If you are using Linux, exporting the ANDROID_HOME in the .bashrc may not work.

export ANDROID_HOME=/home/toro/etc/android-sdk-linux

For me it works only when I export ANDROID_HOME in the /etc/environment file like this:

ANDROID_HOME=/home/toro/etc/android-sdk-linux

You have to restart the computer to get it works.

You simply have to log out, and log in again for the environment variable to be applied system-wide. Optionally, you could just source it locally to test it out before you do that: $source /etc/environment
