Could not find adb.exe - after upgrade to Android SDK 2.3


I simply did "Help" -> "Check for uppdates" in Eclipse. Then I checked every update possible (I had 2) accepted, waited for the updates to complete, restarted Eclipse and then everything was fixed!

I had some new build errors after the update, though, saying something like:

error: Multiple substitutions specified in non-positional format; did you mean to add the formatted="false" attribute

I won't explain the solution to that problem since this post isn't about it!However; the solution to that problem can be found in the Google Groups group Android Developers post, SDK 2.3: Get "Multiple substitutions specified in non-positional format" error.


I had the same issue. I resolved it by going to Help -> Check for Updates and update the listed components in Eclipse.


You need to update the PATH to reflect ADB located in "Platform-Tools" now.

On Mac OS X, open up your terminal and add the following line to your .bash_profile:

export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/yourname/Library/android-sdk/tools:/Users/yourname/Library/android-sdk/platform-tools:

Your .bash_profile is located at

~/.bash_profile
