Why can't I run the android emulator? java.io.IOException: error=13, Permission denied

Question

I have installed everything like I was told to by the android website and all I keep getting after I create my avd is:

Failed to start emulator: Cannot run progr         


        

Answer 1

go to your directory

/home/hevel/eclipse/android-sdk-linux_86//tools/emulator

to set permissions

chmod +777 emulator
