After saving an emulator snapshot I would like to reuse the snapshot across multiple AVD's.

According to the documentation when saving a snapshot it is stored in the directory ~/.android/avd/<avd_name>.avd/snapshots and the default snapstorage is snapshots.img.

My plan was to copy both the snapshots.img file and the snapshot directory into a different AVD folder but while I do see the snapshot files being created, for the life of me, I can't find the location of the snapshots.img file.

Does anyone know where this file is located? Or, if I'm going around this the wrong way, can someone shed some light on the right way?

  • @user3875913 The answer there isn't detailed enough. Ideally, I would like to be able to run multiple emulators with the same snapshot and different skins. – zwebie Aug 16 '20 at 13:03

I am using Mac OS.

I just saved a snapshot. My snapshot was saved to:

/Users/<myusername>/.android/avd/<mydevicename>.avd/snapshots

There were two sub folders:

default_boot : this folder contained a ram.img file

snap_2020-08-22_09-59-33 : this folder did not contain any img files.
