TO Launch Emulator in Command prompt in MAC:

${ANDROID_HOME}/emulator/emulator -avd Android



How to start appium server using Program:

Install Node Js:
https://nodejs.org/en/

Install appium:
npm install -g appium


Once the appium is installed use this method in your program to launch appium server:

private static AppiumDriverLocalService service=null;

public void startServer() {

    service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService();   

    service.start();

}

To Stop Appium Server Use this method in your program:

public static void stopAppiumServer() throws Exception{
    service.stop();}

To Launch Android Emulator use this method in your program :

public static void startAndroidEmulator() throws Exception{
    Process p;    if(System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")==null)
        p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/Users/premkumar/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/"

+"emulator -avd "+lib.getProperty("ANDROID_DEVICE_NAME"));     

else     

   p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")+"/emulator/"

+"emulator -avd "+lib.getProperty("ANDROID_DEVICE_NAME"));
    Thread.sleep(10000);
}

To Close Android Emulator use this method in your program:

public static void stopAndroidEmulator() throws Exception{
    Process p;  

  if(System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")==null)
        p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/Users/premkumar/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/

adb -e emu kill");  

  else 

       p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")+"/platform-tools/

adb -e emu kill");  

  Thread.sleep(10000);}

To launch App use this method:
(Please make sure, I used lib.getProperty method to get value from the file , in that place use the value instead of method)

public static void AndroidappLauch() throws Exception {
    DesiredCapabilities capabilities=new DesiredCapabilities();   

 capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME,

lib.getProperty("ANDROID_DEVICE_NAME"));   

 capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP,

System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/MobileApps/"+ 

lib.getProperty("ANDROID_APP"));   

 capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME,"Android");   

 AndroidDriver driver=new AndroidDriver(new 

URL(lib.getProperty("APPIUM_SERVER_URL")), capabilities);

    framework.setAndroidDriver(driver);}
