Can having spaces in the sdk android path cause problems in eclipse?

Question

I installed my sdk for Android on the default path on windows 7 pc ie

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Android \ android-sdk

I indicate the location of my sdk in eclipse, but it forgets every time an eclipse is launched using a new sample project.

Change In addition, sometimes the emulator refuses to run using in eclipse.

I was wondering if there are spaces in the file name "Program Files (x86) .." causing problems. and if in this case is there any way to change the directory location (move sdk files) of already installed Android-sdk? (I assume that I am changing some 10-15 entries in the registry), or I must reinstall all of this, which I do not want to do (because I always need to download sdk and all its components in my connection)

thanks for the help

Answer 1

The path to the Android SDK remains for a specific workspace and does not depend on the project being created. If you change the eclipse workspace, you need to set the Android SDK location for that workspace again. Thank.

Answer 2

The presence of spaces in the android path is not the reason that eclipse forgets the android sdk location, if the eclipse workspace directory is changed, the sdk location must be provided again.

As for the emulator, it does not start sometimes when your sdk installation path has spaces like this

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Android \ android-sdk

the solution to this problem is to change the android sdk location in eclipse (Window> Prefrences> Android) to

C: \ PROGRA ~ 2 \ Android \ Android-SDK

then the problem is resolved

Answer 3

This is the same path on my Windows 7, including spaces. No problem with that.
