Menu
I have android sdk installed, I've looked up directions which say to run ~/android-sdk-linux/tools/android and then click on a tools menu, but there is no tools menu.
I've also tried downloading virtual machine manager, but when I started that emulator it said I needed to insert an sd card.
How do I start an android emulator on ubuntu 16.04?

Installing an app Build and package your app into an APK as described in Build and Run Your App. Start the emulator from the command line as described in the previous section, using any startup options necessary. Install your app using adb. Run and test your app on the emulator.
For Ubuntu 16.04 you need to download few things first.
After installing Android Studio.
Goto Tools > Android > AVD Manager > Create new virtual device
follow standard installation for new virtual device.
After Creating virtual device
Goto Tools > Android > SDK Manager > SDK Tools and check Android emulator 
Give it a try,if it still doesn't work you need add few libraries.
Goto terminal and execute below commands
sudo apt-get install lib64stdc++6:i386
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
cd YOURPATH/Android/Sdk/emulator/lib64
mv libstdc++/ libstdc++.bak
ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++
This should start your emulator.
