I've just formatted and installed a fresh windows 10. Next, I downloaded Android Studio and didn't see the Android SDK option to install.
Android_Studio_Install_Option
I installed it nevertheless. Naturally, after I opened Android Studio, it opened a window saying that it needs Android SDK to work properly. I went to Android Studio homepage again, and downloaded
SDK Command Line
Extracted it to c:\program files\android . I opened Android Studio again and tried to pinpoint the tools folder inside c:\program files\android\tools as the location of SDK and received this warning:
not valid home for SDK
I typed CMD with administrator rights, entered the tools folder, and executed android update sdk and it downloaded some files and wrote after a while repositores.cfg could not be loaded.
I am out of options now. I need the SDK to compile ! I can't find an offline install on internet. How can Android Studio be installed without the SDK ? I do not understand... and before you ask, there's no android folder on c:\users\my_user\AppData\local ...is there a bug on the latest Android Studio install program? I can't have SDK already installed because this is a fresh install of windows 10. Help on this matter will be much aprecciated.
If you can open Android Studio then go to Tools --> Android --> SDK manager and you should be able to install or uninstall SDKs from there
I had similar problem. I had settings imported from my previous Android Studio installation and my Android SDK Location was set to a folder which was empty. I couldn't figure out how to download new Android SDK but after clicking "Edit" next to "Android SDK Location" (in Default Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Setttins > Android SDK) Android Studio opened a dialog box where I could choose to install/update my SDK or just selected components of it.

I just restarted my Windows 10 machine to install some updates, and afterward I started getting this error in Visual Studio:
Error Xamarin.Android for Visual Studio requires Android SDK.
Please install it or set Android SDK path on Tools->Options->Xamarin->Android Settings menu. 0
Which I thought was weird, since I'd never run into any issues with my Android SDK before. So I went to Tools->Android to open the SDK manager, but all the options were grayed out and not selectable. Here's a screenshot:
So I did a little research, and this post told me to manually start my SDK manager with the .exe file. So I searched my files for the SDK manager, but when I clicked to open it, I got this error message:
The item that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved.
Would you like to remove this shortcut?
And I got the same error for the Uninstall Android SDK Tools and AVD Manager shortcuts. So it seems that all my Android SDK files were for some reason deleted during my Windows updates.
Then I noticed that under Visual Studio Tools->Options->Xamarin->Android, the "Android SDK Location" was empty. Screenshot:
So then I downloaded Android Studio from the official site, found the location to the .exe file, and then copy-and-pasted the path into the "Android SDK Location" field, and clicked "OK". But the field wasn't saved. No matter what I do, when I open Options, the "Android SDK Location" field is always empty.
I have no idea how to proceed. Anyone have any ideas?
UPDATE
I ran Visual Studio Installer, clicked Modify, and under "Individual Components", it tells me that I already have the latest Android SDK setup (API level 25) installed. Do I need to install something other than that? Screenshot:
Better to Update Visual studio from Visual studio Installer
When you Load Visual Studio Installer, select repair option...
it will fix all issues...
First, Android SDK Location path is Android SDK path not .exe file path.
Second, check the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk which is default path to store Android SDK by Visual Studio to see whether it exists. In my computer like this:
If it doesn't exists, it maybe have been deleted by your computer update process.
Why the "Android SDK Location" field is always empty is because the path is wrong.
You can also get Android SDK path with the Android Studio which you have downloaded:
Android Stuido -> File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK, then copy-and-pasted the Android SDK Location path to Visual Studio. Find it like this in Android Studio:
OS : Antergos (Linux)
The problem here is the missing Android SDK, I can not install it from either android-studio-2.2 or AUR.
When I tried to install it from the Android SDK, it does not allow me to check the Android SDK Platform for download
Assuming that Android SDK is already installed I proceed to click next only to be met with this message which confirms that an Android SDK is installed. I then tried to start a project which the program in turn throw an error saying that the Android SDK is not installed. I then check the settings and found that the Android SDK Location is not set. I google for the location of default Android SDK location, which is $HOME/Android/sdk, which does not exist on my machine. The only conclusion I can make is that Android SDK is not installed on my machine. I tried to install it from android-studio-2.2's GUI but it does not let me tick it while saying that it is installed. I then tried to install the Android SDK from the AUR, which returns 'package filename is not valid'.
I tried installing android-studio-2.2 from both AUR and the official android site, neither let me download Android SDK.
What might be the problem? Is it Antergos? Could it be that the default install path is different than many other path on the internet?
You need to reset the older SDK and Android Studio configuration by going to the:
/home/brandon/.. directory
and deleting .AndroidStudio2.2 and Android folder. Make sure you have enabled hidden directory visibility. This will reset old Android Studio setup and start over everything from the beginning.
In Eclipse IDE I am trying to connect Android SDK to Eclipse.
I installed ADT plugin by,
Help - > Install new Software https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
Then installed SDK by Windows - > preferences , Android SDK was also installed, but I don't see the "Android Application" in the menu as shown in screenshot. Also I don't see the "Android" option that should be available in the top right corner(as shown in the screenshot).
My Questions
Have I installed the ADT and configured Android SDK properly ?
Why am I unable to run the Android application ?
Please let me know if further details are needed.
You have to add a run configuration, then there will be displayed this added configuration.
Edit:
After installing the Android plugin in eclipise I needed to reimport the project, then everything worked fine.
Have you set your Android SDK path in Windows -> Preferences yet? that should be first step.
If you have already done that, then goto Help -> Install New Software and click on Already installed link. Check whether you can see ADT installed in the list of installed packages?
I am using ADT with Eclipse on MacOSX. Yesterday, after I installed some updates via the Android SDK manager, the IDE no longer recognizes the SDK. In the SDK, the update shows being installed with a red mark.
After I install the SDK build-tools 17. Still not work in ADT
The sdk path is correct, I can open sdk manager from menu of eclipse. BTW, when I open eclipse it display a message like this, but nothing when I press check for updates
This mostly occurs because the IDE is incapable of finding the path where the android SDK is installed. Check if the path set in your IDE is the correct path, try setting that manually by going to
Window - Preferences - Android - SDK Location and setup SDK path.
then go to:
Window > Preferences > General > Startup and shutdown: Check "Android development toolkit"
& restart eclipse from File menu.
It's new update of Android SDK manager to indicate installed platforms.. Nothing to worry about that. Update Android build tool 17 also.Surely it will work.
i your picture the build tools are not installed first install them and restart eclipse and enjoy and if any other problem comes type in commments
In my system(Windows Xp) first i integrate the android sdk to Eclipse indigo. But now i want to integrate the android sdk to Eclipse helios.How to do that? I tried but i am not getting. For this i removed the eclipse indigo and corresponding android sdk. after that i downloaded the eclipse helios and android sdk. open the eclipse it shows the android adk and avd manger icon. it shows error about android sdk path.How to install (like fresh) android sdk in eclipse helios? How to do that please can any body help me.
Just for changing the eclipse, you need not have removed the Android SDK. You can use the same SDK in different versions of Eclipse.
When you say you can see the SDK Manager and AVD Manager icons, I assume that you have successfully installed ADT.
To correct the Android SDK path error, go to Window -> Preferences -> Android. On the preferences pane, click the Browse button next to SDK Locations and browse to the path where you have installed the Android SDK (For example C:\Android\android-sdk-windows) and click Apply
Have you provided path for the android SDK in the preferences? If not then Go to Window > Preferences > Android and provide path your android SDK.
