# Orca Emulator — Android (adb / emulator powered)

Drive an Android emulator or adb-connected device **from within Orca** using
`ORCA emulator ...` commands. The Android backend shells out to the Android SDK
(`adb`, `emulator`, `avdmanager`) that Android Studio installs, so it works on
Windows, Linux, and macOS — unlike the iOS backend (`orca-emulator`), which is
macOS-only. Device control uses `adb shell input`, so it works without any extra
streaming server.

> **Status:** device discovery + lifecycle + full input/capability control are
> live. The embedded 60fps **visual pane** (scrcpy/H.264) is in development — for
> now, watch the device in Android Studio's emulator window while you drive it
> from the CLI.

## CLI executable

Choose the Orca executable once: use the `ORCA_CLI_COMMAND` environment value when set;
otherwise use `orca-dev` in a dev session exposing `ORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT`, `orca-ide` on
Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, and `orca` everywhere else. Never try bare
`orca` first on unmanaged Linux because it normally resolves to the GNOME screen reader.

In every command example — fenced blocks, tables, and prose — `ORCA` is a documentation
placeholder. Replace it with the chosen executable before running the command; do not
create a shell variable or run `ORCA` literally. The command examples are intentionally
shell-neutral for POSIX shells, PowerShell, and
