I have tried many things mentioned on different forums like adding sdk paths to the environment variables but it didnt work for me.

Solution

  • As part of solution:
    1) Check that you can get adb version by typing adb version in console.
    1.1) Check that you are using same adb in eclipse and in console if #1 is working. Type which adb in console and compare path to adb with path to adb in Eclipse.
    2) Open AVD manager and check that android tools are installed.
    3) Check path
    4) Check that adb wasn't installed by other user, or check execution rights.

    Solution that helped: install IA32 if you are using 64 bit architecture.
