“PANIC: Could not open” while trying to run Androi

I installed Eclipse Kepler and the Android development tools. Everything is working fine, except for when I try to run my Android code in an emulator I get the following error:

Emulator] PANIC: Could not open: [name of Android virtual device]

I Googled the problem but I have not found a solution. It might have to do with the Android path or perhaps authorizations, but I do not know where I have to change them to.

I hope someone can help me out.

This has been asked a few times already, try this:

Create a environment variable called: ANDROID_SDK_HOME and set it to C:\Users\Administrator
Open Eclipse > Window > Preferences and click in Run/Debug and String Substitution
Add a new variable called: user.home and set it to C:\Users\Administrator
Create an AVD and run it.

As a work-around, you can define the environment variable ANDROID_SDK_HOME to point to the directory containing your .android directory. The emulator and SDK Manager will pick it up properly.

To change the ANDROID_SDK_HOME variable in Ubuntu (as requested in the comment):

Edit your .profile file with a command like gedit ~/.profile and append the following to the end of the file:

export ANDROID_SDK_HOME=/your/android-sdk/path/here

Here's a list of some variables you can modify for Android Tools.

export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools

export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools

export ANDROID_SDK_HOME=~/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_HOME
