How can I change the path to android\avd in my Android Studio ?

Let say you want to move avd directory from it's default C:\users\<username>\.android\avd to D:\Development\avd

1. Move avd directory to desired location (ex. D:\Development\avd)
2. Change or add environment variable ANDROID_AVD_HOME : D:\Development\avd
   • On Windows: Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables
   • If variable doesn't exits Click New... and fill with aforementioned data.
   • If variable exists then select variable, click on Edit... and replace variable value with the new path (ex. D:\Development\avd)
     
3. If you have already AVD, change avdName.ini to D:\Development\avd\avdName (ex. D:\Development\avd\Nexus_S_API_22.avd)
