To install Android-SDK

pacaur -S android-sdk

Dependencies

pretty much all the dependencies will be installed by pacaur. But it installs jdk-10 which still has some errors with sdkmanager.

So to use jdk-8

# To install java-8
sudo pacman -Syu jdk8-openjdk
# To set java-8 as default
sudo ln -sfT /usr/lib64/jvm/java-8-openjdk /usr/lib64/jvm/default-runtime
sudo ln -sfT /usr/lib64/jvm/java-8-openjdk /usr/lib64/jvm/default

To start AVD

You need more three packages: The platform, the system-image and the build-tools. You can download these packages for any Android version you prefer.

Use the sdkmanager --list command to find these packages and download them using the command sdkmanager <package name>.

• To download platform (demo)
  sdkmanager 'platforms;android-28'
• To download system-image (demo)
  sdkmanager 'system-images;android-28;default;x86'
• To download build-tools (demo)
  sdkmanager 'build-tools;28.0.3'

Emulator is also installed while installing android-sdk

• To create AVD (demo)
  avdmanager create avd --name android29 --package 'system-images;android-28;default;x86'
• To list all available AVDs
  emulator -list-avds
• To start ‘android29’ (demo) Android Virtual Device
  emulator -avd 'android29'

To install adb

pacman -S android-tools

adb commands

adb push myapp.apk /sdcard/Download/myapp.apk # to copy apk to anbox or AndroidStudio
adb pull /sdcard/Download/file.ext file.ext   # to copy file from anbox or AndroidStudio
adb install path/to/app.apk                   # to install app in anbox or AndroidStudio
adb install -k --user 0 path/to/app.apk       # to install app in phone

adb shell pm list packages -f                 # to list
adb shell pm list packages -s                 # to list only system apps
adb shell pm list packages -3                 # to list only 3rd party apps
adb shell pm uninstall com.my.demo.app             # to uninstall app in anbox or AndroidStudio
