emulator: Start an emulator with network latency.
$ emulator -avd ${name} -netdelay ${select}
try on your machine

The command "emulator -avd ${name} -netdelay ${select}" is used to start the Android Virtual Device (AVD) emulator with specified network delay.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "emulator": This is the keyword to execute the Android emulator.
  • "-avd ${name}": The "-avd" flag stands for Android Virtual Device and is used to specify the name of the AVD to be launched. "${name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the AVD.
  • "-netdelay ${select}": The "-netdelay" flag is used to add network delay simulation to the emulator. "${select}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired network delay value. The network delay determines the time it takes for network requests to reach the emulator, helping to simulate real-world network conditions.

For example, if the AVD name is "my_avd" and the desired network delay is 500 milliseconds, the command would look like: "emulator -avd my_avd -netdelay 500".
