Running LAMW apk on linux (avdmanager, command line tool)
« on: October 07, 2018, 09:26:00 pm »
About the recent LAMW's linux install instructions:

https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard/blob/master/docs/linux/tutorial_by_waynesherman/howto%20-%20Android%20Development%20Environment%20on%20Linux.txt

Everything is working just fine in my debian 9 based distro, with two exceptions:

1) the installation will not work if you use fpcupdeluxe v1.6.1n (I didn't test other versions).

2) no instructions on how setting up AVDs from command line (no gui). (important for setting up a functional emulator)

Right now I am not sure what image I should use (or more generally, what devices are supported by LAMW). I was considering installing:

./sdkmanager 'system-images;android-23;google_apis;armeabi-v7a'
./sdkmanager 'system-images;android-23;google_apis;x86'
./sdkmanager 'system-images;android-26;google_apis;x86'

Any information about that?

Also, I am trying to find what are the necessary data to -n -d parameters in order to create the AVD:

./avdmanager create avd -c 100M -k 'system-images;android-23;google_apis;x86_64' -n NAME -d 'DEVICE_ID'

Be mindful and excellent with each other.

Hi, I have found the data for the -n -c parameters.

-n
is a custom name, choose wisely


- c
is a device id or name from ./avdmanager  list device

Here are my notes:
Quote
# how to create an android virtual device (AVD) from command line

# navigate to your android sdk path
cd $ANDROID_SDK_HOME/tools/bin/

# update sdk repository
./sdkmanager --update

# list available target android platforms
./avdmanager list target

# install target android platforms
# notice that we already have android-26 - it was installed earlier with the following command:
# ./sdkmanager 'platforms;android-26' 'build-tools;26.0.2' 'tools' 'ndk-bundle' 'extras;android;m2repository'

# here we will install android-23 also, as recommended by castle game engine:
./sdkmanager --install 'platforms;android-23' 'extras;google;google_play_services' 'build-tools;23.0.2' 'extras;android;m2repository'

# find the desired/corresponding image for your target platform
./sdkmanager --list

# install the system image you want, for example:
./sdkmanager 'system-images;android-23;google_apis;armeabi-v7a'
./sdkmanager 'system-images;android-23;google_apis;x86'
./sdkmanager 'system-images;android-26;google_apis;x86'
# ./sdkmanager 'system-images;android-26;google_apis;x86_64'
# ./sdkmanager 'system-images;android-26;google_apis_playstore;x86'

# use one of the available devices as the -d parameter
./avdmanager list device

# here we create our avd using the "Nexus 6P" device
./avdmanager create avd -c 100M -k 'system-images;android-23;google_apis;x86_64' -n Nexus_6P_A23 -d 'Nexus 6P'

LAMW retrieves the AVDs list by the following command (LAMW/ide_tools/uformstartemulator.pas, TfrmStartEmulator.GetAVDList):
<sdk_path>/tools/android list avds
Check what this command returns for you.

The list of connected devices (including AVDs):
<sdk_path>/platform-tools/adb devices
(LAMW/ide_tools/apkbuild.pas, TApkBuilder.CheckAvailableDevices)
