How do you connect your terminal with the Android emulator
- List all connected devices by typing
adb devices
Check, if there are any devices listed. If not you may want to check that your device is connected and/or your emulator is running.
- If it works and you have for example your emulator running and your usb-device connected use:
adb shellif you only have device connected.adb -d shellto connect to an USB-Device.adb -e shellto connect to an emulated device.
If you have more than one emulator or usb devices you might want to use:adb -s <DEVICE> shell
Note:Make sure that the path to the android-sdk is properly set-up in your environment. To quickcheck, fire up a shell and type adb version. If that command succeeds, you're set up. If not, add /path/to/android-sdk/tools and /path/to/android/platform-tools to your $PATH env variable. On windows the android sdk is typically located in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk.
