I'm not super good with any linux code and I haven't used the cmd prompt a whole lot since I was about 12 years old to play hangman in dos. It took me a long time to get the SDK to even recognize my phone. Used sdparted in sdk to switch from ext3 to ext4. That is about all I know how to do from the AndroidSDK/tools prompt.
Here's what I want to do. I don't mind typing on my phone whoever it is much easier to type on my computer. I want to enter a lot of information into an application I have on my phone, but using my keypad on the phone itself would be really tedious. I'm not sure if running the emulator from the SDK is what I want to use. I tried to get it working and have failed.
I tried typing in "avd devices" (Try to do my own research before posting) this gave me some error about: "java is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
I'm not really trying to write my own apps. I don't think I'm smart enough. I just want to make entering data onto my phone a bunch easier.
O and I'm rooted using Cyanogen's newest ROM
Strange.
cd to your SDK tools folder.
Then you can create an AVD.
You can do this with the following command:
android create avd -n [ENTER A NAME]
Then you can run it by this command: emulator @[GIVEN NAME]
This will make a AVD the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\.android
Tried like you said. Same error message. Something about Java. Didn't even get past the first part. Sucks because everytime I do this it's a freaking hastle!
C:\Users\Harry>cd/
C:\>cd androidsdk/tools
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>android create avd -n mytouch
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
SWT folder '' does not exist.
Please set ANDROID_SWT to point to the folder containing swt.jar for your platfo
rm.
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>
have you installed JDK?; http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Something wrong with Java.
Alright so in the past hour I've learned a lot. I uninstalled Java and reinstalled it. This allowed me to type in "android list targets". And everything worked. You're right Strange...
So I typed in this: android create avd -n my_android1.6 -t 2 (I'm reading all this right from the Android Developers site)
Everything worked then at AndroidSDK/tools I typed this: emulator -avd my_android1.6 -t 2
Opened the Emulator however this looks like a stock version of Android not my phone. All very cool and I feel somewhat better, but this still doesn't help me type any information into applications that are actually on my phone? Thanks for your help on this I'm trying not to be dumb. Hopefully you know what to do or what I messed up. Is it something about creating the AVD that I did wrong?
Like I said I'm running Cyanogen 4.2.5 and all my apps are on my SD Card not sure if this has anything to do with emulator or if I'm even getting any closer to a solution.
Android ScreenCast!
This is what I want to do right here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557717
This is the solution, but it's not responding to any of my mouse inputs or keystrokes. Any ideas? This would be the best thing ever if I could get it to work. It looks like my phone exactly when I run the program, but nothing works.
im a noob to this...ive tried to do this many times but it just wont let me update it. i found the usb driver folder it just said that their is no driver in this folder?
please help
thank you
in the driver folder all i have is AMD64 and i386
Download HTC Sync for eris and it should automatically update drivers..
i think you need to point it to the "usb" folder and not one of the sub folders.
in any case, dclay is correct... htc sync will install drivers as well...

downloaded it now im on to the command prompt....now it keeps saying bad command bla bla
do i have to put the location of my tools folder into the command prompt?
it says...""is ont recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file?
damn my buddy has an droid that does this sooo easily
Open command prompt and type "cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools"
This is assuming you have it saved on your C drive and have it renamed "AndroidSDK"
I did a few things the other day in SDK, messing around with emulators. Now I can't get adb to work.
I keep getting this:
c:\AndroidSDK>adb
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
This is the exact path I had used in the past, even following the .txt instructions that have worked for me in the past.
Yes in am in debugging, charge only, partition mount showing "unmount /system" like it has in the past. Does this have anything to do with what packages I updated when I was messing with SDK emulator?

Go into the directory and see if there is a file called adb in there...if it's not check the other folders like tools or something like that i'm at work so i don't know the exact name of the directories...

This is a PC error message stating that the file adb.exe is no longer in the AndroidSDK directory. As zervic mentioned, check and see if the file adb.exe is in that directory.
We're onto something...there is no adb in the AndroidSDK folder. So where do I get this adb? I did the SDK so long ago, like 5 months. Don't remember a thing about it and consider myself lucky that I got it going back then, piecing together youtube videos and several forums.

Just reinstall (or unzip if I remember right) the Android SDK into that directory
I started the "update all" in the "installed packages" window. If that doesn't fix it, I shall follow your advice.
Edit: The "update all" didn't fix it.
I found the .zip and extracted it to my c:\AndroidSDK folder, but still a nogo. I also tried copying adb.exe straight to the AndroidSDK folder, still a nogo.
Anything else to try?
When I copied adb.exe to the tools folder and tried adb in cmd prompt, I got "This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"
Are they telling me to uninstall SDK and start over? Like I said, I was lucky to get it going the first time!
Smack myself in the head while I Edit: Found the AdbWinApi.dll in the zip and copied it to the tools folder. Adb runs now and recognizes my device. Later I will find out if I can rm some stock apps from my wife's new phone.
Thanks for your help in this matter.

Just so you know that may be a little unstable. It may be worth your while to check the "platform-tools" folder and see if adb is in there, i believe that's where it is by default and it also may be worth your while to run adb from that folder instead of where you jerry rigged it to run. But, on the other hand, it may work the way you have it. You never know. Just figured I'd throw that out there.
While rooting my Nook Color, I came across a recommendation for a free app in the market called adbWireless.
It's AWESOME! No need to use USB or worry about drivers, just install the app, push the big huge button and then type the adb command it shows you to connect to your device. Worked absolutely perfectly on my Nook... haven't tried it on my Aria, but next time I need to ADB something on it, you can bet I will!
did anyone check their tools directory?
ie: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
LOL
Error: adb is not recogzined as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file???
i successfully installed the android sdk 08 and still got this message.
Has winxp, tmobile GT
I had this same exact problem, but I was just able to get it working. First, this website is helped a lot:
http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-use-android-adb-command-line-tool/
Also, make sure you download the Java SDK package from the link given on that website.
Second, when the website says to "Run Windows command line tool (cmd) and go to D:\android-sdk-windows\tool" open command prompt and enter this code:
cd (enter the path to where the android SDK was installed), for example:
cd C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Notice how I entered "platform-tools" instead of just "tools" because this is the folder where the adb file is download with the android SDK. After you do this, you should then be able to apply adb codes (make sure the screen on your tab is on because you will have to accept superuser prompts, therefore your tab needs to be rooted).
Every time you open command prompt, you will have to enter:
cd thentheplacewheretheandroidSDKisinstalled
as stated above before you are able to enter adb commands.
Hope this helps!
@caveman999 is giving good advice. Working in the command window is weird to those who did not use old pc-dos environment.
You have to be in the tools directory or you have to edit your PATH in windows so you can use adb from any prompt.
thnaks for both of you guys i installed the java jdk and also specified the path in environment variables but still error message!
I could only get adb to work error-free when I was in the same directory as adb.exe program. Just change directories cd..(enter) etc until you are in that directory.

I had the same error, until I downloaded and placed the .adb files accordingly.
Source: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
"UPDATE: If it says adb not found or something similar, download the ADB files and extract them into the Tools folder of the SDK (they were taken out by Google in the R08 version for some reason and need to be put back)."
download adb files from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RTEY0Q97
The important thing is to put the files really under the "tools" folder.
When you check out above Source I am sure your problem will be solved
Thank you all problem solved

Glad to here it. Why not hit a few thanks buttons?!
I have read every post I can find pertaining to setting up ADB. On the first try, I was able to get my computer to recognize the device as an Android Phone with Android ADB Interface. However, whenever I try to execute an admin command prompt I get the following error:
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.. I haven't done command prompts in 20 years (back when that was the only way to get the computer to do anything). It is probably a syntax error but I can't figure it out. I know how to change directories. Do I need the Android SDK and the Java JDK installed? I currently have a rooted Nook Tablet and all I want to do is sideload a few apps on this HD+, I'd rather not root until we get all the 'bugs' worked out. Thanks in advance.

Go to my HD+ tips thread linked in my signature. There is a file attached there, adb.rar. Download and extract that. There should be three files there. Put them in the folder on your PC where you want to run adb. That error you discussed is that it could not find those adb files in the folder you were running in.
