You can use either the eclipse menu or the shell console to start the android simulator.
Method 1: Eclipse menu
Click "window" menu ---> select "AVD manager" ---> open the "android Virtual Device Manager" window.
Click "new..." to create a new AVD. After creation, click "start..." to start the simulator.
Method 2: Shell Console
The installation directory of my android SDK is c: \ Program Files \ Android-SDK \ tools. Therefore, use the CMD shell to enter the installation directory of the SDK,
Run c: \ Program Files \ Android-SDK \ tools> emulator.exe-AVD upnptest to start the simulator.
However, if the android configuration is incorrect, the following error will be reported regardless of the method used to start the simulator:
C: \ Program Files \ Android-SDK \ tools> emulator.exe-AVD upnptest
Panic: cocould not open: C: \ Documents ents and Settings \ Administrator \. Android/AVD/upnptest. ini
This problem occurs because android_sdk_home is not configured. The simulator uses the current user's environment directory as the directory of android_sdk_home, causing an error.
We only need to set the android_sdk_home of the system environment variable to your own directory. The directory I set is E: \ androidinstallpath, disable eclipse, restart eclipse, and delete the previously created AVD, then create a new instance to start the instance properly.
