A GitHub Action that installs, configures, and runs hardware-accelerated Android Emulators on GitHub Actions Linux and macOS virtual machines. It simplifies running Android instrumented and UI tests in CI by handling emulator setup, KVM/Hypervisor acceleration, and script execution.

Use cases

  • run android instrumented tests on github actions
  • set up an android emulator in a ci workflow
  • run espresso ui tests in ci
  • configure a hardware-accelerated emulator on ubuntu runners
  • automate android emulator testing in pull request pipelines
  • run connected android tests without a physical device

When to choose

  • you run Android instrumented or UI tests on GitHub Actions
  • you need hardware-accelerated emulators on hosted Linux or macOS runners
  • you want a maintained, configurable action instead of hand-rolled emulator setup scripts

When to avoid

  • your CI provider does not support nested virtualization or KVM
  • you need emulators on Windows runners or non-GitHub CI systems
  • you only need Robolectric or JVM-based tests that don't require an emulator
