Trouble getting Android emulator to run in eclipse
android, eclipse, emulation
Solution
You can set the environment variable `ANDROID_SDK_HOME`. For example:
ANDROID_SDK_HOME=D:\Development\android-sdk\
It helped me. Add this variable to `<eclipseFolder>\configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs`:
ANDROID_SDK_HOME=D\:\\Development\\android-sdk\\
Stop the process `adb.exe` and (re)start Eclipse.
Problem
I'm trying to run the SDK Samples on the Emulator in Eclipse 3.5. Most of the time the AVD Manager hangs when I try to create a new AVD. When I manage to create an AVD and try to start the emulator I get this: emulator: ERROR: no search paths found in this AVD's configuration weird, the AVD's config.ini file is malformed. Try re-creating it. I'm running the latest version of the SDK on Win7 32 bit. Any ideas? Update: I think I found the source of the problem. I'm running a Hebrew version of WIN 7. My user name is in Hebrew. Apparently this causes a problem for Eclipse. Once I started to suspect that was the problem, I created a new user on the system called DEV and tried to run the emulator under that user. Went like butter.
