I am not able to check any of these checkboxes
Android SDK path error is showing up below the SDK path box. First, try to fix it up. If it still does not help you please go to the
sdk folder -> AndridSDK -> android-sdks -> tools -> android.bat
Double click on that it will open old school type screen like following
Changing SDK location to C:\dev\sdk solved it, Moved all the contents from old SDK location to this new location.
All the problems where created since i had a space between my windows user name.
Any other location would be fine too for SDK, as long as there are no spaces in the file location path I guess.
I am stuck on this screen
Can't perform any further action. Since I already downloaded an SDK, I downloaded this version
Actually android studio try to download all the components of sdk, those which you don't have.
So, it can take a lot time, instead you can disable "Downloading Components" at startup:
Go to the installation directory of Android Studio.
There you will find a folder named "bin".
Inside this folder there is a file named "idea.properties".
Open this file and add the following line to the end of the file:
disable.android.first.run=true
What this will do is disable the check that Android Studio performs on first run and decides to download all that stuff.
If it asks to save the file at some different place instead of overwriting the original one, please check the access permissions to the file.
Hope this will help you.
Remove Android Studio settings dirs for re-run Setup Wizard.
I my case I removed both
C:\Users\bieli\.AndroidStudio4.0
and
C:\Users\bieli\.android
Have you specified custom path to SDK in previous step?? if you do not download the SDK you have to go through custom settings and then specify path to SDK. you are also needed to configure the path to SDK in your environment variables, if you are using window system.
What I found reason for this problem, my SDK was corrupted or damaged. My drive were crashed and I have recovered files by recovering tool, that's why files are get damaged and SDK was not working properly.
Then I redownloaded SDK and its running fine.
I have Eclipse and android studio in my PC. For Eclipse and android studio i am using same sdk.
But today i have updated my android studio to 1.0 beta and by mistake i have select wrong configuration for the android studio, that's why it has download new sdk to another location.
Now, I have two android sdk at different location.
One at C:/some_directory/sdk (Which have new packages)
and another at D:/some_directory/android_sdk (which have old packages)
Now, both have different packages downloaded. I don't want to download it again. So what i want is, i want to copy the new sdk contain to old one to get all packages in one place (Old place). So, is it possible to do that? or i must have to update old packages to get it effected by new packages?
Please let me know for this thing so that i can update my old sdk and start work on same.
You can manually set SDK location in Android Studio:
Project Structure -> SDK Location -> Choose your SDK folder
And in Eclipse:
Window -> Preferences -> Android -> SDK Location
Before do anything it's safe to keep backup copy of both sdk..
After that..
in OLD_SDK directory copy content from NEW_SDK directory
and now use this "OLD_SDK" path in both version..
Yes you can do it like this.. Hope it helps..
I just download android studio, set it up and installed everything from the sdk.
i noticed now that my sdk location is on this path: c:\users\myname\appdata\... that location is hidden, so i have to show the hidden folders to access it.
should I move that folder to inside the android studio folder?
and what should I do in order to tell the android studio that the sdk folder has been changed, or the android studio will know that itself? and promote me to set the new location?
If you would like easier manual access to the files of the SDK, yes you should change it. Just move it to a location you prefer and when you launch android Studio it will notice that the default SDK location has been destroyed, so it will ask you to tell it where the SDK is, just tell it the location of the SDK.
When the downloading is finish,it comes a warning:"The Android SDK folder can no longer be inside the application folder.Please move it to a different location such as your home folder.When the IDE restart it will prompt you to enter the new location......"
And I restart it and choose a different loaction,but it didn't work.
"The Android SDK folder can no longer be inside the application
folder.Please move it to a different location such as your home
folder.When the IDE restart it will prompt you to enter the new
location"
Open the folder where you put your android studio, on Mac is (Applications/Android\ Studio.app/) and on Windows is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\android-studio\sdk, and move the sdk folder you find inside in another location. After you moved it in another location, press the retry button.
Cut sdk folder from (This is default location, you may have installed it somewhere else)
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio
and paste it somewhere else then try to update.
Once it get updated then set the path your sdk in studio.
From Android Tools Project Site
To proceed, you should open up a file explorer or finder window, go to
the Android Studio installation (e.g. /Applications/Android
Studio.app) and move the sdk/ folder over to a different location,
such as your home directory. Once done, press Retry to finish
installing the patch. The reason this is necessary is two-fold: First,
we have made a lot of improvements to make the patch updater more
accurate, and in order for installation signatures to match, you
cannot have non-application folders inside the application directory.
Second, placing the SDK folder inside the application directory was
probably not a good idea to begin with: this folder should typically
be writable and in a directory with a lot of extra diskspace, such
that users can easily download and install additional libraries,
system images and so on. We are doing some work on the installer side
to make this easier to set up.
Grab sdk folder from
C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio\sdk
and paste it somewhere else like C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio
and start the update.
Then it will ask you to put the path. and its done
