I've created a custom build of Android and got it running as an emulator image on the development machine. I need to be able to use that image on another computer running Windows (it was built on the Mac). I've found the image files that the emulator uses (ramdisk.img, userdata.img and system.img) but I'm not sure how to create a new target that I can access from the SDK and AVD manager. Anybody have experience with this?
Thanks
You should perform the following steps:
Create a new AVD in AVD Manager with the version equal to your custor ROM.
Go to %userprofile%/.android/avd/your_avd_name.avd and substitute system.img with your built ROM
Run created AVD.

I am new in android and trying to run a simple Hello world! program using android studio. I defined an AVD which is a Pixel device with API version 28 (Pie). When I run the program, the emulator gets up, but it doesn't load the application. I have tried following, but none of them worked:
Restarting avd server from command-line.
Changing skin to QVGA.
Creating a new emulator.
Setting graphics to software.
Any idea on the issue?
I think you do not enabled USB Debugging in your AVD.
Try this steps:
1- go to your AVD setting
2- System
3- About Device
4- Multiple Clicks on Build Number
5- Go back to setting
now you see Developer Options
6- goto developer options
7- check USB Debugging
Hope to be useful
Have you enabled USB debugging inside the emulator?
Before you create an Android emulator, you need to install an Android system image that your emulators can use.
Note: If you installed the Android SDK and NDK during RAD Studio installation, a valid Android system image (such as Android 4.2.2 API 17) should already be shown as Installed in the Android SDK Manager. In this case, you do not need to install another Android system image.
Still, if you are not able to run the emulator then try this Memu Emulator
This is a very small and simple emulator to use and install. It works perfectly on every pc.
I built a custom ROM based out of AOSP (7.0 for Nexus 6) and I would like to use this ROM with SDK emulator. The lunch combo for the build is 'aosp_x86_64-eng' which I believe
should work on SDK emulator. However, I don't see an option in AVD Manager to specify my custom system image. It only allows me to use the listed ROMs from Google.
I tried copying my custom ROM's system.img over the stock Nexus 6 AVD but the emulator doesn't launch after that.
Note that the emulator that gets generated during the build works fine. But the build happens on a server, and I want to use the generated ROM on my development machine with my SDK's AVD Manager.
Found out that it can be done using the following steps.
Create a compatible AVD using the stock AVD System Images. In my case, I used a system image that is for Nexus 6 running Nougat on x86_64 ABI.
Go to ~/.android/avd folder and then locate the folder for the AVD that you created above (ex. ~/.android/avd/test.avd). Copy your custom system.img file into that folder.
Run the emulator!
When I tried it for the first time this didn't work for me because I have chosen the wrong base image (Nougat x86 instead of x86_64). Catch is to make sure that the stock system image is fully compatible with your build.
I am trying to run a phonegap application for android on my OSX.
when I try to run phonegap through CLI I get this
No target specified and no devices found, deploying to emulator
Error: No emulator images (avds) found.
1. Download desired System Image by running: /Users/susanne/Documents/roger/02_Onni/09_development/application/android-sdk-macosx/tools/android sdk
2. Create an AVD by running: /Users/susanne/Documents/roger/02_Onni/09_development/application/android-sdk-macosx/tools/android avd
HINT: For a faster emulator, use an Intel System Image and install the HAXM device driver
I have done no 1. but I cannot find the 'android avd' file mentioned in number 2. Also even though I connect an android device it does not find it.
I would be very happy if anyone could help. This is probably not a phonegap specific question but rather an Android question.
This problem is because of you didn't created device. So you have to firstly create the device in android sdk.
For creation of android device you have to install the avd first.
i have some screenshot hope help you.
Prepare your Android API like this:
Then go to Tools->Manage avds :
In my case i have created 2 devices already. go to Create:
and then add specification that which kind of device you want here is dummy for your understanding :
click Ok and your device will created. then run your app again.
thanks.
I use macosx yosemite, all environment configured and works for another software development.
Try to learn some android development, after installed Intellij 14 and SDK, I found I cann't create AVD in AVD manager. Just like this, after choose hardware there is no system image found.
But, there are system images displayed for only one time (it's not the first time I run AVD MANAGER) I try to create AVD, but after that time I have never seen them again.
Is it possible to run an Android emulator without setting up Eclipse. I'm working with a contractor that has provided me with the .apk file.I was hoping I could run it without setting up a whole testing environment.
There's no relationship from Eclipse and Android emulator other than the launcher icon.
You can even run the emulator as a stand-alone application, there's no even need for android SDK.
The Android SDK tools are completely separate from Eclipse. You can simply download them from Android's website and run the AVD Manager.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
If you'd like to install apk on emulator simply start emulator and type in console
adb install path/to/apk/file.apk
You can find adb tool in
<android_sdk_path>/platform-tools/
