Piece of code to test:

Here I am trying to read Android installation path from windows registry.

public static void main(String[] args) {

try {

Map<String, Object> values = Advapi32Util.registryGetValues(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\Wow6432Node\\Android SDK Tools");

for (String value : values.keySet()) {

System.out.println(value + "   " + values.get(value));

}

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

try {

Map<String, Object> values = Advapi32Util.registryGetValues(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\Wow6432Node\\Android SDK Tools");

for (String value : values.keySet()) {

System.out.println(value + "   " + values.get(value));

}

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

Output:
