Ubuntu

My .android/avd was in root folder, but setting ANDROID_AVD_HOME to it made no good. So I just copied files from /root/.android/avd to /home/username/.android/avd Not best solution, but working

just set ANDROID_SDK_HOME system variable to point the home directory of android avd, just like you did with JAVA_HOME :)

  • but is ANDROID_AVD_HOME what is looking for – AFS Dec 15 '14 at 22:29
  • yes, so you need to add it in system variables, if you do that then the path to the avd will be available anywhere. – aurelius Dec 15 '14 at 22:31
  • I've set ANDROID SDK_HOME like home/user/Android because inside this folder its located the SDK folder but it doesn't work also the message said that it's not in $HOME/.android/avd but the file it's located there. – AFS Dec 15 '14 at 22:42
  • inside Android directory there is and SDK directory, include it also in the string path – aurelius Dec 15 '14 at 22:44
  • well, someone else has had this problem, maybe you'll find something useful here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=78577 Cheers! – aurelius Dec 15 '14 at 22:52
  • Didn't work either on Windows 8.1. I have set `ANDROID_SDK_HOME`, `$ANDROID_SDK_HOME`, `$ANDROID_AVD_HOME`, `ANDROID_AVD_HOME`. Android Studio 1.1.0. How did Google let such a serious bug slip away? – Shailen Mar 01 '15 at 21:37

    You will need to restart Android Studio (and AVD manager) before it can see the new environment variable(s) – James Jun 27 '15 at 12:32

  1. in the environment variables add a new "system variables"
    ANDROID_SDK_HOME=D:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows (select your home directory of android sdk )
  2. modify system variables Path, add "%Android_SDK_HOME%/tools;"

it works!

I was experiencing the same issue, and just resolved it by changing the environment variables from ANDROID_AVD_HOME to $ANDROID_AVD_HOME.

This must have been a change between versions. I had removed all android/appinventor/eclipse programs, SDKs and so on - some manually - in order to get a fresh install and wound up with this error.

    Actually, that's just a bug in your code: ANDROID_AVD_HOME is the name of the environment variable; when you want to reference the value of that variable, then you type $ANDROID_ADV_HOIME. Basic BASH scripting. – JESii Feb 23 '16 at 00:21

  1. Delete /home/username/.android： $ sudo rm -r .android
  2. Make a link $ sudo ln -s /root/.android ./.android
