I am currently developing a mobile web application and I don't have a test device yet so I'm using the android-emulator to check the site. On my mac, I have installed the stand-alone Android SDK. Every time I want to use the AVD Manager, I have to execute the following on my terminal:

  1. Avid Mac Mini
  2. Avd Manager Mac M1

If you've been thinking about picking up Apple's M1-powered Mac mini but don't want to pay full price, now is your chance. $ brew install git. We recently posted about how Visual Studio for Mac is supporting Apple Silicon / M1 architecture through the Rosetta translation layer starting in version 8.9, and we’re working towards native support. We’ve been using and testing with M1 Macs, but it’s always great to hear how.NET and Visual Studio for Mac are working for our customers in the real world.

Avid Mac Mini

This command (being executed on the installed android sdk path) will open the Android Device Monitor and from here, I go to its menu bar and select Window Virtual Device Manager just to open the AVD Manager. So, is there a shortcut for that? I mean, i want to directly open the AVD manager via cli.

    I was able to open it from terminal with:

    You may need to navigate to your SDK tools/ first. Here is reference I used:AVD Manager

    this is just a small addon to previous solutions presented. What is probably handy to do is to just jam this as a alias into your bash_profile like so:

    Open your bash_profile:

    nano ~/.bash_profile

    Add this:

    alias avd='cd /path-to-sdk/tools; ./android avd'

    Source it again:

    source ~/.bash_profile

    In the CLI type:

    avd

    Now you can open up the AVD by just using avd in the command line. The only thing i haven't figured out how to make it stay alive after closing the terminal. Maybe somebody has tips on that.

    Unfortunately, I'm also looking to add in the audio from those 16 clips as well as overlay them. With the code as it is, it takes the audio from the first clip declared in the call.

  • console ui frameworks for python

    I am wondering if there is a frame work for developing GUIs for python applications that work without the overhead of an xserver desktop environment. As I am developing a system that I would like to have a graphical front end but I don't want the overhead of say gnome or KDE having to load prior to my application exectuting which is intended to take up the entirety of the screen and only be exitable through a menu item.

    It is unclear to me if it is possible to use either Pygame or kivy for this purpose.

  • Creating faux 'command line' embedded in PyQT5 GUI

    I am creating a GUI in Python/PyQt5 and would like the user to have the option of interacting with the program either through GUI widgets/elements or by typing in commands into a 'faux' command line embedded in the GUI as a widget.

    All I think I want is:

    • Something that looks like a DOS/bash/etc. command prompt, that accepts input
    • Space above that command prompt, where program output can go.
    • The ability to use the up and down arrows on the keyboard to scroll through past commands that have been executed.
    • When the user hits enter, then the command string is sent (via a signal/socket, I imagine) to an object that parses it and executes the requested command.

    I am not an experienced Python user. I see some existing packages to embed terminal windows in a GUI... I can see that I may get to where I want to go by just using QLineEdit's keyPressEvent to act on the up and down arrows, but that's just a single line input and that would mean the output window would be a separate widget?... Perhaps I could base this on a QPlainTextEdit widget, but I have no experience with that. Anyway: Are already packages that do exactly (or, more or less) what I want to do here? THANK YOU!

  • is there a state manager for CLI app in python

    hello all.

    im building a CLI manage tool with python 3.X that his main purpes is to call api in different servers and in different domains with different user.

    so i want to manage some state for the CLI for saving the domain and user credentials.

    e.gthe user can call domainA.com/api/path/A and after that the user can call domainB.com/api/path/B.

    so while the CLI is still running i want the user to be able to switch the domain or user credential and to save it in some kind of state manager (like redux in react).

    i did not manage to find any librery for managing state in a CLI app for python, so before i go and implamenting one myself i would like to know if there is anything like that.

Using Android Studio Emulators in M1 Mac:

Previously, when M1 Macbooks were released, Android studio didn’t have any support for emulators. Google has released a different preview build for emulators. You can check this build here.

The problem with this preview build is that you can’t change the emulator device type. It works, but if you want to test your application on different device or different screen sizes, there was no other option available.

Avd Manager Mac M1

Avid

Recently, they released one change to the Android Studio SDK manager and downloading an extra emulator is no loger needed now.

In this post, I will quickly show you how to create Android Emulators on M1 chipset mac in Android Studio.

How to do that:

First, make sure that you have the latest Android Studio installed. If you have 4.1.2 or later Android studio version, this will work.

  1. First, start AVD manager. If you haven’t created any AVD or android virtual device before, you will find it in Tools->AVD Manager.

  2. Click on Create new virtual device button. It will show you a list of different devices. You can select any of these phones.

  1. Click on next. It will show you a list of system images. Basically, it shows different images for different Android Versions that can be used with the current AVD. Make sure to select the ‘Other image’ tab. Images listed under this tab are designed for Macbook M1.

That’s all. It will create one emulator using that selected image. You can also create different virtual devices using the same image.
