Android: How to launch android emulator from command line or batch script?


Many Windows based Android developers are facing difficulties in running Android Studio on Windows machines due to lack of performance issues. But if you are developing mobile application using language like React Native you don’t actually need to work on Android Studio. But most of the time you have to use Android Emulators to test your application. If your windows machine does not have at least 16 GB of RAM you always face severe performance issue while running Android Emulators.

 

One solution to this issue is you can use your mobile phone to test react native application without running on Android Emulators. For that you only need to run Metro server on your PC and test application run on your mobile phone. But this method has drawbacks you have only one platform to test your application. If you want to test your application on multiple platforms you have to use several Emulators with different Android versions and architectures.

 

Another solution is without load your Android Studio if you can use Android Emulators alone that will give better performance. For that you can use command line to load Android Emulators.

Open command prompt anywhere and use the following command

 

To get the list of available emulators

 

emulator -list-avds

 

To open a emulator

 

emulator -avd Nexus_5X_API_23

 

If you have multiple emulators this method is also cumbersome process to type different command and load emulators. For that I wrote simple batch script for each emulator needs to run and simply double click on the batch script to run emulator as standalone application.

Here is the batch script file code:

 

C:/

cd C:\Users\<Your User>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator

emulator -avd <Your Emulator Name>

 

Save this code with file name <Your File Name>.bat. Then double click on the file to run the emulator.

 

Example:

 

C:/

cd C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator

emulator -avd Pixel_2_API_30

 

Above script run Pixel_2_API_30 emulator in “C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator” path.

 

Happy coding….😀

The Power of ChatGPT and Whisper Models

A Deep Dive into Natural Language Processing Natural Language Processing (NLP) has seen a significant boost in recent years due to advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Two models that have shown remarkable success in NLP are ChatGPT and Whisper. In this article, we will delve into the power of these models and their applications in the field of NLP. ChatGPT is a transformer-based language model developed by OpenAI that uses unsupervised learning to predict the next word in a sentence based on the context of previous words. ChatGPT is a generative model that is trained on large datasets of text, such as books and articles, and can be fine-tuned for specific tasks, such as question-answering or dialogue generation. ChatGPT is known for its ability to produce human-like text, making it an ideal tool for applications such as chatbots, content creation, and language translation. Whisper, on the other hand, is a paraphrasing model developed by Google that is based on

Building robust APIs with Node.js

Node.js is a popular open-source JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to build scalable and high-performance web applications. One of the key strengths of Node.js is its ability to build APIs quickly and efficiently. APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, allow different systems to communicate with each other, enabling data exchange and other operations. Building robust APIs with Node.js requires an understanding of RESTful architecture, which is a widely adopted standard for creating APIs. RESTful APIs provide a standardized way to expose data and functionality over the web using a set of HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. To build a robust Node.js API, developers must choose an appropriate framework and set up a development environment. They should also handle errors and exceptions, implement authentication and authorization, and use middleware to enhance the functionality of the API. Writing test cases, documenting the API using tools such as Swa
