When I run my hello world application, the android emulator fails to launch.Even when i am creating a new emulator it fails to launch giving me the following error.
[2011-08-09 17:03:10 - Emulator] invalid command-line parameter: Files\Android\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe.
[2011-08-09 17:03:10 - Emulator] Hint: use '@foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'.
[2011-08-09 17:03:10 - Emulator] please use -help for more information
The problem is, that you have specified your SDK in a file what has space, in its name For example: Android SDK You need to change it to something what hasn't got space in its name.
Hope it helps.
Or if you specified it in the Program Files use it:
Progra~1 instead of Program Files.
You are not specifying what AVD to launch. Please read the SDK docs in full, they will show you how to do this.
Tip: Launch the "android.exe" (I think, I use Linux where it's simply "android") app instead, create an AVD and launch it, all from the graphical interface.
On windows don't install the Android SDK to a path with spaces in it like C:\Program Files\AndroidSDK. Instead install it to C:\AndroidSDK\ or something like that.
First of you need to check are you in correct folder?
$...local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator -list-avds
If so it will show you list of emulators that you have in your Android studio you are on right track
Last part for launching an emulator
local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator -avd Nexus_5X(name of your emulator you want to open)
