Don't see Android SDK and AVD Manager when execute android tool command

Question

I\'m developing android on Mac OS.

In the first time, I use android tool command (/tools/android) to launch Android SDK and

Answer 1

I downloaded and installed Android 4.0.3 (API 15) today and there is no "avd" tool in the /tools/ or the /platform-tools/ folder. However, you can access the Android Virtual Device Manager (AVD Manager) through the Android SDK Manager.

• execute the "android" tool with no arguments in the "Tools" window,
• select "Manage AVDs"

Answer 2

You can also add <sdk>/tools to your PATH if you use it often. Open your ~/.bashrc file and add this line:

# <sdk> is path to your SDK, e.g. /Users/akarienta/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:<sdk>/tools  

Then just reload the file by source ~/.bashrc or restart the terminal. Since now you can use commands like these (in whatever location you are):

# opens Android SDK Manager
$ android
# opens Android AVD Manager
$ android avd

"I know its a bit late answer but for future generations - this is how its done: Click on Window > Customize perspective > Command Groups Availability tab. Check the "Android SDK and AVD Manager" option and hit the OK button."

Answer 4

You can use the command line for opening Android SDK Manager, but make sure Android SDK manager is installed in your machine.

Use this command in terminal: ./android avd

Answer 5

From the Terminal change to the <sdk>/tools/ directory and type the following to display the AVD Manager window (I'm using android-sdk r15):

$ android avd

Answer 6

On the Run Configurations screen, there is a "Manager..." button, which will open up the AVD Manager. You must first select "Automatically pick compatible device..." to enable the "Manager..." button.
