I am currently developing a mobile web application and I don't have a test device yet so I'm using the android-emulator to check the site. On my mac, I have installed the stand-alone Android SDK. Every time I want to use the AVD Manager, I have to execute the following on my terminal:
monitor
This command (being executed on the installed android sdk path) will open the Android Device Monitor and from here, I go to its menu bar and select Window Virtual Device Manager just to open the AVD Manager. So, is there a shortcut for that? I mean, i want to directly open the AVD manager via cli.

Using Android Studio After you've your project open, go to Tools => Android => AVD Manager .
Starting the emulatorUse the emulator command to start the emulator, as an alternative to running your project or starting it through the AVD Manager. Here's the basic command-line syntax for starting a virtual device from a terminal prompt: emulator -avd avd_name [ {- option [ value ]} … ]
I was able to open it from terminal with:
android avd
You may need to navigate to your SDK tools/ first. Here is reference I used: AVD Manager

Go to tools directory inside your android sdk like:
cd ~/Android/Sdk/tools
and enter run your avd as
./emulator -avd <your-avd>
You can find your avd name by running:
./emulator -list-avds
