is there a way to run the emulator without starting the Android Studio first. Perhaps from the command line. I know that this feature was available in older versions and has
cd C:\Users\{computer_user_name}\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator
then run:
./emulator -list-avds or emulator -list-avds
output:
PIXEL_2_API_29 PIXEL_2_XL_API_29
./emulator -avd PIXEL_2_XL_API_29 or emulator -avd PIXEL_2_XL_API_29
That's it
