description	Control an Android emulator / device from inside Orca using the `orca` CLI. Use for listing/booting AVDs, taps, swipes, typing, hardware buttons (incl. Back and Recents), rotation, app install/launch, runtime permissions, the accessibility tree, and logcat — driving a real adb-connected device or emulator. Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS). Complements the orca-emulator (iOS) and orca-cli skills.

Orca Emulator (Android)

This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. The full, version-matched Orca Android emulator reference is served by the orca binary itself — kept out of this file on purpose so it can never drift from the binary that will actually run your commands.

Engage Orca whenever you drive an adb-connected Android emulator or device from inside the Orca app: listing/booting AVDs, taps, swipes, typing, hardware buttons (including Back and Recents), rotation, app install/launch, runtime permissions, the accessibility tree, and logcat. It is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) and complements the orca-emulator (iOS) and orca-cli skills.

Resolve the CLI for this session

Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:

• If the ORCA_CLI_COMMAND environment variable is set, use its value. Orca exports this for managed WSL sessions.
• Otherwise, in a dev checkout whose session exposes ORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT, use orca-dev.
• Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use orca-ide. Never run bare orca there — outside Orca's terminals it normally resolves to the GNOME Orca screen reader (/usr/bin/orca) and starts speech on the user's machine.
