Android Problem: Eclipse cannot find ADB.exe

Question

First, I know this problem has been asked before, namely : Could not find adb.exe on my tools folder

but I tried every answer given and none work (even the accepted answer).

My problem is that I updated the Android SDK and now Eclipse cannot find adb.exe. I know where it is, it is in platform-tools directory, but I can't get Eclipse to read it from there. I updated the path. Now what has happened is, in all my projects the asset folder is empty, meaning there is no android jar file. Also, clicking on the SDK update manager from inside eclipse does nothing. I have no idea why. Lastly, if I try to install new software in Eclipse (ADT update?) it wont allow it.

In the project -> preferences tab I get the following message:

Could not find C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb.exe!

I'm working on Windows 7 with Galileo eclipse. Can anyone offer any help?

Answer 1

The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/

If you don't see this directory in your SDK, launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool) and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"

Answer 2

I also faced the same problem before but now i solved the problem by following the step below

Step 1: You know where your android-sdk is installed in your system if you didnt changed the location search in ProgramFiles/Android

step 2: close eclipse.

Step 3: Copy adb.exe in android-sdk/platform-tools/ folder

Step 4: Paste that adb.exe in android-sdk/tools/ folder

Step 5: Now open eclipse go to Windows --> Preferences choose android then click browse and select android-sdk with in few minutes it shows APK levels installed in your system press Apply
