How to get root access on Android emulator?

by

If you have a virtual device with root access, this should do the job:

$ > adb shell
generic_x86:/ $
generic_x86:/ $ exit
$ > adb root
restarting adbd as root
$ > adb shell
generic_x86:/ #

If you don’t, you might be interested in this answer to a different question, which explains how to create an virtual device with root access, with Google APIs (aka Google Play services), but without the Google Play app.

If you really need the Google Play app, you might be interested in other answers which instruct how to root an Android virtual device.
