
Second, the ONBUILD directives from the ruby:2.1-onbuild are made to complete the image when building a new one from said image.
As I mention before, you can try first using
FROM ruby:2.3.0
That does not require extra onbuild trigger.
I want to build an Android Studio app (the Gradle build system), but I want to do this via the command line.
Android Studio automatically creates a Gradle wrapper in the root of your project, which is how it invokes Gradle. The wrapper is basically a script that calls through to the actual Gradle binary and allows you to keep Gradle up to date, which makes using version control easier. To run a Gradle command, you can simply use the gradlew script found in the root of your project (or gradlew.bat on Windows) followed by the name of the task you want to run. For instance, to build a debug version of your Android application, you can run ./gradlew assembleDebug from the root of your repository. In a default project setup, the resulting apk can then be found in app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk. On a *nix machine, you can also just run find . -name '*.apk' to find it, if it's not there.
there are two build types to build your application using the Gradle build settings: one for debugging your application — debug — and one for building your final package for release — release mode.
Building in Debug Mode
First Navigate to Android studio project Root folder using CMD
run this command gradlew.bat assembleDebug
Output window look like this
Build signed apk in Release Mode
Edit the build.gradle file to build your project in release mode:
android {
...
defaultConfig { ... }
signingConfigs {
release {
storeFile file("myreleasekey.keystore")
storePassword "password"
keyAlias "MyReleaseKey"
keyPassword "password"
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
...
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
}
}}
run this command gradlew.bat assembleRelease
Try this (OS X only):
brew install homebrew/versions/gradle110
gradle build
You can use gradle tasks to see all tasks available for the current project. No Android Studio is needed here.
1. Install Gradle and the Android SDK
Either
Install these however you see fit
Run ./gradlew, or gradlew.bat if on Windows
chmod +x ./gradlew may be necessary
From this point onwards, gradle refers to running Gradle whichever way you've chosen.
Substitute accordingly.
2. Setup the Android SDK
If you've manually installed the SDK
export ANDROID_HOME=<install location>
You may want to put that in your ~/.profile if it's not done automatically
Accept the licenses: yes | sdkmanager --licenses
sdkmanager can be found in $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin
sdkmanager may have to be run as root
Try running gradle
If there are complaints about licenses or SDKs not being found, fix the
directory permissions
chown -R user:group $ANDROID_HOME
If you're reckless and/or the only user: chmod 777 -R $ANDROID_HOME
3. Building
gradle tasks lists all tasks that can be run
:app:[appname] is the prefix of all tasks, which you'll see in the Gradle
logs when you're building
This can be excluded when running a task
Some essential tasks
gradle assemble: build all variants of your app
Resulting .apks are in app/[appname]/build/outputs/apk/[debug/release]
gradle assembleDebug or assembleRelease: build just the debug or release versions
gradle installDebug or installRelease build and install to an attached device
Have adb installed
Attach a device with USB debugging and USB file transfer enabled
Run adb devices, check that your device is listed and device is
beside it
Automatically build and install upon changes
This avoids having to continuously run the same commands
gradle -t --continue installDebug
-t: aka --continuous, automatically re-runs the task after a file is changed
--continue: Continue after errors. Prevents stopping when errors occur
Run gradle -h for more help
You're likely here because you want to install it too!
Build
gradlew
(On Windows gradlew.bat)
Then Install
adb install -r exampleApp.apk
(The -r makes it replace the existing copy, add an -s if installing on an emulator)
Bonus
I set up an alias in my ~/.bash_profile, to make it a 2char command.
alias bi="gradlew && adb install -r exampleApp.apk"
(Short for Build and Install)
Cheatsheet for running Gradle from the command line for Android Studio projects on Linux:
cd <project-root>
./gradlew
./gradlew tasks
./gradlew --help
Should get you started..
I faced the same problem and seems that there have been many changes by google.
I can tell you the steps for installing purely via command line from scratch.
I tested it on Ubuntu on 22 Feb 2021.
create sdk folder
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/usr/lib/android-sdk
sudo mkdir -p $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
install openjdk
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
download android sdk
Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
Then down to Command line tools only
Click on Linux link, accept the agreement and instead of downloading right click and copy link address
cd $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
sudo wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-6858069_latest.zip
sudo unzip commandlinetools-linux-6858069_latest.zip
move folders
Rename the unpacked directory from cmdline-tools to tools,
and place it under $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools,
so now it should look like: $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/tools.
And inside it, you should have: NOTICE.txt bin lib source.properties.
set path
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/latest/bin:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/tools/bin
This had no effect for me, hence the next step
browse to sdkmanager
cd $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/tools/bin
accept licenses
yes | sudo sdkmanager --licenses
create build
Finally, run this inside your project
chmod 777 gradlew
sudo ./gradlew assembleDebug
This creates an APK named -debug.apk at //build/outputs/apk/debug
The file is already signed with the debug key and aligned with zipalign,
so you can immediately install it on a device.
FINAL STEPS
Here are the final steps. Make 2 .sh files with these contents. Use chmod 777 before on both. No sudo required.
Download_APK_Code_NOSUDO4.sh
# Don't forget to do chmod 777 Download_APK_Code_NOSUDO2.sh

PAUSE
Right-click and run via Powershell.
This will download an Android project via git, install the SDK and build the Android App.
Edit as per your convenience.
For Mac use this command
./gradlew task-name
MacOS variant
./gradlew <moduleName>:assemble<build_variant>
//e.g
./gradlew <moduleName>:assembleDebug
*./ means current directory
[More info]
Only for MAC Users
Extending Vji's answer.
Step by step procedure:
Open Terminal
Change your directory to your Project(cd PathOfYourProject)
Copy and paste this command and hit enter:
chmod +x gradlew
As Vji suggested:
./gradlew task-name
DON'T FORGOT TO ADD .(DOT) BEFORE /gradlew
Official Documentation is here:
To build a debug APK, open a command line and navigate to the root of your project directory. To initiate a debug build, invoke the assembleDebug task:
gradlew assembleDebug
This creates an APK named module_name-debug.apk in project_name/module_name/build/outputs/apk/.
note, you can also do this within Android Studio by clicking the gradle window, and then the 'elephant' button. This will open a new window called "run anything" (can also be found by searching for that name in 'search everywhere') where you can manually type any gradle command you want in. Not "quite" command line, but often provides more of what I need than windows command line.
This allows you to give optional params to gradle tasks, etc.
enter code hereCreate script file with below gradle and adb command, Execute script file
./gradlew clean
./gradlew assembleDebug
./gradlew installDebug
adb shell am start -n applicationID/full path of launcher activity
Adding value to all these answers,
many have asked the command for running App in AVD after build sucessful.
adb install -r {path-to-your-bild-folder}/{yourAppName}.apk
