eclipse can't locate my sdk folder

Question

I've already installed android sdk and the adt plugin on eclipse helios* on windows 7. when i go to preference, however, i got a problem in locating my sdk location. my sdk location was "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools". it says "Could not find folder 'tool...roid-sdk\platform-tools\'". I also tried to update android sdk, but it says access denied.

I've been looking into some forums about this, but i only found those that has problems locating the adb.exe on their folders. Any help would be appreciated, because i badly need to develop an android app for my thesis and tech presentation. thank you very much.

*eclipse helios is not really installed, I'm using its program files that i copied. i don't know if installing it or just running the files will affect the android sdk, so..yeah.

Answer 1

I found my SDK location in the following way (I have Windows 7 OS, and I use Eclipse):

In Eclipse: Window -> Preferences -> Android. There, you can find it in a textbox, near the label "SDK Location".

I hope it will help someone in the future.

Judging from what's configured in my Eclipse (and I can work with Android, launch Emulators and all, so it's configured OK), you should not use the following path :

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

But only this one :

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk

Basically, you should indicate the path to the directory that contains the whole SDK, and not to the platform-tools directory.
