The avdmanager is a command line tool that allows you to create and manageAndroid Virtual Devices (AVDs) from the command line. An AVD lets you define thecharacteristics of an Android handset, Wear OS watch, or Android TV devicethat you want to simulate in the Android Emulator.

If you're using Android Studio, then you do not need to use this tool and youcan insteadcreate and manage AVDs from the IDE.

The avdmanager tool is provided in the Android SDK Tools package (25.3.0 andhigher) and is located in android_sdk/tools/bin/.

The following describes the usages for the other options:
  • -c {path|size}: The path to the SD card image for this AVD or the size of a new SD card image to create for this AVD, in KB or MB, denoted with K or M. For example, -c path/to/sdcard/ or -c 1000M.
  • -f: Force creation of the AVD. Use this option if you need to overwrite an existing AVD with a new AVD using the same name.
  • -p path: Path to the location where the directory for this AVD's files will be created. If you do not specify a path, the AVD will be created in ~/.android/avd/.

  • -p path: The absolute path to the location at which to create the directory where this AVD's files will be moved. If you do not include this argument, the AVD will not be moved. You might choose not to include this argument if you want to rename the AVD in place.

list [target|device|avd] [-c] List all available targets, device definitions, or AVDs. If you do not specify target, device, or avd, avdmanager lists all three.
