AVD Manager path problem

This is the Basic4PPC forum; better to ask Android questions in the separate Android forum.

(Though of course some experts monitor both fora.)

AVD Manager

Hallo malcolmfowler,

you have two options. first reinstall the Android sdk and check that it is installed in a folder without spaces, the second is to make a link from one to the other. (it worked for me)
as i remember : the command is mklink -J like

MKLINK /J C:\users\Username\.android "C:\users\username\application data\.android"

do not forget the Quotation marks.
it works for me on Windows 7

best regards

Basic4android finds the AVD manager based on the android.jar location (set in Tools - Configure Paths).

Erel,

The path I have set for the android.jar is "C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platforms\android-19\android.jar" - and Basic4android is not finding the AVD Manager. It instead brings up the SDK Manager, and from its Tools menu I can select "Manage AVDs..." to bring up the AVD Manager.

Recently had to reinstall my Android SDK, and the new installation actually installs the AVD Manger in "...\sdk\tools\lib," while the SDK Manager is installed in "C:\Program Files\Android" and also in "...\sdk\tools\lib."

Any advice?

My general advice is to avoid using the emulator. Use B4A-Bridge to connect to a real device or use one of the Android virtual machines instead.
