ADT environment variables

ADT reads the values of the following environment variables (if they are set):

AIR_ANDROID_SDK_HOME specifies the path to the root directory of the Android SDK (the directory containing the tools folder). If this variable is set, then the -platformsdk option does not need to be specified when running the ADT commands which require it. If both this variable and the command-line option are set, the path specified on the command line is used.

Note: On some computer systems, double-byte characters in the file system paths stored in these environment variables can be misinterpreted. If this occurs, try setting the JRE used to run ADT to use the UTF-8 character set. This is done by default in the script used to launch ADT on Mac and Linux. In the Windows adt.bat file, or when you run ADT directly from Java, specify the -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 option on the Java command line.
