Launch Android emulator on console (without graphic desktop )

Question

I'm trying to run android emulator on terminal I have downloaded android sdk on VM ubuntu server (Thus I dont have graphic desktop, only terminal console).

I want to run emulator on terminal as a service that I can use for install App and run some tests(battery consumption, install, others). I want to create some AVD and run test scripts on it.

But, I cant launch emulator without graphic desktop. Is it possible?

Answer 1

I find that it's possible start Android Emulator without graphic with this command:

$emulator -avd <avd_name> -no-window

Also you can add other commands to clean data on emulator

$emulator -avd <avd_name> -no-window -wipe-data
