== Virtual Devices ==

'''Android Virtual Devices''' ('''AVDs''') are hardware and software configurations to be emulated. Multiple can be installed side-by-side, then selected at launch time.

If you have only one AVD installed, this shortcut will work. (And if you have more than one installed, some clever variation will also work.)

{{{
emulator ... -avd $(emulator -list-avds)
}}}

----



== Networking ==

The emulator tries to use the local system's DNS configuration (i.e. `/etc/resolv.conf`). However, Android only behaves with Google's servers. Call the emulator with:

{{{
emulator ... -dns-server 8.8.8.8
}}}
