Possible to open the newer, slicker AVD Manager window from the command line?

I know of two ways to open the Android Virtual Device (AVD) Manager window: to open it via Android Studio or by running the android avd command in Terminal.

I'm seeing however that the AVD Manager window which opens via Android Studio is considerably slicker and better than the window that opens with the android avd command.

Is there any way to open the slicker and better AVD Manager window by means of the command line... or outside of Android Studio? (I notice also in Android Studio that I have to open a project to be able to open the AVD Manager window which is a tad bit annoying.)

  1. Configure you device in Android Studio via AVD Manager.
  2. Get a list of working devices with emulator -list-avds
  3. Start the desired device with emulator -avd Nexus_5X_API_23

Recently there is an bug in Android SDK which let you result in a QT-Lib-Missing-Bug. See Cannot launch AVD in emulator:QT library not found

Just use the emulator out of his directory (~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/) solves the problem for me.

I don't believe that it's possible because the new AVD manager built with Swing framework and depends on Intellij IDEA platform.

Android Studio sources.
