If you go to your android-sdk tools folder I think you ll find a message       The adb tool has moved to platform-tools       If you don t see this directory in your SDK    launch the SDK and AVD Manager  execute the android tool    and install  Android SDK Platform-tools       Please also update your PATH environment variable to   include the platform-tools  directory  so you can   execute adb from any location    So you should also add C  android-sdk platform-tools to you environment path  Also after you modify the PATH variable make sure that you start a new CommandPrompt window

You have two ways   First go to the particular path of Android SDK    1  Open your command prompt and traverse to the platform-tools directory through it such as     cd Frameworks Android-Sdk platform-tools  2  Run your adb commands now such as to know that your adb is working properly      adb devices OR adb logcat OR simply adb  Second way is    1  Right click on your My Computer   2  Open Environment variables   3  Add new variable to your System PATH variable Add if not exist otherwise no need to add new variable if already exist    4  Add path of platform-tools directory to as value of this variable such as C  Program Files android-sdk platform-tools   5  Restart your computer once   6  Now run the above adb commands such adb devices or other adb commands from anywhere in command prompt   Also on  you can fire a command on terminal  setx PATH   PATH  C  Program Files android-sdk platform-tools

If you get your adb from Android Studio  which most will nowadays since Android is deprecated on Eclipse   your adb program will most likely be located here    USERPROFILE  AppData Local Android sdk platform-tools  Where  USERPROFILE  represents something like C  Users yourName   If you go into your computer s environmental variables and add  USERPROFILE  AppData Local Android sdk platform-tools to the PATH  just copy-paste that line  even with the   --- it will work fine  at least on Windows  you don t need to hardcode your username  then it should work now  Open a new command prompt and type adb to check
