emulator: Start an Android emulator device.
$ emulator -avd ${name}
try on your machine

The command "emulator -avd ${name}" is used to start an Android Virtual Device (AVD) emulator with a specific name.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "emulator": It is the command-line tool used to start the Android emulator.
  • "-avd": It is a flag that tells the emulator command to start an AVD.
  • "${name}": It is a placeholder for the name of the AVD you want to start. The actual name of the AVD should be provided in place of "${name}". For example, if you have an AVD named "my_avd", you should replace "${name}" with "my_avd" in the command.

By executing this command, the Android emulator with the specified AVD name will be launched, allowing you to test and run Android applications on the virtual device.
