Android SDK and AVD Manager -Cant create AVD in correct file location

Question

When trying to create an AVD with the android SDK AVD manager I get \'Error: null\'. This keeps happening because the SDK manager is looking for \'List of existing Android V

Answer 1

Windows with "folder redirection" have this issue. If you are logged in a domain and the admin has set a redirection for your home folders eclipse/android SDK cannot read correctly some files. You can try the following steps:

1. Close Eclipse

2. Just set a user environmental variable like: Variable Name:ANDROID_SDK_HOME Variable Value:C:\Users\{your login}

3. Copy the .android folder from the "redirection" folder to C:\Users\{your login}

4. Start Eclipse.

Now the AVDs should work fine.
