Recently I have installed latest android studio 3.1.1 and created new Kotlin demo project but its not working fine. When I open it some aapt2.exe command window open. Please check below screenshot.
Also when I close android studio its hang and not close. I have to force close it via Task Manager.
I have also try it with java code but nothing is worked.
Uninstall Android studio ->
Delete .android folder ->
Clear temp files ->
fix registry error using CCleaner or as you prefer ->
Restart system ->
Reinstall ->
Restart system.
That worked and working fine for me now.
Update : Check whether SDK and android studio version are same. In case of mismatch it may not work.
I have already seen this question.
But that's for Mac OS. I am using windows. Every time I create a new project or try to build/rebuild the project it freezes!! I have installed the latest version(9/10/2016). But things are getting worse. I want to completely remove it and install it as if I would be installing it for the first time. Any help be Appreciated.
To Completely Remove Android Studio from Windows:
Step 1: Run the Android Studio uninstaller
The first step is to run the uninstaller. Open the Control Panel and under Programs, select Uninstall a Program. After that, click on "Android Studio" and press Uninstall. If you have multiple versions, uninstall them as well.
Step 2: Remove the Android Studio files
To delete any remains of Android Studio setting files, in File Explorer, go to your user folder (%USERPROFILE%), and delete .android, .AndroidStudio and any analogous directories with versions on the end, i.e. .AndroidStudio1.2, as well as .gradle and .m2 if they exist.
Then go to %APPDATA% and delete the JetBrains directory.
Also delete the any AndroidStudio* directories that are in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google and %APPDATA%\Google.
Finally, go to C:\Program Files and delete the Android directory.
Step 3: Remove SDK
To delete any remains of the SDK, go to %LOCALAPPDATA% and delete the Android directory.
Step 4: Delete Android Studio projects
Android Studio creates projects in a folder %USERPROFILE%\AndroidStudioProjects, which you may want to delete.
In 2021, If you are looking for uninstall.exe, the latest Android studio version doesn't come with an uninstaller. Download an older version of the Android studio from the Android studio download archive official LINK; you can download Android Studio 4.1.1.
Download the zip files, extract the uninstall.exe from it, and put it in your Android Studio folder; there is no need to install that older version.
UPDATE - 04/14/2022
Looks like the new version comes with unistall.exe now.
Tried on - Android Studio Bumblebee | 2021.1.1 Patch 3 for Windows 64-bit (April 2022)
I was having a problem installing the latest v4.1.2 as it was having an issue where after I start it, it shows my old blank project, so the things I did were:
Caution: Please move your SDK and projects to a separate location before following steps if you haven't. So it might save your time downloading SDKs and stuff.
1- Uninstall old Android Studio completely (from Control Panel -> Programs).
2- Delete this Android Studio folder located at C:\Users\\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Google
3- Delete this Android Studio folder located at C:\Users\\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Google
4- Delete these folders (.android ,.AndroidStudio*, .gradle) located at C:\Users\\<user_name>
After doing all this, I managed to have fresh updated Android Studio v4.1.2
First go to android studio folder on location that you installed it ( It’s usually in this path by default ; C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio, unless you change it when you install Android Studio). Find and run uninstall.exe file.
Wait until uninstallation complete successfully, just few minutes, and after click the close.
To delete any remains of Android Studio setting files, in File Explorer, go to C:\Users\%username%, and delete .android, .AndroidStudio(#version-number) and also .gradle, AndroidStudioProjects if they exist. If you want remain your projects, you’d like to keep AndroidStudioProjects folder.
Then, go to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming and delete the JetBrains directory.
Note that AppData folder is hidden by default, to make visible it go to view tab and check hidden items in windows8 and10 ( in windows7 Select Folder Options, then select the View tab. Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select OK.
Done, you can remove Android Studio successfully, if you plan to delete SDK tools too, it is enough to remove SDK folder completely.
Firstly, uninstall Android Studio from the control panel using program and features.
Later you also need to enable displaying of hidden files and folders and delete the following:
C:/Users/${yourUserName}/AppData/Local/Android
If you do not have an uninstaller, follow the below steps:
Download and install an old version of Android Studio (eg: android-studio-ide-191.5977832-windows.exe aka Android Studio 3.5.2) from the download archives.
Copy (do not cut) and Paste the uninstall.exe from the installed Android Studio folder in your original Android Studio folder. Now, run the uninstall.exe which you just pasted, this will start the uninstall process for your original Android Studio.
After the original Android Studio is uninstalled, proceed to run the uninstaller in the old version of Android Studio that you downloaded.
After the old Android Studio is uninstalled, follow this to completely remove any leftover Android Studio related files, folders etc.
Now your system has no Android Studio.
In my case - Windows 10 Home, for removing previous settings, I had to delete AndroidStudioX from C:\Users\<Your User>\AppData\Roaming\Google as well.
Complementary to the 1st and 2nd upvoted answers, also take a look if anything like Android Studio folder remains at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ to avoid wrong references in future installations.
.android
check this folder in
C:\Users\user
its have an issue and fix it then restart android studio.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/39953746/3116336 is complete answer but you need to delete also %APPDATA%/Local/Google/Android
folder.
latest Android Studio in 2022, March
has an uninstall.exe in the root directory.
For me uninstalling from "Windows Remove Programms View" didn't work, failing with error popup.
But going to the installation directory and just executing uninstall.exe just works perfectly.
I tried multiple times to get a clean install without success.
I found if I still had the AndroidStudioProjects folder then Android would naturally go to my last project I was working on and start to build that project.
I made a copy of that folder and saved my code to the desktop. Then I deleted the AndroidStudioProjects folder and I had the option of a completely fresh install.
This was done after following this to the letter: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39953746/8860848
After installing the Android studio and launching it I am getting this error.
I cannot specify the path to the SDK. I have tried giving the path as :C:\Development\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\" but the path is invalid
Try this:
close this box then
Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager
I encountered this problem when installing Android Studio 3.0.
There was in fact no folder named C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk after I installed Android Studio. I tried installing the Android command line tools at this location, but android studio did not accept this. (Turns out, the command line tools are not the SDK.)
Managed to fix it by doing a complete uninstall of Android Studio, deleting the C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Android folder, deleting any Android Studio settings folders (in my case C:\Users\Your Name\.AndroidStudio2.3 and C:\Users\Your Name\.AndroidStudio2.3). After reinstalling and opening Android Studio, it gave me a dialog to download the SDK.
I can think of 2 possible explanations why this worked for me:
Originally, Android Studio was opening a project straight away, which didn't trigger the "download your sdk" dialog. (This no longer occurred since I deleted my Android Studio settings.)
There was some kind of setting that made Android Studio think I already had the SDK downloaded.
Try this - C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Replace Your Name with the name of your PC.
This problem is usual after you update, or reinstall the Android Studio.. Follow these steps-
* Close all the opened project which is opened by default after you started the Android Studio.. and again open the Android Studio, it will direct you towards re-downloading of SDK components from the net (So be sure to have net connectivity at this point)..
* If above step doesn't work, then restart the PC and open Android Studio again..
Hope it will help..
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
Hope this will work.
I was also stuck with this...i tried everything mentioned above, but could not get through.
Then I was about to uninstall and reinstall the IDE as mentioned above.
When I was about to uninstall, to my surprise, I found Android SDK Tools in control Panel -> Programs and Features, which was the thing I was looking for!
Android SDK Tools in Control Panel -> Programs and features
I didn't know how to find the path of that, because even after searching in my computer, I didn't get it. So, I went on further and clicked on uninstall.
There, I found the path of Android SDK Tools "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\". I did not uninstall anything.
I linked this path in the dialogue box, the error was gone!
Whoever encounters the same error, should look for the "Android SDK Tools" in the programs and features in control panel, and then go for uninstalling the same.
There you will find the path of the tools folder.
Copy and paste that path, and you shall get through.
When installing Android Studio on my Mac I accidentally cancelled the dialog box that would normally have installed the SDK. To fix this I deleted Android Studio from /Applications, and deleted the following folders:
% cd $HOME
% rm -rf Preferences/AndroidStudio3.4
% rm -rf Logs/AndroidStudio3.4
% rm -rf Caches/AndroidStudio3.4
% rm -rf Application\ Support/AndroidStudio3.4
(Adjust the version number for your version.) I then reinstalled Android Studio and let it guide me through the SDK installation process.
In case anyone get to experience the same weird situation as me:
I had installed Android Studio, had projects saved, but for some reason I had to do reinstall Windows (and during that I deleted my "Android-folder" in ".../local". When you do that, you will encounter the exact same pop up.
No worries, close it and even though it says that it is needed, it's not. You just don't have access to the prior projects. When saving the new one, then everything will be OK.
The problem was solved by downloading the SDK again, in my case I had deleted the SDK folder that was in C:\Users\george\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk, because I deleted it then I had to download the SDK
I just reinstalled Android Studio (everything) C:/user/yourName/.androidStudio.4 and C:/user/yourName/.androidStudio.4.
You dont have to delete your projects folder!
In my case, going to the Settings menu in Android Studio, there I could download the SDK (none were installed) through the "edit" button
I got this error when moving a project from one computer to antother, even though it wasn't an Android project and didn't need an Android SDK.
The solution for me was to open the file local.properties and remove the line that says sdk.dir. Hope this can help someone.
All you need to do is close the project opened in android studio. This error occurs when you reinstall Android Studio. The previous project that you have been working on will be opened by default. Select that folder from file explorer and move into different location and then again launch Android Studio. The SDK installation will begin thereafter.
The Reason that why Android Studio can't install/find SDK automatically:
As I tried many times for reinstalling Android Studio, but each time I faced with this SDK popup. I figured out that after installing, Android Studio seeks for project folder automatically (usually located in C:\Users\Username\AppData\AndroidStudioProject) to syn previous settings, gradle, SDK path, Android Studio Settings etc. When I deleted this folder (if you need your previous projects copy it somewhere for latter replacement) the usual installation has been started after clicking on install.
I just encountered this issue when updating my Android Studio after a couple of years of not using it, and the solution ended up very easy:
I exited the window with the SDK prompt and closed the old project it was trying to open. Once the project was closed, the IDE was able to prompt me with the download window, and there SDK download worked!
I am currently using android studio 2.0 but wanted to update it to 2.1 as its been released on the stable channel. Now when I press on "Update & Restart" button ,it downloads the patch and then will exit but wont restart by its own.So I am starting it manually to check if update was successful but it still shows android studio 2.0 and same dialogue "Android studio is ready to update". I did it many times but no success. I am using Linux Ubuntu System 14.04 LTS.
Try the following:
After the patch was downloaded and Android Studio closed, open the terminal
Go to your android studio folder, e.g.
cd ~/android-studio
Go to bin subfolder:
cd bin
Make sure your studio.sh file has run permissions:
chmod +x studio.sh
Run Android Studio from here: ./studio.sh
After that Android Studio will find the patch and install it. Then you may close Android Studio and run it the regular way (whatever way you prefer, I run it from Launcher pad).
I solved this problem. i logged as root user then updated the android 2.0 to 2.1 it worked fine and got updated
I also faced this problem.
In 64 bit machine android studio installed in 2 different version 32bit and 64bit. At the time of update and restart 32bit android studio selected by default.
and when it load 64bit android studio.
To solve this problem please select 64 bit at the time of update and restart.
hope it will work.
As an alternate solution, you can download the Android Studio version that you want to upgrade to directly. For instance, 2.1 is located here:
2.1 # Android Tools
Make sure that you import your old settings. Also, pull your SDK out of the old install folder and point the new installation at it, if necessary. This will ensure consistency across installs.
What you have to do is simple:
Make sure you can run android studio from command line using studio.sh
If you have an open project in android studio go in "File > Close project" and close it
A small window opens up, wait for the notification for the update to appear and click on it
If 3 doesn't work, close android studio, repeat number 1 and 3
Let me know if it works
Start Android studio from /android-studio/bin/studio.sh, and then restart update process
I'm using the most recent Android Studio and today my Mac crashed. After rebooting, I opened Android Studio and now all of my projects are erroring out with the Android URI not being found. They won't build, won't make, nothing. If I create a new Project, Android project is not one of my options, just all the rest of the options.
Is there anything I can do besides remove and reinstall?
I recommend you to Reset your Android Studio instead of fresh installation(At least give a try).
On Windows:
Go to your User Profile Folder - on Windows 7/8 this would be:
[SYSDRIVE]:\Users\[your username] (ex. C:\Users\pyus13)
Inside this there will be a folder named .AndroidStudioPreview (It can be hidden so please check ).
Delete this folder (Better to take a backup before deletion).
This will reset your AS to defaults.
Now Start your Android Studio you will see the start dialog with settings.
Do the following to set your Android sdk path :
Go into Configure → Project Defaults → Project Structure → Project
Add new SDK and referencing to the SDK Folder that you have and then click apply and ok.
Try to open any of your earlier project or create new one and check. try syncing with Gradle after opening project.
For Linux
Depending on your AndroidStudio version, the settings are stored in ~/.AndroidStudio, ~/.AndroidStudio1.1 or ~/.AndroidStudio1.2.
Open a terminal and run the following code:
ls -a | grep Android # See which of those three folders above you have. Then rename each of the settings folders you have with the appropriate mv command:
mv .AndroidStudio .AndroidStudio.bak
mv .AndroidStudio1.1 .AndroidStudio1.1.bak
mv .AndroidStudio1.2 .AndroidStudio1.2.bak
Go to preference > Plugins uncheck the plugins which appear in red colour and recheck it again.
Do apply
Now the issue will get resolved
Resetting Android Studio worked for me!
You can reset studio by deleting .AndroidStudio directory from Users directory.
C:\Users\Abc\\.AndroidStudio
Thanks.
I'd recommend you do a uninstall of Android Studio and then do a clean install. It might be that there are corrupted or locked system files that are causing the issue. Make sure you backup your Android projects onto a USB first - just in case.
I have solved this problem for my latest android studio
Method I ( Unhide the AppData ) :-
1) Show your hidden files from view -> hidden items(check it)
you will see hidden folders & files as light color.
2) Then go to C:\Users\john (instead of john, it should be your user name).
3) Right click on "AppData"
4) Just uncheck the Hidden box
5) Move "sdk" folder from C:\Users\john\AppData\Local\Android to C:\Users\varad\AppData
6) Open android studio, goto Configure-> Project defaults ->Project structure
7) update new path of SDK like C:\Users\john\AppData\sdk
Restart Android Studio.
Method II ( Move your SDK to another location) :-
1) Move "sdk" folder from C:\Users\john\AppData\Local\Android to any folder you want.
2) Then update the SDK path in Android Studio from goto Configure-> Project defaults ->Project structure
3)Restart Android Studio.
:-) Enjoy Android Development.
I go this path:
C:\Users\...YOUR-USER-NAME...\.AndroidStudio3.2\config\disabled_plugins.txt
remove this line:
org.jetbrains.android
then refresh SDK in settings. Works fine now :)
This morning I downloaded android studio 2.1, and tried to create new project unfortunately I can't create new project, and I found this post #pyus13 suggests that to reset android studio, but it can't solve this problem.
And I checked android sdk in \AppData\Local\Android\sdk, saw android-23 in platform folder, with my previous experience with eclipse it is ready for running. A couple of hour I found a way to solve this problem, I download android 6.0, api 23 (SDK platform) with android SDK Manager. Do again for creating new project, it is ok.
Thank
For MAC User
All plugins, SDK setting was correct still faced the problem.
Applied following solution - on MAC
Give read write permission to .android folder
sudo chmod -R 777 .android
