emulator: Start an emulator with a given SD card partition image file.
$ emulator -avd ${name} -sdcard ${path-to-sdcard-img}
try on your machine

This command is used to start the Android Emulator with a specified Android Virtual Device (AVD) and an SD card image.

Here's what each component of the command means:

  • emulator is the command to start the Android Emulator.
  • -avd ${name} specifies the AVD to launch. ${name} is a placeholder for the actual name of the AVD you want to use.
  • -sdcard ${path-to-sdcard-img} specifies the path to the SD card image file. ${path-to-sdcard-img} is a placeholder for the actual file path of the SD card image you want to use.

By running this command, the Android Emulator will launch and use the specified AVD along with the configured SD card image. This is useful when testing and simulating various scenarios on an Android emulator device.
