604 Pointserror opening AVD manager
I have win 7 and the android studio I was told to download in your video, if I try to launch an emulator i get this message: The system cannot find the path specified. ERROR: SWT folder 'lib\x86_64' does not exist. Please set ANDROID_SWT to point to the folder containing swt.jar for your platform.
I am downloading genymotion, but I would still like this to work.
Thanks

28,738 PointsHello,
Are you using a 64 bit version of Windows? If so, have you installed the 64 bit version of the Java JDK? If this doesn't help, there are more steps we can take, I just want to get a baseline of how you are setup currently before getting to the more in depth steps.

604 Pointsyes both are 64 bit versions. sorry it took so long to get back, been busy with school!

28,738 PointsHello,
I'd recommend checking your JAVA_HOME environment variable to make sure it is set correctly. You can refer to this page for help with that if necessary. If that doesn't work, there are a few stackoverflow pages here and here with similar problems(but not quite the same) that might have some useful information. Please let me know if this helps or not and if any new messages appear.

604 Pointsi could get in and view the environment variables but not edit or make new. I have windows 7. the file is JAVA_HOME is there something I need to add to this like /bin maybe? and how? thanks
James Simshaw
28,738 PointsYou should be able to edit the user ones without need to run anything as an admin. I believe what the stackoverflow posts are suggesting is to add ";%JAVA_HOME%/bin" to the end of your user's path variable(if one isn't there for your user, then you can create it). Also, out of curiousity, how did you end up installing the SDK and Android Studio?

604 PointsLong story short, we had Vin Thomas come speak at ITT, and he told me about treehouse. Then I heard about code oregon and I dove into android app development. I love coding, wish I had been doing it for years instead of beating up my body! Thanks for your help, Im gonna work on creating that variable.

604 PointsI think I fixed it, we will see here

604 PointsI changed the variable but now it says - file not found x86_64 the system could not find the path specified-
Maybe download again?

28,738 PointsIf you reinstall Android Studio and the SDK, please make sure to download the latest versions. Also, did you try the suggestion that was the accepted answer in each of those stackoverflow posts?
