Javah should be in the bin folder of your JDK

Something like this:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_19\bin

For simplicities sake take the path name folder from the bin directory in your Android project and place it in the above directory.

Then use the command prompt

javah -jni com.pathname.ClassName

And the header file will be created in the JDK bin folder
