I'm trying to run an Android Virtual Device (AVD) for the first time using the Eclipse ADT Bundle on Windows 7 Ultimate. After creating the AVD and clicking "Start," I get the following error:
emulator error cannot include system.img
I've verified that the system.img file exists in the following directory:
E:\soft\Android SDK (ADT Bundle for Windows 32-Bit) + APK Multi-Tool\adt-bundle- windows- x86- 20130522\ sdk\ system- images
I've searched online but haven't found a solution. What could be causing this error, and how can I fix it?
Fine, after a short coversation with an Android expert, I believe this is a right answer to your question.
There shouldn't be anything wrong with the install path chosen. Make sure you have installed JDK. Version 7 is recommended, but you can use v8.x without problems. Also, read the necessary documents.
There's commentary on the Developers site regarding Eclipse not locating the system images. If you execute Eclipse from its sub-folder in the Tools folder it should automatically read the sub directory of system image(s), which is a few folders down from the tools folder. You may need to map the path to the images if Eclipse was run from the desktop, apart from the ADT bundle's hierarchy.
Also consider using the newer Android Studio (in case you still dont get along with Eclipse).
