I'm having a bit of an issue with the emulator launching from Eclipse. I have everything set up to the letter as far as I can tell and I'm just following the Hello, World example and when I try and run it after setting up the emulator I get this:
[2011-08-18 17:43:16 - Emulator] invalid command-line parameter: Files\Android\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe.
[2011-08-18 17:43:16 - Emulator] Hint: use '#foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'.
[2011-08-18 17:43:16 - Emulator] please use -help for more information
Don't use spaces in sdk path.If your sdk contains path like program files/sdk-windsows then it will prompt error.Place in a directory where no spaces exists

Does not pop up the emulator. however, I see the following error message instead.

Thanks StackOverflow
It's because you've installed the android sdk into your Program Files folder. You should install it into a path with no spaces, C:\android-sdk or something.
To break it down, it's calling the executable without quotes around the path to the file, i.e. C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe is viewed without quotes as calling the program C:\Program with the parameter of Files\Android\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe. It's a simple flaw that they haven't fixed in several versions. It's especially problematic sense the installer naturally wants to install in Program Files by default.

android emulator does not work
I cannot make my android emulator work, it gives me these error message.

what can I do to make it work?
Sometimes, because there is spaces in the path to your AVD, you need to run it using a batch file like this;
c:
cd c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
emulator -cpu-delay 0 -no-boot-anim -cache ./cache #my_avd
If your serious about deving for android however, I'd really recommend using a phone to debug, its like 4/5 times faster then the emulator....
I am getting this error when I am trying to launch my first Hello World Android application. I am doing the tutorial based on Sams Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours.How can I resolve this?

Change the path of the SDK your path to Program Files\Android\android-sdk tools/emulator-arm.exe. Put the SDK directly in the drive, that is, d:\Android\android-sdk-tools\emulator-arm.exe.
Note: also remove spaces from the path by renaming the folder name.
Use Eclipse and the Android plugin to make this via a graphical user interface. That would be better for a newcomer.
When I run my hello world application, the android emulator fails to launch.Even when i am creating a new emulator it fails to launch giving me the following error.

First of all you need to check are you in correct folder?
$...local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator -list-avds
If so it will show you list of emulators that you have in your Android studio you are on right track
Last part for launching an emulator
local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator -avd Nexus_5X(name of your emulator you want to open)
The problem is, that you have specified your SDK in a file what has space, in its name For example: Android SDK You need to change it to something what hasn't got space in its name.
Hope it helps.
Or if you specified it in the Program Files use it:
Progra~1 instead of Program Files.
You are not specifying what AVD to launch. Please read the SDK docs in full, they will show you how to do this.
Tip: Launch the "android.exe" (I think, I use Linux where it's simply "android") app instead, create an AVD and launch it, all from the graphical interface.
The tricky part is finding name #foo
to find exact name of emulator run android command line emulator -list-avds aka ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator -list-avds
2.it will show you emulator names but emulator names that you pass to command line
bonus: you probably will get PANIC error in that case you need to add ANDROID_PATH read more here https://stackoverflow.com/a/49511666/6133329
On windows don't install the Android SDK to a path with spaces in it like C:\Program Files\AndroidSDK. Instead install it to C:\AndroidSDK\ or something like that.
Try this It worked for me...
emulator #avd_name [ {-option [value]} … ]
Type command emulator #youremulatorname
For more Check out this Link
For Windows
Check whether you have an emulator on your PC.
If it is there add the path below to the environment variable
C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator
and
remove C:\Users\deepank\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools
:
Whenever I run the project an error is displayed. It says:
[2011-07-18 13:36:34 - Emulator] invalid command-line parameter: Files\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe.

I am not getting what's wrong.
I also faced same issue. There is a bug with Android v12. See this discussion for your solution. And I followed Carl S answer. Now its working fine.
