AVD path problem

We can test our Android program on the Android Virtual Device (AVD).  An AVD is a device configuration for the Android emulator that allows you to model different device configurations.

By default, the AVD is saved in \\data\<<username>>\.android\avd. For some reasons, Eclispe doesn't go to the correct path to look up the configuration. User will receive error like "Failed to parse properties from config.ini".

   Variable name: ANDROID_SDK_HOME
   Variable value: C:\Users\>User Name<
