-sysdir cannot be used with AVDs. you can overide the location of the .android folder by setting an env var call ANDROID_SDK_HOME.
In your case, you should try: $ ANDROID_SDK_HOME=/opt/development emulator -avd AVD1.6_HTC_SD Xav On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 1:55 AM, Patrick <[email protected]> wrote: > Hallo! > > I want the android emulator to start a AVD from a non default location > using the following command: > ./android-sdk-linux_86/tools/emulator -sysdir /opt/ > development/.android/avd/ -avd AVD1.6_HTC_SD > > The .android directory is a copy from the default .android directory > from my homefolder... > > The emulator states the following: > emulator: ERROR: unknown virtual device name: 'AVD1.6_HTC_SD' > emulator: could not find virtual device named 'AVD1.6_HTC_SD' > > Any ideas? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en > -- Xavier Ducrohet Android SDK Tech Lead Google Inc.
