Installing Android emulator on Debian 10
If installing on Proxmox LXC container, the container needs to be a privileged one
Make a backup of unprivileged and restore it as privileged if you first installed everything in unprivileged one.
Enable “Nesting” in Options>Features.
Add this to /etc/pve/lxc/container.conf
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 10:232 rwm lxc.hook.autodev = sh -c "mknod -m 0666 ${LXC_ROOTFS_MOUNT}/dev/kvm c 10 232"
Install qemu/kvm
apt install --no-install-recommends qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system libpulse0 libgl1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 bridge-utils
Check if you can connect
virsh --connect qemu:///system list
Install system images
Find necessary images with
sdkmanager --list
Install them
sdkmanager 'system-images;android-19;google_apis;x86' 'system-images;android-23;google_apis;x86_64' 'system-images;android-29;google_apis;x86_64'
NOTE: *apis_playstore will NOT work for emulation!!!
Create new emulated device with system image
avdmanager create avd --name android29_x86_64 --package 'system-images;android-29;google_apis;x86_64'
Run Android virtual device (AVD)
emulator -avd android19_x86 -port 5556 -noskin -noaudio -no-window -qemu -m 512 -enable-kvm
Output should be similar to:
root@host:/opt/android-sdk/tools/bin# /opt/android-sdk/tools/emulator -avd android29_x86_64 -port 5556 -noskin -noaudio -no-window -qemu -m 1024 -enable-kvm emulator: WARNING: the -no-skin flag is obsolete. to have a non-skinned virtual device, create one through the AVD manager statvfs('/root/.android/avd/android29_x86_64.avd/snapshots/default_boot/ram.img') failed: No such file or directory emulator: Requested console port 5556: Inferring adb port 5557
adb devices should report:
root@host:/opt/android-sdk/platform-tools# ./adb devices List of devices attached emulator-5556 device
If “adb devices” shows a device as unathorized, check the ~/.android directory if the adbkey and adbkey.pub exist and also try removing/renaming the folder and restarting the server with:
adb kill-server adb start-server
This should regenerate the keys.
Tested on
- Debian 10
