Cannot find "emulator.exe" while trying to test applications

Question

I work with KonyOne Studio to create and test applications. The Android SDK is located in C:\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk , and the emulator is in C:\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\tools\emulator.exe . When I try to start the application, I get an error message:

Windows cannot find "emulator.exe". Make sure you type the name correctly, then try again.

When I just run the emulator.exe executable, I get a quick cmd screen and it disappears as quickly as it appeared. Nothing is displayed in my task manager.

I set the following environment variables:

 JAVA_HOME: C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_32 PATH: C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_32;D:\Users\SIMONSJP.GROUPINFRA\AppData\Roaming\npm; C:\KonyOne\ImageMagick;C:\apache-ant-1.9.2\bin;C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_32\bin; C:\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\platform-tools; 

Of course, the above has no gaps. I do not understand why the emulator is not working. Can anyone understand why it is not working?

Answer 1

Your path variable includes only platform tools. It should also include the path to the emulator. Two ways:

• Copy emulator.exe to platform tools
• Add a tool folder to a path variable.

Answer 2

Extract zdk zip to another location, copy the tool directory, replace it with your sdk tool folder contents.

Restart eclipse if necessary ...

It worked for me. I hope that with you too ...
