Android simple program run error

I have just installed Android SDK to my Eclipse, but when I run a simple program on Eclipse I get following error.

[2012-05-02 11:15:11 - Emulator] invalid command-line parameter: and.
[2012-05-02 11:15:11 - Emulator] Hint: use '@foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'.
[2012-05-02 11:15:11 - Emulator] please use -help for more information

I added ADT plugin to Eclipse and also set path for Android SDK as 

C:\Documents and Settings\ganesh\android-sdk_r12-windows\android-sdk-windows

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks

Ganesh.

Its a very commmon issue and a bug with Android SDK. "Documents and Settings" have spaces and it breaks it.

You have 2 options

  1. Re-Install SDK and avoid having spaces in the folders.
  2. instead of Documents and Settings replace it with DOCUME~1 if not then DOCUME~2 (some dos path)

e.g. C:\DOCUME~1\ganesh\android-sdk_r12-windows\android-sdk-windows

I hope you'd like the secound option as you don't have to re-install SDK again. It works for me.

I second Rasel, another workaround is changing the "SDK Location" in the Android Preferences in Eclipse to its corresponding 8dot3 directory name, As here "Documents and Settings" is causing the problem, change it to its corresponding 8dot3 directory name, that would probably be DOCUME~1 so the comple path would be

C:\DOCUME~1\ganesh\android-sdk_r12-windows\android-sdk-windows

If you don't know the 8dot3 name of your desired path, just use command prompt and execute "DIR /X"

Android sdk path can't contain any spaces.So your path C:\Documents and Settings\ganesh\android-sdk_r12-windows\android-sdk-windows is wrong. Put your sdk in a path like c:\android-sdk that containes no space.
