How can I launch the AVD Manager with-out opening the Android Studio and creating a project ?

I remember it was possible for earlier version of Android Studio. I found the avdmanager.bat file in Android\Sdk\tools\bin but running it won't launch the avdmanger UI that we get from the Android Studio.

Anyone here faced the same issue and found a way to launch AVD manager from command line ?

There is no way to launch AVD manager from cmdline (It is deprecated)

There is no way to launch AVD from cmd line. But you can use avdmanager cmdline tool to create, delete, move, list & edit your AVD.

The avdmanager tool is provided in the "Android SDK Coommand-line Tools" package and is located in android-sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin\avdmanager.bat

To read more about cmdline avdmanager read this


To launch emulator from cmdline

Add the path first

C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator

Your path may be different update accordingly

An then run the cmd

emulator -avd "avd_name"

Reference Android developers launch avd from cmd line
