I am new to Android Development and I need help with the installation process with the following error code. I have tried a clean installation of Android Studio many times but the error pops up every time.
Can anyone help?
Here is a temporary solution, skip components downloading when open Android Studio
install android studio.
do not start studio after installation completed.
go to C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin
you will find idea.properties file
write this line at the end of the file disable.android.first.run=true
run android studio
After open android studio you can install needed components from SDK Manager
There are some more solutions on this link which you can try.

I keep getting the error in installing android studio regarding sdk files.
I even tried to run it as administrator again but it could not be resolved
1st Solution
Download java jdk
JAVA JDK:- https://www.oracle.com/in/java/technologies/downloads/
2nd Solution:- open android studio and click on 3 dot in top side and click SDK Manager and Download all the files. :)
I've downloaded Android Studio from the official website, the one for M1 chip (arm).
Basically running it for the first time, the error is the following:
An error occurred while trying to compute required packages
I was searching about it the whole day to figure out a way to make Android Studio work, but that error keeps showing. Not completely sure if it's related to M1 Macbook, as on my Intel one it works as expected.
What I already tried to do:
Installing the command line tools, then placing it on SDK folder (Users/user/Library/Android/sdk). Then added the bin to the PATH (Reference)
After doing that, when executing the sdkmanager on terminal I get the following message Could not find or load main class com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli
Then I searched again and it leaded me to this thread, then as on the answers I tried to rename the folder, then other tries not related. I fell into many links and references that did not work at all.
After that I try to check what happens if I click on New Project, then the following is shown:
The Android SDK location cannot be at the filesystem root
As the message indicates, the issue is The Android SDK location cannot be at the filesystem root, so I searched again about it
I looked into that and got to a few links, for example this one and this one. Before doing that search I clicked on the Edit button, which lead me to the Android SDK to be updated/installed (Nice!), so I had to delete the content I had on Android folder (inside Library) and clicked next...then, I got the same message An error occurred while trying to compute required packages.
Then I thought "ok, maybe if I change the SDK location", so I changed to ../Documents/sdk, which ended up in the same result
Seems like no matter what I do, it ends up showing up that same message.
When I run java -version that's what I see:
java version "1.8.0_311"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_311-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.311-b11, mixed mode)
Did anyone have the same issue? Am I doing something wrong? Not sure how to proceed from here, despite of the Android Studio version I download it's always the same result.
Any help is appreciated.
This is what solved it for me on my M1.
Go to Android Studio Preview and download the latest Canary build for Apple chip (Chipmunk). Don't worry this is just to get through the initial setup.
Unpack it, run it, let it install all the SDK components, accept licenses, etc as usual.
Once it's done, simply close it and delete it.
Now when you start your stable Android Studio (Arctic Fox) you should not see the error.
I tried over a dozen 2021 stable and Canary builds from https://developer.android.com/studio/archive and couldn't get any of them to work.
This is the only thing I could find that worked:
Download, unpackage and run Android Studio 3.6.3 android-studio-ide-192.6392135-mac.zip from here.
Proceed through the initial setup and let it download and install the SDK. Ignore any errors at the end.
Delete this version and open the stable Android Studio like normal.
You can now proceed through setup!
I also faced this issue a couple days and I changed my mind to not use Android Studio. And It's fixed!
My alternative option is to download IntelliJ community edition and install Android SDK to your machine.
Image for IntelliJ Download Page
After (IntelliJ) installation is complete,
You need also to create new project, select android then download SDK. (thanks for #SteveRoger 's comment)
then open Android Studio again and follow its setup wizard. It will show that my machine has been already installed Android SDK and it can run perfectly at this time.
Hope this is an alternative solution for you.
Have a great day.
I solved the problem with these steps:
Install the old Android Studio 3.6.3 (find the old Android Studio at https://developer.android.com/studio/archive)
Install the Android SDK
Overwrite the installation with the Apple Chip version of Android Studio
I had the same problem with my MacBook air(m1 chip) as you mentioned.
How did I solve it?
Just download the IDE - Intellij IDEA and create a new project, select Android Project and there download Android SDK, now you can install android studio again and the sdk is installed.
I've also had this exact same issue when downloading Android Studio 7.0.3. Here's what helped me.
Download the command line tools, place them in the SDK folder (e.g., on mac: /Users/user/Library/Android/sdk), and then add the bin folder to the PATH.
Install the latest platform: in a terminal, execute ./sdkmanager "platforms;android-31"
Next up execute this command ./sdkmanager --channel=3 emulator (this switches the channel from stable=0 to canary=3 )
Open Android Studio, and go to the SDK Manager (Appearance and Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK)
Click on "Edit", and then select the sdk folder. Then "Next" > "Next" > "Finish".
Now restart Android Studio and everything should work
I had the exact same error as OP. Follow what Art Fedorychak mentioned, it worked for me as well. It seems like the current stable build of the Apple M1 android studio version doesn't actually initialize an SDK if one doesn't already exist, but it seems to be able to update and or / initialize one that does as long as the same folder is being referenced, so we just need to use a working SDK for M1 on the initial run and then revert back to the stable AS
This is what solved it for me:
Download & install IntelliJ IDEA. https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/#section=mac
Open IntelliJ IDEA and create New Android Project
Download sdk success
Open Android Studio & checked it worked
My solution to this problem is simply to put the SDK in another location. For myself, I put the SDK folder to subfolders in Documents. The SDK download will initiate.
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 used Visual Studio 2015 to develop mobile app with Cordova. Before I upgraded to Windows10, I was using Windows 7 and it worked perfectly fine. After I've upgraded to Windows10, whenever I open a Cordova project or create a Cordova project the Visual Studio hangs (not responding).
I have tried to reinstall the Visual Studio but it still hangs.
Anyone has faced this problem before?
Thanks
Here is the solution for this problem in VS 2015. This issue if you have Windows 10 and latest updates in VS 2015 including latest type script installation.
1) Open command prompt as administrator.
2) Navigate to the following folder path:
cd "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache"
3) write the following command to find out vs_edition.exe file:
dir vs*exe /s /b
4) copy the full path that contains your vs edition exe from the screen.
5) write the following command:
"C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{GUID}\vs_enterprise.exe" /modify /installselectableitems Javascript
6) VS installer will start, click on modify and then update. no need to change any features selection.
7) Wait until the installer finishes.
8) From the command prompt, navigate to the following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE
9) Run the following commands:
devenv /updateconfiguration
devenv /clearcache
Below screenshot shows the full commands set.
Now, you will be able to open VS 2015 and create cordova apps.
This is a known issue, and the solution is mentioned in the following link.
I still had few more issues with the Blank Cordova Project which would simply not build once the hanging issue was fixed. I'll share my experience here to help others.
After recovering from the VS.Net2015 hanging I was still getting
"Error MSB3073 The command "platforms\android\cordova\clean.bat" exited with code 1. BlankCordovaApp7 C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\ApacheCordovaTools\vs-mda-targets\Microsoft.MDA.FileMirroring.targets 354"
I tried reinstalling the Android Studio again and found that it was not working, and the issue was: I had installed a 32 bit Java SDK on 64Bit OS. After In installed the 64Bit JDK and correcting the Path variable to point to this directory, I was able to start the Android Studio.
Now my Blank Cordova project was still not compiling with an error
'MySQL' is not recognized as an internal or external command, BlankCordovaApp7 C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\ApacheCordovaTools\vs-mda-targets\Microsoft.MDA.FileMirroring.targets 287
This was an interesting one, looks like its an issue with MySQL, in the PATH variable there were some & within the path. I used "" to surround those path
Now its compiling and also able to start the Ripple.
Hope it helps someone as it took me more than 2 weeks to fix.

Today , solved for me with Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova Update 2 for VS2015 Enterprise & Windows 8.1. ;-)
I think there are some updates for Visual Studio 2015. I reinstalled it and it is working now.
Here is what I did:
Uninstall the Visual Studio 2015 using the installer (vs-community.exe) from https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx
Install Visual Studio 2015 using the same installer(vs-community.exe) and choose Typical Installation
After the installation is done, run the installer (vs-community.exe) again and choose Custom Installation and choose to install Apache Cordova
Then I am able to open and build Cordova project
Not sure if this helps.
In my case with VS2015, the problem was about missing SDK build tools for Android. The lack of information is due to the fact that Visual Studio does not show all the build information by default. Once more information is shown, we could see issues with third party dependency issues like Android build tool. There are a couple of ways to get more information during a build.
MSBuild build output verbosity
Dependency checker on the Cordova tools
Both of these are available from the tools menu. For more information see this post:
http://www.ozkary.com/2016/01/visual-studio-2015-apache-cordova.html
hope it helps.
I downloaded android studio for ubuntu 12.04. but i don't know how to put JAVA_HOME and how to open studio for developing apps. please help me.
You can open your Android Studio by navigating to main-directory/bin through Terminal and then on the next line open studio.sh using the command ./studio.sh . For example if you installed Android Studio in Downloads, you have to write in Terminal cd Downloads/android-studio/bin and after confirming the second line should be ./studio.sh. I think in Android 0.8(beta) they still didn't fix that issue where you can't open your Studio through the icon.
