Android Emulator

Control a headless Android emulator from Hermes — live sidebar, app management, GPS/battery/network simulation, and ADB tools. Emulator host is Linux.

Good to know before installing

Requires a pre-installed Android SDK under ~/Android/Sdk; runs adb, emulator, avdmanager and sdkmanager on the host, and the dashboard's Create AVD action downloads Android system images from Google via sdkmanager. emu_shell runs arbitrary commands inside the emulator; emu_install/emu_push copy host files into it.

How to install

Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install android-emulator
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable android-emulator
Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
