How to change default list path of AVD manager in linux?

Question

I do read relevant topics before asking the question, but none is helpful.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04, the default path of AVD is ~/.android/avd, and I would like to change it, how can I make it?

Thanks for reply.

Answer 1

You can use a symbolic link to change the default path of AVD in Linux.

mv ~/.android/avd ~/.android/avd_bak #take backup of existing images in case you need them
ln -s path/to/my/avd ~/.android/avd

Now whenever you create a new image they will actually be created in the new location. For moving the existing images to the new folder you can follow the steps mentioned in Rajesh's answer
