I downloaded Android Studio and installed it in Win 7, and everything went fine. However, I do not have SDK Manager in the folder it is supposed to be. Here is a snapshot. Any idea?
There is no folder named "SDK Manager". In order to start developing you need to install platform tools and atleast one version of android using the SDK Manager.
Where to find SDK Manager?
Open Android Studio
Hope this helps :)
go to Tool-->SDK Manager from there it is written your SDK manager path.
In this latest version 2.3.1+ it is a deprecated feature:
For More:~
you can still start it via the SDK Manager.exe located in your SDK folder
C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

I have downloaded Android Studio and SDK Tools from here. However, the studio asks about SDK path and when I provide the tools folder, it says it is not valid. When I search for SDK, pages refer to the studio page. Where can I download the SDK manager?
SDK manager is available under Tools menu of Android Studio:
By default Android Studio downloads the SDK on C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
You can select this dir in your Android Studio.
If you don't find the SDK Manager then download the sdk-tools. You will SDK Manager under bin folder
I had the same problem. I just closed the popup asking for the SDk path as I had deleted the whole sdk folder files. Even though the Android Studio software states it can't continue without a SDk installation, I was able to click the errors away and like stated above start the SDk manager.
I pointed the SDK path to my empty sdk folder and then it gave a list of files it was
going to (download and) install. After that (when the first download and installation
completes) you can further configure the packages to your needs. it will then further download and install the selected packages. I hope this helps. (pls give it a thumbs up;-)
you can find here
click tools from android studio( from toolbar) -> click android-> sdk manager
Where can I find the sdk manager?
You can find it Top of android studio window Tools-->SDK Manager
You should give the SDK Location path that is generally available at
/home/user/Android/Sdk.
Try this..!
I am using eclipse all the time. I want to study android studio , and downloaded android studio and sdk. When I run the sdk manager , only android 7.0 was installed. The new sdk manager has a few differences. I don't know how to download android 5.0 packages?
Run sdk manager and you will see something like this:
You can check any android version you want here and by clicking apply and ok, it starts downloading.
If you don't want the whole package for each android version, you can click the show package detail checkbox on the button right of this window and see details of each package like below image:
Here you can check any subpackage you need and then click apply and ok.
It is also possible to copy and paste platforms, build-tools and other modules you need from your eclipse sdk to android studio sdk. Or set in your android studio preferences to use eclipse sdk.
You should launch the standalone SDK manager to have access to available packages.
Your SDK path is D:\Android\SDK.
Use explorer to open that directory then launch sdk manager.exe.
Now you have access to available packages.
It is also possible using android studio itself. check sdk tools and sdk update sites. Available packages can be found there too.
I inadvertently accepted android studio's upgrade suggestion to 2.3 (canary), although I had always had it set to check for the developer channel, not canary, somehow that got switched. Now I no longer have a 'Launch Standalone SDK Manager' option in my 'SDK Manager' window.
I liked the standalone manager for various reasons, including that it suggested what needed to be downloaded and upgraded. The regular sdk manager lists a lot of things I expect I don't need like 'CMake', 'LLDB', 'Constraint Layout for Android', 'Solver for ConstraintLayout', 'Google Play APK Expansion Library' ('Google Play APK Expansion Library rev 3' is already installed, so do I need this too?), etc.
Is the standalone sdk manager unavailable for 2.3 canary 2, or is there something more I need to do to get it?
I also have updated to the Canary version 2.3 and I'm amazed that they took it away there.. but you can still start it via the SDK Manager.exe located in your sdk folder
C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Present:Today when i was trying to launch, the terminal says, The android command is no longer available.
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
Past:
I also face the problem after updating to Canary version 2.3 on my mac.. On Mac or Linux, open a terminal and navigate to the tools/ directory in the location where the Android SDK is installed, then execute android sdk
or for only mac user go to folder located in
/Users/your mac account name/Library/Android/sdk/tools
and double click android to Launch Standalone SDK Manager
My Advice: Stop Searching for Launch Standalone SDK Manager and get use to be of android studio SDK manager and just choose the Show Package Details for more detailed description like Launch Standalone SDK Manager.
With the 2.3 Canary update, when using SDK Manager.exe or tools/android.bat, no manager is opened. However tools/android.bat give a pretty good answer to why it is not working:
The "android" command is no longer available.
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use
tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat and tools\bin\avdmanager.bat
We can still use command-line tools, but no more standalone SDK manager.
Yes, "Launch Standalone SDK Manager" option in Android Studio V2.3 is not available, But you can still start it via SDK Manager.exe located in your sdk folder.
c:\Users\You_User_Account_Name\AppData\Local\Android\SDK Manager.exe
Enjoy Android Studio with new features.
I just received an official response from AOSP -
Project Member #1 uchid...#google.com
deprecated feature , please check latest stable version Android 2.3
The link is now gone, and it is intentional.
Yes the standalone sdk manager option is missing in Android Studio 2.3. Get yourself used to the sdk manager available in Android Studio settings.
Also if you are installing Android Studio from scratch, you will not be available to find Sdk Manager.exe from C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Android\sdk or anywhere you install it.
I need to install some packages in Android SDK Manager, but in my SDK folder there isn't the .exe file (There is only the AVD Manager and the folders).
How can I find it? My SDK works normally with Android Studio, without problems, it's strange that SDK Manager.exe isn't there.
I had to install an older version
https://dl.google.com/android/installer_r24.4.1-windows.exe
and update it. Going from there worked
To open the SDK Manager from Android Studio, click Tools > Android > SDK Manager or click SDK Manager in the toolbar. If you're not using Android Studio, you can download tools using the sdkmanager command-line tool.
Check this link: https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/update.html#sdk-manager
I found C:\NVPACK\android-sdk-windows\tools\android.bat
When I ran it, it brought up SDK Manager.
Which was nice, because I couldn't find SDK Manager in the C:\NVPACK\android-sdk-windows\lib folder like I was told it would be there.
You can find Android SDK Manager.exe file in the following folder:
C:\Users[account]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk (sdk1 in my case)
You can tap on that and you will get the Android SDK Manager screen.
Go to android_sdk/tools/bin/ open cmd and type sdkmanager and hit enter you can use command prompt for it
You can find sdk manager under command-line tools, which you will have to download by clicking the configure drop-down link under the android studio start-up wizard.
C:\Users[account]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin
C:\Users[account]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin
I had trouble running from here because I didn't have the right permission. I was trying to update my SDK. I got it running from another folder on my system with the command line command:
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/7.0/bin/sdkmanager.bat" --update --sdk_root="C:/Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/cmdline-tools"
On Visual Studio 2022 you can look under Tools/Android/Android SDK Manager
When I open up Eclipse it tells me that my SDK tools are out of date. Eclipse says my current version is 17 and I can update it to 20. This is a lie; when I open the SDK Manager, my SDK tool are 20.0.1. But when I open up the SDK Manager VIA Eclipse, the SDK tools change to version 17. I already looked at Eclipse: won't let me use Android SDK, wrongly claims my ADT is out of date but it still wouldn't work. I deleted Eclipse and started fresh by downloading Eclipse and installing the Android repository(ADT) to Eclipse. No luck, still tells me SDK tools are 17. So I decided to play along and clicked "Open the SDK Manager" window in Eclipse. The Manager popped up and clicked "install 1 package" (SDK Tool). Halfway through, it stops and says the android-sdk/tools directory is locked by java.exe and cmd.exe so I opened Windows Task Manager and ended the "java.exe" process. And what do you know? My Android SDK Manager Windows just closed. How the am I was supposed update the SDK Tools if the SDK Manager is going to interfere with itself?
Had similar problem. My answer was update ADT Plugin for Eclipse (Help->Check for Updates). Restart Eclipse.
None of the above worked for me. I had to "delete" SDK Build tools packages and then re-install the packages. After doing that, I could now create a new android project.
For most, a simple update of build tool to required version suffice. As often happens, Android SDK Build-tools with compatible version is not installed.
Turns out, Eclipse was looking for the SDK Tools in the wrong place. Eclipse was looking for the tool in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
The ACTUAL TOOLS was in:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk
The SDK Manager will tell you where the tools are. You can tell Eclipse in the preferences (under the Windows) to look in that directory.
