Android Stop Emulator from Command Line

Solution 1:

May be adb kill-server helps for you?

adb -s emulator-5554 emu kill, where emulator-5544 - emulator name.

For Linux users it will be

adb devices | grep emulator | cut -f1 | while read line; do adb -s $line emu kill; done

Solution 2:

To stop all running emulators we use this command:

adb devices | grep emulator | cut -f1 | while read line; do adb -s $line emu kill; done

Solution 3:

FOR MAC:

Run:

ps -ax | grep emulator

which gives you a wider result something like:

10030 ttys000    0:00.00 grep emulator

The first (left) column is the process ID (PID) that you are looking for.
Find the first PID (in the above example, it's 6617).
Force kill that process:

kill PID

In my case, the command is:

kill 6617

Usually, killing the first process in enough to stop the emulator, but if that doesn't work, try killing other processes as well.

Update: Thanks to @V.S. suggestion: changed kill -9 to kill

Solution 4:

 adb kill-server

doesn't work. Use :

 adb emu kill

this will kill all the emulators

If multiple emulators are present then use:

adb -s * emu kill

Solution 5:

The other answer didn't work for me (on Windows 7). But this worked:

telnet localhost 5554
kill
