operable program or batch file.

Answer 1

This is where I found it:

C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools

I had to put the complete path into the file explorer. I couldn't just click down to it because the directories are hidden.

I found this path listed in Android studio:

Tools > Android > SDK Manager > SDK Tools

Answer 2

In my case it was:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

Answer 3

The New Android Studio 1.3 has its ADB location at:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools.

Now add this location to the end of PATH of environment variables. Eg:

;C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools

Answer 4

You could just drag the adb.exe on to the command prompt from sdk/platformtools and leave a space and type the command you want: like logcat.

It looks like this for me:

C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130917\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130917\sdk\platform-tools.exe logcat

and hit enter.

Answer 5

First select drive that is where Android sdk folder is there. Then you Follow the below steps

cd DriveName:/ or Ex : cd c:/ Press 'Enter'

then you will give the path that is adb console path is there in a platform-tools folder so cd Root Folder/inner root folder if there/Platform-tools Press 'Enter' then it selects the adb directory.

Answer 6

I did this on Windows 7, by going to:

Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables...

In this Environment Variables window, in the User variables for (your-username) highlight Path and click Edit...

You then need to append a ; if there isn't already one at the end of the Variable value field, and then append C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools; to that same field.

Then click the three OK buttons to get out.

If you already have a Command Prompt window open, close it then re-open and the adb devices command should then work.
