adb.exe not found after installing Android Studio

I installed Android Studio 1.2.1.1 and also created virtual device. I am trying to install one app (APK file) through command line but I could not find adb.exe file on my machine. Please help where should I look for adb.exe file on the machine.

Solution

  • The adb.exe file will be located at your Android SDK folder, inside platform-tools

    ...\android-sdk-path\platform-tools\adb.exe

    The default location where Android SDK is installed is:

    C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\

    So adb will be located at:

    C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe

    To access it on a command line, open cmd.exe and type:

    cd C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\

    and then your normal command

    adb <insert parameters here>
