How to run AVD Manager on Mac

If you don't want to use Eclipse this will fire it up.

Under tools folder write the following:

./android avd

Today Eclipse has been replaced with Android Studio in the SDK bundle.

Android Studio for Mac installs the SDK in a subfolder in the user's Library folder, so the full command line to launch the AVD becomes:

~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android avd

On newer versions of Android Studio, this should be done by running the avdmanager binary located on tools/bin/ (relative to the SDK root directory):

$ ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin/avdmanager

The same applies to the SDK Manager:

$ ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager
