Suppose you have download and install Android SDK, and extract it in some drive. There are two methods to set PATH:

Use command prompt :

set path=%path%;D:\android-sdk-windows\tools;

Another is follow these steps :

My Computer->Property->Advanced->Environment Variables->Edit Path Variable and add “D:\ android-sdk-windows\tools” into the Path Variables.
