Android Emulator Snapshot file location

Question

I'd like to know where Android Emulator Snapshots are stored on disc. I know how to take them via Extended Control but I can't find them on disc. I did a filesystem search but no hits. The idea is to share them with my team.

Press for 3 dots. Then Press the Settings and in top right corner you will see the screenshot folder location.

To retrieve the saved snapshot on disc, you have to go to the AVD location. In Android Virtual Device Manager, right click on your AVD, then show on disc. You will find a directory call snapshots

Really ? On my side, when I click on the camera button, a screenshot is stored at the specified location. How do you take screenshot ? – Bruno Sep 10 '18 at 09:15

There's now a setting for this in the Emulator itself. In the options menu, tap on the Three Dots button to open Extended Controls. Tap the 'Settings' item in the left-hand list and you'll see 'Screenshot save location', which is an editable field.
