Your project location contains whitespace. (Android Studio)

Question

I am just moved from Eclipse to Android Studio for android application development. I am getting the following warning at the time of creating projects

Your project location contains whitespace. This can cause problem on some plateform and is not recommended

I wanted to know how to resolve this and is it serious or not?

Answer 1

The white space refers to any name in the location that has a space.

In the example:

c:/users/MyDocuments

the location does not have white space. However, the location

c:/users/My Documents

has white space. Remove the spaces from the folder names in your location or use underscore to remove the white space from your location.

Answer 2

This will not cause any serious issue. You can continue your regular development. But as you have recently switched to the new environment, so I think it will be easy to move your directory now. If you face any import or export related issue later (when moving the directory would have become harder), then it will be really a pain for you.

How you can solve this issue: Just change the directory of your workspace to (where there wouldn't be any white space).

For example: c:/users/documents

Answer 3

I took the UNIX approach, and created a symbolic link to where the directory should be located. On Windows, from a command window:

mklink /j C:\android-sdk C:\"Program Files"\Android\android-sdk
