Creating an AVD and linking it to the AOSP

Issue

I am trying to use this tool GemDroid https://github.com/huz123/GemDroid_QEMU. I have downloaded the AOSP android-4.4.4_r2 and built it as well. According to the link above, an AVD has to be created using Android Studio, which I did but it give selective options to download a system image, say an Android 4.4.

1. My first question is how can I link the AVD to the AOSP I have downloaded? I tried pointing the location of the SDK to the AOSP location from Files>ProjectStructure in Android Studio but it says "SDK does not contain any platforms".
2. Is there a different way whereI can create an AVD directly from the directory of AOSP?
3. Or according to the step "start the emulator with your android virtual device as usual" in the link above, how can I start the emulator from AOSP with an AVD created using Android Studio?

I am using Ubuntu 14.04. Please help, thanks!

Solution

You don't need the Android Studio for that - just go to your root directory and type in the command line:

emulator

If this doesn't work you probably had a problem in your build.(Build the AOSP)
