I’ve some troubles trying to run my android emulator and SDK,

First, it seems that the SDK is deprecated when I try to run:

brew install --cask android-sdk

I got this error:

android-sdk has been officially discontinued upstream.

Checking here I get this post

So I tried installing the command line tools:

brew install --cask android-commandlinetools

The output for this command is this:

I exported the variables in my zshrc file:

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/usr/local/share/android-commandlinetools
export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/latest/bin:$PATH

I also installed the emulator:

sdkmanager "emulator"

After this I tried getting an android image:

sdkmanager "system-images;android-34;google_apis;x86_64"

This worked ok…

And create the avd:

avdmanager create avd -n myavd -k "system-images;android-34;google_apis;x86_64" --device "pixel_3"

So far so good, now I entered to my emulator path:

cd $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
ls //=> output cmdline-tools    emulator    licenses    platform-tools  system-images
cd emulator
ls //=> LICENSE         android-info.txt    emulator        lib64            
package.xml     resources
NOTICE.csv      bin64           emulator-check      mksdcard        qemu             
source.properties
NOTICE.txt      crashpad_handler    include         netsimd         qemu-img
_CodeSignature      crashreport     lib         nimble_bridge       qsn

Now I try to run my emulator:

./emulator -avd myavd

The error that I get is this:

Do I need to install something else?… Not sure why this tries to access to SDK folder when using android-commandlinetools I don’t have a SDK folder

Hope you can help me guys, I’m a newbie with android development. Thank you!
