Treehouse TeacherHi Karthick,
Sorry you're having trouble! A few quick questions:
- Which version of the Android bundle are you using? Which operating system?
- Have you updated the SDK manually using SDK Manager?
- Did you run the "initial_setup" script after unzipping the bundle?
Though I haven't seen this exact error before, this sounds like a problem with one of the paths. There are a few different components for the SDK, tools, and Eclipse, and they all need to be configured correctly. Can you check your Android SDK path inside Eclipse by going to (Mac): Eclipse > Preferences > Android or (Windows): Windows > Preferences > Android and checking "SDK Location"? It should point to the SDK in the bundle.
Ex.
- Mac: <path to bundle>/android_dev_environment/android-sdk-macosx
- Windows: <path to bundle>\android_dev_environment\android-sdk-windows
Lastly, if things look okay, check out the top two answers in this StackOverflow question.
Hope this helps!
