Running Android Emulator on MacOS

[ghost]

Hi,

Based on the docs here: https://androidstudio.googleblog.com/2019/05/emulator-2906-stable.html

After setting ANDROID_EMU_VK_ICD=moltenvk

Is there any additional settings I need to change when starting the emulator?

Do I need to set -gpu "host" for instance or some other value (do i remove the -gpu flag completely?)

Additionally the docs for Windows & Linux it mentions editiing advancedFeatures.ini

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/emulator#29.0.6-vulkan

But it is not clear if those are also required on MacOS or Windows and Linux Specific

When I run

/usr/local/share/android-sdk/emulator/emulator @emulator -accel-check

I get

Does this mean the emulator has access to the GPU?

Here is how I am currently starting the Emulator using -gpu "auto" which starts but no way to tell if it is using the host GPU

sdkmanager "--verbose" "system-images;android-29;google_apis;x86"

avdmanager "--verbose" "create" "avd" "--force" "--name" "emulator" "--device" "pixel" "--package" "system-images;android-29;google_apis;x86" "--tag" "google_apis" "--abi" "x86" "--sdcard" "512M"

emulator "@emulator" "-verbose" "-show-kernel" "-no-audio" "-no-boot-anim" "-netdelay" "none" "-no-snapshot" "-wipe-data" "-camera-back" "none" "-camera-front" "none" "-gpu" "auto"

emulator @emulator -accel-check
