Android/Eclipse PANIC: Could not open

Question

I'm brand new to Android development and Eclipse so I have just set it all up and I am attempting the Hello World tutorial. Sadly when I try and run the program I get the following error:

PANIC: Could not open: C:\Users\Nathan Smith.android/avd/Droid_4.0.3.ini

I have heard that you should avoid spaces in these paths. Is the space in the name where the problem is? If so how do I go about changing it?

If anyone could help me out with this that would be grand.

By the way I also noticed that my SDK path is C:\Users\Asus Laptop\android-sdks\ should I change this to the same user? This was not intentional, is there an easy way of me changing this to the right user?

Answer 1

This has been asked a few times already, try this:

1. Create a environment variable called: ANDROID_SDK_HOME and set it to C:\Users\Administrator
2. Open Eclipse > Window > Preferences and click in Run/Debug and String Substitution
3. Add a new variable called: user.home and set it to C:\Users\Administrator
4. Create an AVD and run it.
