Devices list from avdmanager is different from Android Studio's

Question

I would like to create a Pixel 4 XL avd for example from the avdmanager command line but it is not part of the list of available devices contrary to Android Studio where I can choose more models.

The command to see the available devices for creating avd from avdmanager : avdmanager list devices

Can anyone tell me why there is a difference and how I could create my Pixel 4 XL Avd from command line ?

Answer 1

I found the answer by myself :)

The avdmanager command is present in both

• ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin
• ~/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin.

To create devices with the latest devices configuration including Pixel 4 XL, you have to use the avdmanager tool present in cmdline-tools/bin folder
