Here it is! Bottom of your Android Studio, select Terminal. enter image description here

You can also go to: Tools -> Open Terminal

Hint for Android Studio: Menu Help -> Find Action -> type what are you looking for. Android Studio will give you couple matches accordingly to your search criteria. Most of the times you can find what you are looking for with this "Find Action" option.


The Android Studio Terminal Pane is the command prompt for Android devices and can be accessed through the following steps:

  • Navigate to the top toolbar and click View
  • Cick on Tools Window and select Terminal

Access Terminal

Alternativiely you can just press ALT + F12

This is the shortcut for the Terminal.

The function of the Terminal is to help you run commands on you Virtual device directly from the Terminal.

Hope this helps :)
