I see there a lot of similar topics pertaining to this issue but I did not find a solution for me among those posts. I just installed Android Studio v0.8.14 and it won’t let me create a new project because I do not have an SDK path specified. For the life of me I cannot find where that path should be. I see many people have it located in C:/Android or someplace similar, however the only Android files I have are on my desktop in the extracted folder that came in the .zip. All paths inside that folder do not qualify as an appropriate SDK location, according to Android Studio. Am I being completely ridiculous and missing the obvious?

(in username : please enter valid username)
Install it and restart your Android Studio.
The above steps are similar for win 7 and also same for eclipse.

This is the sdk path Android Studio installed for me:
«C:Users<username>appdatalocalandroidsdk»
I’m running windows 8.1.
You can find the path going into Android Studio -> Configure -> SDK Manager -> On the top left it should say SDK Path.
I don’t think it’s necessary to install the sdk separately, as the default option for Android Studio is to install the latest sdk too.

I had forgot where the sdk location was installed to so what I did was open Android Studio and selected Settings
then used the following submenu
Current 1/1/2017:Tools -> SDK Manager
outdate: Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK
There the sdk location was listed as Android SDK Location

Start Android Studio and select Configure —> SDK Manager
Then, check the path of Android SDK
If you can’t find the SDK location, you may want to download it. Just scroll down to near end of the download page and select the Android SDK with respect to your OS.

The location I found it in for Windows 8.1. I think the default SDK folder. AppData is a hidden folder, so you will not locate it unless you type it in once you get into your C:Users folder.

When i upgraded i just moved my SDK to my user folder C:UsersNickAndroid-SDK and updated my path in Android Studio. Worked like a charm.
EDIT: (More detail) — My SDK was originally inside C:Program Files (x86)Androidandroid-studiosdk, I just Cut and Paste the entire sdk folder into C:UsersNickAndroid-SDK, then set it inside Android Studio to the new location.

AS has the SDK directory name changed from …/sdk to …/Sdk
Because I kept my original settings this caused an issue.
Changed back to lowercase and all working!

Also when you run it, be sure to right click the Android Studio while on the Dock and select «Options» -> «Keep on Dock». Everything else works.

create a new folder in your android studio parent directory folder. Name it sdk or whatever you want.
Select that folder from the drop down list when asked.
Thats what solves it for me.

I tried the accepted solution but it didn’t resolve the issue for me.
I had already installed Android Studio 2-3 years ago, but I uninstalled it at some point. Installing the latest version was giving me an error. I did multiple uninstalls/reinstallations, but the issue persisted.
I found an SDK was available on my machine in %LocalAppData%. I opened the environment variable and deleted all the references of Android like Android Home /Path. I performed the uninstallation of Android Studio and then reinstalled.
This time it worked and installed properly; it is even downloading the other SDK-related files.

I found this a couple of minutes back.
What renders the location unuseful is the fact that it is neither empty nor has the sdk.
One of the conditions needs to be met for the folder.
So, try this:
-
On Windows, go to Control Panel and search for ‘show hidden folders and files’.
You will find a «Folders» option. On the submenu, you will see «Show hidden files and
folders».
[The options look like this.][1] -
Refer this image.
[Click the option shown in the picture][2] -
Click apply and ok.
-
Go to the location i.e. some location in appdata, or the location your android sdk was
about to be installed in. The location should be visible now.
Go to it and delete everything inside. (Don’t delete the sdk folder, just the contents
inside it ) -
Go to android sdk manager and select the same location again. The error should vanish.
Happy installation!
In other words, this error only pops up if you had a previous failed installation.
If you’re unable to do it still, hit me up at twitter @Vishma Pratim Das and I will be happy to assist you.
Thanks.

I just installed Android Studio and has the same problem.
Banged my head for a few hours and found the solution — it’s retarded.
So I installed Android Studio but when it asked me for the config folder, I provided the one from my IntelliJ. Well, turns out that stop the Android Studio setup and I had no SDK. Going to their site the SDK is nowhere to be found. It’s not on any of the links from the other answers either.
My solution was to use a different folder for Android Studio. That ran the setup wizard and downloaded the SDK.

Sharing what worked for me in hopes that it helps someone else.
My issue was that my SDK was not installed together with the Android Studio IDE for some reason. How I managed to trigger the SDK installation was by going to File > Settings on Android Studio, then typing «sdk» in the searchbar. If your android sdk location is empty, click on «edit» right next to it and it should immediately prompt installation for your sdk.
Cheers!

The Java SDK for Android is a sophisticated suite of tools for managing, monitoring, profiling, and debugging Java code written in Android Studio. But sometimes as software is unpredictable you might be caught in an error that Android Studio stopped compiling projects and says that it can’t locate the 1.7.0_21 folder. Well, this is exactly what is referred to as a missing Java SDK Path.
How to Fix the Java SDK Path?
There are several methods that can help you resolve this issue, the ones which have the highest score in fixing this problem are mentioned below:
Method #1: For Android Studio Version 4.2 and Above
Navigate to File > Project Structure > SDK Location. Upon navigating there you will find that a tab named “JDK Location”, select that and then you can set the JDK path for the current project on which you’re working.
Image I. Setting Project SDK location in 4.2 & +
Method #2: For Android Studio Version Below 4.2
Chances are that you might be rocking an older version of Android Studio, if yes then
Navigate to File > Project Structure > [Platform Settings] > SDKs
You’ll then need to either update your current SDK setup to make use of the new directory or create a new directory and then adjust the settings in your project to make use of the new directory. This will make it applicable to the present project.
Method #3: Adding a new SDK to Your Android Studio
Sometimes only updating your SDKs won’t allow you to compile projects just because the SDK has lived its life and requires an update to itself. In that scenario, you’ll need to recreate the configurations from 0.
- Navigate to Project Structure > Platform Settings > SDKs and click the “+” button.
- Go to your Android SDK folder and select “Choose” on the pop-up.
- A new pop-up window will open, asking which SDK and JDK you’d want to use. Select any Android SDK and the JDK 1.7.
Note: Change your Project SDK to the one you just established under Project Structure > Project Settings > Project. The name of the SDK should now include the new Java version that you installed.
Method #4: For the Command Line Enthusiasts
If you want to be a Geek and the above methods are just too much GUI for you, you might want to handle the SDK path using the terminal. In order to achieve that using the command line, follow the below commands in the Android Studio’s Terminal
C:Program FilesAndroidAndroid Studiojrebin>java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_76-release" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_76-release-b03) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.76-b03, mixed mode)
then
C:Program FilesAndroidAndroid Studiojreoldjre
and just like that, you’ve achieved the desired result
Note: the ‘oldjre‘ here refers to your old JRE path
Method #5: Using the Embedded SDK
If you are on Android Version 3.2 or older then you’ll be having the option of using the embedded JDK & SDK for your project and that is one of the optimal ways you can fix this issue as Android Studio will handle the management of the services in the Backend!
Navigate to File > Project Structure > JDK Location and Checkmark the box saying “Use embedded JDK (recommended)”.
Image II. Checking the Recommended JDK Location
Method #6: Setting and Viewing SDK using the Studio Project Structure
If all the above-mentioned ways didn’t work out for you, the best you can do is to get the SDK path of another Android Studio Project and then providing that path to your particular project (as in Method #1)
Press Ctrl (Command on Mac) + Alt + Shift + S
Then in the SDK Location tab, you will find your SDK Location, just copy it and paste it in the SDK Location as mentioned in Method #1.

Android SDK is one of the most useful components which is required to develop Android Applications. Android SDK is also referred to as the Android Software Development Kit which provides so many features which are required in Android which are given below:
- A sample source code.
- An Emulator.
- Debugger.
- Required set of libraries.
- Required APIs for Android development with their documentation.
- Tutorials required for Android OS development.
Why There is a Need to Change Android SDK Path?
Android SDK comes itself when we download Android Studio. It downloads when we download our Android Studio. But many times due to some issue in our pc these SDK files may get deleted. And without your Android SDK Android studio is not able to work and we cannot develop any application. Android SDK is the heart of Android studio. We can easily download Android SDK from the android developers’ site, but we have to set the path for this SDK in our Android studio as well to use this SDK.
Now the point that comes here is how we can change the SDK path for our Android application in Android Studio. So in this article, we are going to discuss three different methods to Change Android SDK Path in Android Studio.
Method 1
Step 1: Create a new Project in Android Studio
Navigate to the File > New > New Project and create your new project. The language used for this will not matter as this process will be the same for both java as well as Kotlin.
Step 2: Opening project structure
Navigate to the File > Click on Project structure which is shown in the list and click on the Project structure option. After clicking that option you will get to see the below screen.
Inside the above screen, click on the SDK Location option you will get to see the below screen.
In the above image, you will get to see the current SDK location for your Android Studio. To change this SDK location you have to click on the 3 dots which are being displayed and then select your SDK location folder. After selecting this folder click on the OK option to save your SDK path.
Step 3: Sync your project after adding your SDK path
Now sync your project with Gradle files to check that SDK is working fine. To do this click on File > you will get to see the option as Sync Project With Gradle files option click on that option and sync your project. On successful sync of your project, your SDK location is set perfectly and now you are good to go in developing Android Applications.
Method 2
Step 1: Create a new Project in Android Studio
Navigate to the File > New > New Project and create your new project. The language used for this will not matter as this process will be the same for both java as well as Kotlin.
Step 2: Opening Android Studio Settings
Navigate to the File > Settings option you will get to see below dialog screen. Inside that screen. Click on Appearance and Behavior option > System Settings options and then click on the Android SDK option to get to see the below screen.
Inside this screen, you will get to see your SDK path. You can update your SDK path by clicking on the Edit option. After that select your SDK path, then click on Apply option, and then click on the OK option.
Step 3: Sync your project after adding your SDK path
Now sync your project with Gradle files to check that SDK is working fine. To do this click on File > you will get to see the option as Sync Project With Gradle files option click on that option and sync your project. On successful sync of your project, your SDK location is set perfectly and now you are good to go in developing Android Applications.
Method 3
Step 1: Create a new Project in Android Studio
Navigate to the File > New > New Project and create your new project. The language used for this will not matter as this process will be the same for both java as well as Kotlin.
Step 2: Opening project structure.
Inside your Android Studio in the top right corner, You can get to see the icon below the image for opening the project structure. Click on that option to open your project structure option. You will get to see the below screen. For opening this Project Structure we can also use a shortcut key as:
Operating System |
Shortcut Key |
---|---|
Windows | Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S |
Mac OS | Command + ; (semi-colon) |
Linux | Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S |
After clicking on this option we simply have to follow Step 1 to update our Android SDK.
Inside the above screen, click on the SDK Location option you will get to see the below screen.
In the above image, you will get to see the current SDK location for your Android Studio. To change this SDK location you have to click on the 3 dots which are being displayed and then select your SDK location folder. After selecting this folder click on the OK option to save your SDK path.
Step 3: Sync your project after adding your SDK path
Now sync your project with Gradle files to check that SDK is working fine.

Такая популярная операционная система как Android не может обойтись без мощных и простых средств разработки. И именно здесь Android SDK (Software Development Kit или Набор средств для разработки ПО) показывает себя с лучшей стороны. Сегодня мы установим SDK и посмотрим, что он умеет. Это будет цикл статей о разработке приложений и игр для Android
Подготовка к установке
Android SDK поддерживает большинство современных операционных систем под архитектурой x86 и x86_64, в том числе Windows, многие дистрибутивы Linux и Mac OS X. Также на ПК должен быть установлен Java Development Kit (Java 7 или Java , который обязательно потребуется для многих возможностей SDK, ведь Android неразрывно связан с Java.
Стоит заметить, что для встроенного эмулятора Android необходимо хорошее «железо» на PC, как, в принципе, и для других современных средств разработки.
Установка с помощью Android Studio
Уже долгое время существует Android Studio — официальная IDE (Integrated Development Enviroment) для разработки под Android. Туда уже включено всё необходимое и устанавливается в один клик. Достаточно лишь установить IDE, и вы также сможете использовать все возможности SDK, интегрированные внутри среды разработки.
Скачать Android Studio можно с официального сайта. Там же можно найти много полезных гайдов по работе с Android SDK, но, к сожалению, доступны они исключительно на английском языке.
Установка отдельного пакета
Если вы не рассчитываете использовать такой мощный инструмент как Android Studio или у вас уже есть установленная Intellij IDEA, на основе которой и работает эта среда разработки, то вы можете установить Android SDK отдельно. Однако никаких других преимуществ этот метод установки не даст и рекомендуется воспользоваться предыдущим способом.
Для загрузки отдельного пакета инструментов для разработки без IDE необходимо воспользоваться сайтом Android Developer. Игнорируя все возможные упоминания об Android Studio, спускаемся в самый низ страницы и находим раздел «Get just command line tools» — можно также воспользоваться поиском по странице. После скачивания подходящего пакета для вашей операционной системы, достаточно распаковать в любое удобное для вас хранилище — рекомендуется также указать местоположение SDK в Intellij IDEA (Project Structure > SDK).
Запуск и возможности
Для получения доступа ко всему функционалу Android SDK достаточно запустить пакетный файл android, если вы работаете под Windows, или же в терминале выполнить команду «android» в папке «tools/» вашего SDK для запуска на Linux и MacOS X. Вам будет предложено установить инструменты для разных версий API, чем больше инструментов установлено — тем лучше. Загрузка пакетов может занять много времени в зависимости от вашей системы и скорости интернет-соединения.
Перейдём к описанию основных инструментов:
- Platform-tools включает в себя основные инструменты взаимодействия с Android, такие как ADB, fastboot и systrace. Android Debugging Bridge поможет отследить ошибки в работе приложений на смартфоне, а также выполнять некоторые действия по работе с APK; fastboot, знакомый всем любителям прошивки своих Android-девайсов, работает в паре с ADB и помогает наладить работу устройства ещё до загрузки ОС, а systrace способен анализировать скорость работы процессов в операционной системе;
- Build-tools работают вместе с Platform-tools, но могут быть обновлены отдельно. Сюда входят такие утилиты как ProGuard для защиты ваших APK-файлов, JOBB для работы с расширениями в формате *.obb, и Zipalign, необходимый для оптимизации ваших готовых приложений;
- Кроме того, в SDK предусмотрен продвинутый эмулятор ОС Android, в котором вы сможете протестировать любые приложения и опробовать функции свежих версий Android. Однако для качественной эмуляции необходимо хорошее железо на ПК, также рекомендуется использовать эмуляцию работы x86.
Зачем же нужен Android SDK?
Android SDK — универсальный набор инструментов, который пригодится каждому пользователю смартфона или планшета, работающего под операционной системой Android. Обычный юзер может получить доступ к необходимым логам, восстановить устройство из нерабочего состояния и получить доступ к полноценному эмулятору, тогда как для разработчика это тот самый необходимый минимум, чтобы начать создавать игры и программы для Android.
