Run AVD Emulator detached from terminal

Here is how we can run AVD directly from terminal

emulator -list-avds
emulator @Pixel_3a_API_30_x86

But I want it to be detached so that I can close my terminal and have the emulator still running. I tried to run something like this:

emulator -d @Pixel_3a_API_30_x86

But I got an error. Can someone tell how can we do that?

Solution

  • Try the nohup command:

    Nohup, short for no hang up is a command in Linux systems that keep processes running even after exiting the shell or terminal.

    nohup `emulator @Pixel_3a_API_30_x86 &`

    here & puts the application into the background.
