Answer 1

In Windows 10,

1. Add User Variable PATH: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools.
2. Restart cmd (if any open).
3. adb devices, it should list, if it does, you are all set.

That's it!

Answer 2

Add your path into environment variable "PATH" where you installed your sdk with below:

\Sdk\platform-tools

You can in image below for example:

and reopen your command prompt to see changes.

Answer 3

I had same problem when I define PATH below

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_45\bin;C:\dev\sdk\android\platform-tools

and the problem solved when I bring adb root at first.

C:\dev\sdk\android\platform-tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_45\bin

Answer 4

just open Android studio and press "Tools" on Top navigation bar

tools->SDK Manager

Where you can get SDK location

Open SDK folder -> platform-tools

Answer 5

Set the path of adb into System Variables. You can find adb in "ADT Bundle/sdk/platform-tools" Set the path and restart the cmd n then try again.

Or

You can also goto the dir where adb.exe is located and do the same thing if you don't wanna set the PATH.

If you wanna see all the paths, just do

echo %PATH%

Answer 6

If you want to use it every time add the path of adb to your system variables: enter to cmd (command prompt) and write the following:

echo %PATH%

this command will show you what it was before you will add adb path

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools"

be careful the path that you want to add if it contains double quote

after you restart your cmd rewrite:

echo %PATH%

you will find that the path is added

PS: if you just want to add the path to cmd just to this session you can use:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
