Hello Community ! i got my phone to run the apps from this machine(XP)! - end to end perfect. Once again, i reloaded all software - yes uninstalled sdk , blew away eclipse, removed workspace. reinstalled everything. same issue - my AVD is not recognized by the emulator . I have once again created avd from both command line (out of tools) as well as within eclipse and AVD is not recognized by using a 'run configuration' , 'run as', or again, command line (tried emulator -avd my_avd, tried emlator @my_avd, tried setting some type of path). I do not have support for symbolic links - as yet another blogger has recommended - I would install it using VC , but am still confused as to where in the world i would link back to C:\Documents and Settings \<username> ( being where eclipse is creating the AVD) as i have copied .android to those locations , tried ANDROID_SDK_HOME , (which by the way gives me null errors in SDK manager when i set it to my location of avd creation - and not (intuitively) to the actual 'home' of the SDK which in my case is 'C:\program Files\android\android- sdk' (and why an '-' vs '_' is beyond me - but who am i to complain?) either way folks - i am up and running on two platforms end-to-end and ready to go but being a completionist i need to absolutely know where that emulator is looking for the created avd! if anyone has suggestions how to set a path (but to where as i have tried every logical path - looked at where the user profile etc... noted in ealier mesage) happy fourth all!
