Moving default AVD configuration folder (.android)
I've found the answer.
- Move
.androidfolder toE:\Android - Create environment variable calledANDROID_SDK_HOME and set its value to
E:\Android
Setting the environment variable on Windows XP or Windows 7:
- Right-click on My Computer and choose "Properties"
- Click the "Advanced" tab
- Click the button "Environment Variables".
- Add New variable
By default, the emulator stores configuration files under $HOME/.android/ and AVD data under $HOME/.android/avd/. You can override the defaults by setting the following environment variables.
The emulator searches the avd directory in the order of the values in $ANDROID_AVD_HOME, $ANDROID_SDK_HOME/.android/avd/, and $HOME/.android/avd/.
This page provides the list of environmental variables supported by android studio: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/variables
The path set in ANDROID_SDK_HOME must exist. Otherwise the default path will be chosen.But it is not necessary to include .android. The AVD Manager creates a .android folder, if not found in ANDROID_SDK_HOME.
