When working with Android Emulator snapshots, it can be challenging to locate where these snapshots are stored on your disk. This guide will walk you through the steps to find and manage these files effectively, allowing you to share them with your team or use them for development purposes.
Understanding Snapshot Storage Locations
Snapshots in the Android Emulator are stored in specific directories based on your operating system. Here’s how you can locate them:
Windows Users
- Navigate to the directory:
%USERPROFILE%\.android\avd\\snapshots\
%USERPROFILE%
represents your current active user profile.- Replace
<AVD_NAME>
with the name of your Android Virtual Device (AVD).
Linux/macOS Users
- Navigate to the directory:
~/.android/avd//snapshots/
- Replace
<AVD_NAME>
with the name of your Android Virtual Device (AVD).
Setting Snapshot Save Location
To find or change the snapshot save location directly through the Android Emulator interface, follow these steps:
- Open the Android Emulator.
- Click on the “Three Dots” button to access Extended Controls.
- Select the “Settings” option from the left-hand menu.
- Locate the “Screenshot save location” field, which you can edit as needed.
Sharing Snapshots with Your Team
Once you have located the snapshots, you can easily share them with your team by copying the snapshot files from the directories mentioned above. This enables collaborative testing and development.
