Today i started to develop some Android application on my home computer. When i wanted to debug my application i got the following errors:
emulator: ERROR: unknown virtual device name: 'android-15'
emulator: could not find virtual device named 'android-15'
Guess what? Because my Users directory is not located on the C:\ disk but on the D:\ disk i got this error. This is due to the Android Developer Kit creating an .android folder in your \Users\{username}\ folder, and expecting it to be on the C:\ disk.
Fix: On Windows Vista + you can create a simlink with the ‘mklink’ command.
- Open a command prompt and navigate to
C:\Users\{username} - Execute the following:
mklink /J .android D:\Users\{UserName}.android
This creates a virtual reference to the .android folder (located on my D: partition) as if it was existing on the C:\ partition. #yay
