This is a common issue and is annoying.

Go in to Eclipse and change th location of your Android SDK from C:\Program Files\Android to C:\Progra~1\Android if you're on Windows XP / Windows Vista 32 bit / Windows 7 32bit.

If you're on Windows Vista 64 bit or Windows 7 64 bit, this will be installed in the Program Files (x86) directory so change it to C:\Progra~2\Android.

More detailed instructions

  • Open Eclipse and open your workspace
  • With the workspace open go to Window > Preferences
  • Click the Android section
  • If you are on Windows XP / Vista / 7 32 bit, change the SDK Location to C:\Progra~1\Android
  • If you are on Windows Vista / 7 64 bit, change the SDK Location to C:\Progra~2\Android
  • Hit Apply then click OK

Let me know if you still need help.

You got a space in your sdk path. Move it to a different path without one.

Alternatively you can change the path inside the eclipse preferences. Change it to C:\PROGRA~2\Android\android-sdk on a 64 bit system, or to C:\PROGRA~1\Android\android-sdk on a 32 bit one (if you installed the SDK in the default location).

See this question for more information.
