I'm trying to run the simple Simulink model found in: https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/android/ref/getting-started-with-android-devices.html
And I'm getting the following error:

How do I solve?

Quit MATLAB (for the moment)
Rename C:\Users\Guilherme\Documents\MATLAB to a shorter name, such as C:\Users\Guilherme\Documents\ML
Now start MATLAB again. Then
userpath('C:\Users\Guilherme\Documents\ML')
or whatever name you used.
However, this particular rename only gets you 4 characters of leeway. You would be better off creating a new directory such as
C:\Users\G\Doc\ML
and copying C:\Users\Guilherme\Documents\MATLAB into it, and then using userpath() to activate it. Or if you have a separate partition, perhaps something like D:\MATLAB

Does this not damage the paths of the other documents in the Matlab folder? when changing the name to the address, recently I had a problem when changing the username to install android studio, since my previous user had spaces, but after changing it, no documents were located for me anymore.

I do not know?
userpath() is what should be used internally. But you pathdef might reflect the old locations. And especially for third-party code such as Android, I would not trust that the interface code definitely uses the Mathworks standards to use userpath()

You may change your "Current Folder" to a shorter path, for exmaple "C:\Temp" and build the model.
