My sdk manager path is "C:\Android\android-sdk" and the path i have kept in preferences for sdk location too is "C:\Android\android-sdk".Still it says that system cannot find the path specified.What do i do???

Thanks in advance.

Is "C:\Android\android-sdk;" in your PATH variable?

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

This looks like someone didn't surround text that includes spaces with quotes ("). Without the quotes, something like "C:\Program Files\and\so\on" will be truncated to "C:\Program" by Windows. And that will cause problems.

ty for your reply....i added the 'C:\Android\android-sdk;' to my path variable but i am still getting the exact same error....plz help..

Did you try to download the ADT bundle? Go here and download that. That gives you everything you should need (including Eclipse and the plugin)

 

[Posiedon]

ok i'll try that too..will reply soon.

So the "C:\Program" error message that I saw was something parsing the path to the Java binaries improperly?

Glad to hear it's fixed. For future reference, or if moving the Java directory breaks other things, remember that in Windows you can use double-quotes (") to surround a path and/or file name containing spaces to get it to parse properly. You need to put the quotes at the very ends of the entire string, BTW. "C:\Program Files\My Program" is good; C:\"Program Files"\"My Program" can cause problems.

You can also use DOS-compatible notation, renaming "Program Files" to something like "PROGRA~1", which also saves space. Note that in Windows 7 there are at least three directories that start with "PROGRA" (it's the first six characters, a tilde and a number that increments) so you might need to use "PROGRA~2" and so on to get the right directory.
