Android Emulator

Android Emulator

The Android SDK includes a mobile device emulator — a virtual mobile device that runs on your computer. The emulator lets you develop and test Android applications without using a physical device.
This document is a reference to the available command line options and the keyboard mapping to device keys. For a complete guide to using the Android Emulator, see Using the Android Emulator.

Keyboard Commands

Table 1 summarizes the mappings between the emulator keys and the keys of your keyboard.
