I'm new to programming and I've been having a lot of trouble with my Windows 8 computer downloading and running the android sdk. I finally got the android software to work. However, once I began to code my project and tried to test it, the emulator didn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could solve this problem? Thank you for your advice in advance!

Starting emulator for AVD 'AVD_for_Nexus_S_by_Google' emulator: ERROR: no search paths found in this AVD's configuration. Weird, the AVD's config.ini file is malformed. Try re-creating it

check your ANDROID_SDK_HOME, it should point to your android sdk.

  1. Start -> All Apps -> Control panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Environment variables.
  2. Set ANDROID_SDK_HOME to your android-sdk path and restart your eclipse

Also check that the path does not have special characters.

  • Thank you for the help. I tried this and it still isn't working. Could there be another problem that I'm just not aware of? – user3389707 May 12 '14 at 16:49

See this question, possible duplicate.

It might have something to do with your SDK HOME PATH environment variable.

You could also try using a third party emulator such as Blue Stacks.
