Android Studio SDK is missing - android

I had a USB connection problem when I debug and updated BIOS then, the laptop had problem with drive so, I needed to recover it. So, I recovered it with removing all the applications and just kept my personal files.
And I downloaded and installed Android Studio again, and SDK missing problem occurred like below:
I can't see 'SDK' when I install Android Studio from here. So, I can't select any.
I tried with SDK Manager. I can't install any versions with "Your Android SDK is missing, out of date, or corupted." error.
I tried Update. But nothing changed. (Updated to 3.3.1, but failed to Sync SDKs ERROR.)
Some people on Stack-overflow suggested to download SDK separately, but their links just show Android Studio installer, which I already installed. Maybe the links were so old.
"C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk" does not exists.
I uninstalled Android Studio include User setting and reinstalled it.(There is no such thing that I can select previous version kind of thing.) But the result is the same.

TL;DR This is sometimes caused by Windows registry settings retained with the current AndroidStudio project. To fix, just startup Android Studio and then close the current project (File -> Close Project). If this was the problem, AS will now go into a long update and restart cycle to repair itself, but will end with success.
I also recommend that you then change AS settings to not open the last project on Startup (Settings -> System Settings -> Reopen projects on startup)
Windows 10, Android Studio v3.6 and v4.0.
This one drove me nuts! I had the same problem - my SDK seemed to be corrupt so I did a full Uninstall (v3.6) and Install (4.0) of Android Studio and when Android Studio started up I got the same message Android SDK is missing.
The SDK Manager in Tools wasn't working.
I went to the link and there was nothing to download the SDK. So I installed the file which looked a bit like the SDK, commandlinetools-win-6514223_latest.zip, unzipped, and then tried to use the missing SDK dialog to include it in AS, and no joy.
BUT - I noticed that after an uninstall and fresh install Android Studio still came up with the last project I was working on so I guessed it must be something in the windows registry (rather than AS settings). I closed that project and AS suddenly popped up a dialog to install the SDK!
After a big download and install, Android Studio returned with the SDK (and SDK manager) all functioning!
So - just startup Android Studio and then close the current project (File -> Close Project)!
How I did a complete re-install.
Uncheck the "Keep Settings" (or similar) option in the Uninstall dialog, but export your settings first (File -> Export Settings). I found it easy to: Export settings; Complete Uninstall; Download and Install; Import Settings;. But, or course, there were several massive downloads. Still don't know why the last open file came up after the fresh install. It's probably in the registry, so, if there are still problems then you'll have to clear AS from the registry as well. Which sounds painful.

If android sdk is deleted, go to :
SDK manager -> edit -> next ..

I solved this problem with connecting android-sdk folder in C drive.
I reinstalled my OS. But hopefully, I kept my personal folders. So, I could find that folder.
However, If you don't have SDK folder, you may need to install SDK by yourself.

Android Studio 4.0 installer does not install SDK

I hope that someone can help me with this. I'm working with UE4 and in order to compile for Android I need to install Android Studio v4.0
When I install it, it says that I don't have the SDK (it should be downloaded by the same installer as I read)
Step 1
Then when I click on Next, it says that I do have the SDK (which is wrong, the folder doesn't even exists as you can see here)
Step 2
Finally it throws an error and the Studio keeps installed but not the SDK.
Step 3
When I run Studio SDK Manager option in the lower right menu does nothing when I click on it.
So I tried everything. Installing an SDK manually. Creating the folder. Doing a full uninstall, a deep clean of all "Android" related entries in the registry. Deleting manually all the folders that Android Studio Uninstaller left in app data, local, roaming, and nothing.
I don't want to reinstall widows just to try if that mess of installer decides to do a proper clean installation without errors. Any suggestion? I would appreciate it so much!
Regards,
Roman
What do I expect? Just to install it with the SDK and have it working. Just that.

Android Studio SDK Installation Failed

I am trying to install Android Studio in Mac OS 10.12.3
I downloaded Android Studio v2.3 for mac.
It installs successfully, but when setting up for the first time, it always shows this error.
An error occurred while trying to compute required packages.
On clicking finish, i get
Failed to determine required packages
When i try to open SDK Manager, all options are disabled and it shows [this][3]. Even if i click on set sdk location, it gives me the same error as before.
I searched a lot in stack overflow and tried many suggestions, but nothing worked till now.
Things i tried:
Changed proxy settings, and added *.dl.google.com, *.dl-ssl.google.com in bypass proxys.
In android studio preferences, changed it to 'Auto Detect Proxy Settings'
Disabled Tunnelblick (i use it for VPN).
Deleted ~/.android everytime before trying
Changed permission to selected SDK folder to 777
Tried to run installer with sudo
Different SDK installer location
Once you've failed the install, click Finish (I believe twice) to get to the Android SDK launcher. Click on Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Updates and change the Update Channel to "Canary Channel".
Close out of the SDK and relaunch the Android Studio. It should go forward w/o issue.
Ok, after a lot of search, and asking for help, i found something. Maybe it can help someone else.
I still didn't figure out what was the problem, but i got a workaround.
Since android studio couldn't install SDK, i used homebrew to install android-sdk separately, and then linked that folder as ANDROID_HOME and then set that path in Android Studio SDK, and it worked.
There was some more problems i faced in updating SDK Tools, but updating from command line did the trick.
Now all works fine.

Android Studio Not Including SDK

I'm trying to setup Android Studio on a new install of Mac OS X Yosemite. I downloaded the Android Studio Beta v0.8.14 from here: https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html and upon launching it complained about not having an SDK (although the download page indicates it should include the SDK). I tried searching after installing for the SDK and can't find it (a few other posts indicate /Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk but that location doesn't exist). Where is the SDK installed and what is required to set it up?
Go to the SDK Manager and click Edit... next to the field for the location of the SDK. Then an "SDK Setup" window should display. There you can download the SDK.
Edit: This answer is deprecated as Android Studio seems to bundle everything since a while already.
Old answer
It seems the android-studio-bundle version is no longer available in the download page (instead there are only android-studio-ide). When you start Android Studio, it won't let you create a new projet until you configure the SDK location.
That means you have to download the SDK separately here, extract it somewhere, and configure it on Configure->Project Defaults->Project Structure. After that, the SDK Manager icon will be enabled and you can download the tools you want.
I had the same problem on Windows. After I re-installed it a few times, I found that the SDK was installed but hidden in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk.
Information for Windows
For some reason, which I have no time to investigate, Android seems to provide, currently, the IDE and the SDK separately, while in the Dev Webpage says the opposite.
This is the "complete" (false!) tool I have just downloaded: android-studio-ide-171.4443003-windows.exe (SDK is missing here, note the "ide" in the file name).
And this is the real complete tool I had downloaded few months ago, from the same place...: android-studio-bundle-162.3871768-windows.exe
Note that this last one has the "bundle" in the file name.
Please, download the bundle (IDE+SDK) from here:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/install/2.3.1.0/android-studio-bundle-162.3871768-windows.exe?hl=ko
I want to suppose (¿?) that similar link you can find for Linux or macOS just Googling for it.
Hope this helps!
It worked like this for me
Downloaded the Android Studio
Install Android Studio
Open Android Studio after installation.
You will get a dialog box to import settings if you already have Intellij installed on your machine. Say "Do not Import". Otherwise continue to next step.
It will ask you in the dialog box to pre-configure such as theme, path etc.
Just click next next...and then Finish. You will see the SDK tool will start downloading.
After installation is finished. You can find it in this path: C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
If you have ever installed Android Studio before and then removed it, it won't reinstall the SDK automatically (speculation: some Windows setting somewhere).
The solution is starting Android Studio and then
File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Restore Default Settings
This will wipe any custom settings you don't have at this point and trigger the SDK install
What Pablo wrote is misleading.
This is the "complete" (false!) tool I have just downloaded:
android-studio-ide-171.4443003-windows.exe (SDK is missing here, note
the "ide" in the file name).
Yes, it is IDE only, but after you install this IDE and first time run it, SDK will be downloaded automatically. So there is no need to download some outdated bundles. Just use default "green button" on https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
I'm using Ubuntu, and had previously installed Android Studio. It was using too much space, so I deleted it. Now when I downloaded it and started ./studio.sh, it found my previous installation configuration directory and asked to import from there. I did, and then this problem occurred.
I put the directory .Android Studio 3.3 in the trash and restarted ./studio.sh, and it imported the SDK automatically for me. That was good, because I couldn't find it where it was supposed to be according to the dialog box. The 3.3 above is from the version of Android Studio I was installing.
in my case, my country is forbidden from google, and my PC's time zone was set by my counrty.
after I change my timezone to another country my problem solved and android studio download SDK and nkd easily
Re-install studio. If ANDROID_HOME is set to custom location then it will install sdk there else it will install SDK in C:\Users<user name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Note:this is a temporary fix
If you have Eclipse then you can use that SDK for emulation.
Just run the sdk manager and emulate a version of android. Then while you are asking for emulating something ie while running code it will show your emulator as online and you can even use it.
Hope this helps you.
All the Best...

Error: This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 22.6.1 or above

I have installed adt version 22.6.1 already 2 days ago. It was working fine. Suddenly, When I open eclipse today, it keeps showing me following error:
This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 22.6.1 or above. Current version is 22.2.1.v201309180102-833290. Please update ADT to the latest version.
Here is screenshot of my eclipse's Android SDK Manager :
I tried with following steps to resolve my issue as discussed in this Link
Help | Install new software
Select the ADT update site (there are two, one with http:// and one with https://. If one doesn't work, try the other.
Select the developer tools section and press next.
You should see a dialog that says This software is already installed, an update will be performed instead. Clicking OK will lead to 22.6.1 being installed.
But unfortunately it didn't work for me.
Here is a screenshot I am attaching which shows the error I am getting while updating the tools.
How can I get rid of it?
I have solved this issue yesterday.
Follow the steps :
Help -> Install New Software -> Add -> (Give any name suppose NewUpdate) -> add this url : https://dl-ssl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2 -> OK
Now it will list the available updates, which should ideally be adt 20.x.x
Select the list items Let it be installed. Eclipse will restart and Its done.
I hope this will helpful for you :)
Yet, if someone is facing this issue, Then follow steps below:
download new stand alone SDK from android's developer site
Close eclipse if it is opened and copy new downloaded sdk in the same location where your already existing old sdk is. Must replace conflict files and keep rest.
No need to delete old sdk. Copying as in step 2 will update your Android Developer Toolkit version to 22.6.1 or above which is required and will keep already downloaded APIs.
Now start your eclipse, and the error will be gone forever. :)
if someone will have trouble doing so, leave me a comment, will try to guide.
I managed to resolve it by doing the following:
Downloaded latest ADT (Win x64)
Deleted my old ADT install (It got bugged when I simply tried to overwrite the existing files) - see this google issue
Copied the zip file to C:\ (since it was complaining about too long filenames while unpacking)
Unpacked to my ADT install folder.
Ran updates and SDK manager updates.
Now it's working, but I lost my pretty Eclipse theme. Oh, and the target adt is not being resolved, a problem for another topic.
Just delete the existing ADT and install new version of ADT.generally this problems occurs
when you update SDK using below link.
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
The ADT Bundle on developer.android.com seems to me as out of date.
I fixed the same problem by downloading eclipse (Java EE was my choice, but you can choose your flavor) and Installing the Eclipse Plugin
this steps solve my problem:
go to Help -> Install New Software.
in the bottom box, click What is already installed? text.
then you will see Eclipse Installation Details box, please Uninstall all conflicts software, in my case I uninstall the following software:
Android DDMS
Android Development Tools
Android Hierarchy Viewer
Android Native Development
Android Traceview
Tracer for OpenGL ES
when uninstall complete, please restart your Eclipse.
after your Eclipse open, please follow again these steps:
go to Help -> Install New Software.
in Work with box, select or add {ADT Plugin - https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse}.
then check all available software.
click Next > to install newest software.
I hope this helps you :)
I use OSX and facing the problem for 2 days.
I solved the problem by following the steps below:
-Download ADT Bundle from https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
-Help -> Install New Software
-Write https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ then install Developer tools
-Restart eclipse and raised the error below:
Android SDK content Loader has encountered a problem.parseSdkContent failed
java.lang.NullPointeException
-Delete .android folder under user profile. Restart eclipse
No errors and 22.6.1 is installed.
For those who tried everything but didn't get any positive result. I did the following and it worked:
Uninstall the ADT by helping from following link:
Uninstalling Android ADT
Now you can follow the install new software to add ADT to your eclipse. This way you won't get any conflict since you uninstalled old version.
I currently have Eclipse and ADT installed in the same directory as
F:\eclipse
\eclipse\
\sdk\
I downloaded and installed the latest ADT to
C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk
I then copied the contents of the C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk into the F:\eclipse\sdk\ folder, and let it merge all folders and overwrite everything.
Now I have 22.6.1 and I don't have to re-download all the platform stuff again.
Today me and one of my friends faced the same problem, so I have tried many things like restarting eclipse, checking updates, etc. but none was working for me.
Then I found a solution from Here and it's working as a charm for me and also for my friend.
Follow the steps here:
Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install New Software.
Click Add, in the top-right corner.
In the Add Repository dialog that appears, enter "ADT Plugin" for
the Name and the following URL for the Location:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Click OK.
If you have trouble acquiring the plugin, try using "http" in the Location URL, instead of "https" (https is preferred for security reasons).
In the Available Software dialog, select the checkbox next to
Developer Tools and click Next.
In the next window, you'll see a list of the tools to be downloaded.
Click Next. Read and accept the license agreements, then click
Finish.
If you get a security warning saying that the authenticity or
validity of the software can't be established, click OK.
When the installation completes, restart Eclipse.
The "Install new Software" under help in Eclipse will NOT work because it conflicts with ver#22.
I just downloaded the new Eclipse bundle from:
Get the Android SDK - google site, extracted it in a new folder ant it is done.
It is working smoothly, no problems.
Few tips to save you time:
Backup your workspace (just in case) - personally didn't use this back.
Once you open the new eclipse.exe it will ask you to select a workspace - just brows to your ols workspace and it will import all your projects (no problems).
In order to save time of download and install of the SDK again, I Cut & Paste the OLD SDK library from the previous bundle directory to the new one (Close your new Eclipse first).
When you re-open Eclipse, you may receive an error message saying that Eclipse can't find the SDK directory. It will ask you to open "Preferences". Once open, browse to the new SDK directory (the one that you just copied). Doing this will save you hours of re-installing all the SDK updates that you did on the previous Eclipse.
Have fun, it is really not a big deal.

Android ADT Plugin doesn't show up in Eclipse

I'm using Windows 7 and installed the 64 bit version of Eclipse 3.5.2. I then installed the Android ADT plugin, but when I try to configure it in the Windows > Preferences dialog, the Android Plugin doesn't show up in the left pane. Instead I see DDMS. This prevents me from specifying the location of the Android SDK (unless there is another way) to give me the appropriate templates and such.
Someone posted a fix to this that includes setting the permissions of Eclipse, but that didn't work for me. I tried installing the Android Plugin from both online installation (thru the URL install) and the offline Archive method.
If you're running Windows Vista or 7, make sure you right-click Eclipse and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. I literally spent six hours figuring this out, and this was what fixed it.
Dear people from the future:
I had roughly the same problem in linux, except that i didn't see anything at all but vanilla eclipse after installing. by combining both previous answers i got it to work:
start eclipse with sudo eclipse -clean, install the plugins and restart eclipse. the plugins showed up including the welcome screen that's supposed to be there.
after that it should work when running as regular user as well.
works for both the android sdk and the gwt sdk. (and probably other eclipse plugins)
Remove the plugin, then restart as follows:
eclipse -clean
Now try reinstalling the ADT from the online installation
For users having similar problem and not luck with other solutions:
I have windows XP but had same problem. I realized that I had JDK5/bin folder in my PATH environment variable (though my JDK_HOME was pointing to JDK6), as soon as I modified the PATH to replace bin of JDK5 with JDK6, the Android buttons on eclipse (after restart with -clean) along with Android option in Preferences & New Project showed up. (Weird eh!)
Also, consider to install the bundle android installation having eclipse with pre-configured Android SDK if a new eclipse installation doesn't matter to you
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/bundle.html
The above answers do not confront the heart of the problem. There is a feature in Windows 7 that prevents downloaded files from direct access of local files. All of the state is perfectly maintained in the Eclipse workspace instance. The problem is easily resolved by doing the following:
Find the "Eclipse" executable
Right-click on it.
Click "Properties".
Select the "General" tab.
Look for -> Security: "This file came from another computer and might be blocked..."
Click Unblock.
This is a much better solution than uninstalling and reinstalling the ADT or Eclipse which can be a pain.
