I am a beginner in android.I just install Android Studio 2.3.2 stable version. SDK is at location C:\Users\Priya Jain\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk. but when I go to SDK Manager nothing is responding. Now how can I install all tools need for the android studio?
Is there need to install SDK in its default location
EDIT
Here is my system configuration
When I click on SDK tools, SDK Update sites it is not responding even on SDK platform anything is not clickable.image.
I set a default location for SDK but not working.
Thanks in advance
No need to install SDK in default location You only need to set path of SDk in Android Studio:-
Go to
1) File -> project Structure into Project Structure
2)Left -> SDK Location
3)SDK location select Android SDK location and here you set your SDK path.
You may place Android SDK folder anywhere on your hard drive, but make sure it's not protected. Just try with the following:
1. Goto Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager
2. In the opened window find Android SDK Location and click on Edit
3. Again In the opened window find Android SDK Location and click on the choose directory icon having 3 dots.
4. Now locate path of immediate sdk folder inside which the SDK Manager.exe file exist, and save it by clicking Next button.
Now u will be able to launch SDK manager.
Not at all. I used to have the same issue in the beginning. You may install android SDK wherever you want to place it, even in a portable hard drive. you just need to change settings in the android studio to search SDK in the location where you installed it instead of looking in the default folder. for this follow these steps.
1. Open Android Studio
2. Go to File-->Settings-->Appearance and Behaviour-->
System Settings--> Android SDK
3. On the top, there would be Android SDK Location box. Click on edit.click here for image
6. A box will open. at the bottom there a box Android SDK Location. click on ... box.click here for image
4. Change directory to where you saved SDK folder and click finish.
5. Click Apply and OK.
It should work fine.
#priya, see attached image. you can select drive where sdk resides after automatically affect and it will display available android version.

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..!
SDK Manager is not opening from eclipse. An initialization screen comes but the SDK Manager doesn't open. I have tried renaming android.bat file but that doesnt work. Re-installing has also been tried.
The possible reason for this to happen is you might have installed the plugin in a wrong way or the destination of the file might have changed by some means.
Make sure these 2 are correct on the 1st place.
If you are confident about these 2 are proper. Make sure the actual SDK_Manager.exe runs directly from its folder destination if double clicked.
which will be present in your android SDK path--->\Android\android-sdk\SDK Manager.exe
Open android.bat in sdk/tools folder by right click on it and click edit
find the line-
set java_exe=
edit it to your path to java.exe like
set java_exe=C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe
then delete the next line which is
call lib\find_java.bat
This one worked for me......

After 2 days of frustration not getting solution to launch SDK Manager manually and in Eclipse. Finally, I figured out the solution and whatever solution available elsewhere is not correct on recent development. Thought of adding this info of Android SDK for new to mobile testing enthusiast:
Android encourages users to use Android IDE, so you don't find Android ADT bundle zip file in the site. You may need to download from untrusted source if you want to configure SDK to Eclipse manually.
Solution:
Download JDK, install it, set environment variables for JDK and JRE in your system. (if not sure, please see videos of how to install JDK)
Download Eclipse, unzip it and launch Eclipse
In Eclipse, Go to Windows and click Install new software
Enter this url in work-with: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ and press Enter
Select Developer Tools checkbox and click Next and finish
Click Ok for permission in popup
Click OK to restart Eclipse
Click Cancel in setting SDK in preferences
Parallely, Android Installation Tool windows opens up, click next
Select automatically downloading Android SDK tools and api versions
It downloads all required tool, it restarts the eclipse, sets preferences,
Now you can launch SDK Manager from Eclipse or go to SDK tools folder and launch Android in tools folder.
The reason of this is using newer version of android sdk tools.
Eclipse supports sdk tools version 25.2.5 and build-tools version 25.0.3. The reason is google has removed some optional/deprecated tools from sdk tools in release 25.3.0. But eclipse needs them to work with android projects. So the thing you can do is delete tools folder from your sdk and download eclipse supported version
Android SDK Tools:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-windows.zip
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-linux.zip
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-macosx.zip
Extract them in your sdk installation directory.
You can now access to SDK manager by using the android command, which is located in tools directory of your sdk. You can also do this from eclipse.
Note that Eclipse supports build-tools version 25.0.3 and older, so you will have to download them. For other tools you can select latest version. They are supported by eclipse.
I just downloaded the Android Studio .dmg for OSX. Per the installation instructions, I've dragged it to the application folder and launched the application.
But the SDK Manager and AVD Manager are greyed out and are impossible to use.
Any ideas on an installation step I may have missed?
For people coming for this same problem for Windows: you won't have an Android SDK anywhere if it is your first time with Android. Also, here the Android Studio doesn't come with a packed SDK Manager, so you need to download one.
So this is what you may do:
Download the SDK Manager and an Android SDK
Download the SDK Manager from: http://developer.android.com/sdk/. Use the link that says "Get the SDK for an existing IDE".
Execute the downloaded installer.
Execute this program with administrator rights: SDK Manager.exe
Download the proposed SDK (if you get errors regarding the SDK Manager couldn't create some folders, remember it should be executed as administrator).
Configure Android Studio to work with the new SDK
Open Android Studio and in the Quick Start window click "Configure", you will see the SDK Manager greyed out.
Go to "Project Defaults", then to "Project Structure" and there it will ask for the path where you installed the SDK.
If you click OK and go back you will see the SDK Manager is no longer greyed out, and now you can start creating projects.
A project needs to have been loaded at least once for the link to become available.
Found it in :
File / Project Structure...
Then in "Android SDK" provide the path to the SDK folder inside the Android Studio Application Bundle.
Then Make a new project.
Then after the initial setup the elements where finally enabled.
Android Studio Beta v0.8.14 with the Android SDK for Mac does not appear to include the SDK: you need to install the SDK manually (e.g. https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools) and then configure Android Studio to find and use it.
(I ended up using the ADT bundle, since I couldn't seem to find the SDK as a standalone download.)
You need to use the buttons on the welcome dialog, and not on the applications menu bar or preferences (as I had initially thought). Step by step:
(Note that "SDK Manager" is greyed out until you complete this, at which point you cannot undo it for the purposes of taking screenshots...)
Navigate back and the "SDK Manager" button on the "Configure" panel should be enabled. Clicking it should display something like this:
I had a similar problem and the cause was that I've used path with a space in it. There was a warning in the window that can cause problems with NDK, but in fact it caused problems with Android Studio internal SDK as well. After changing the path it works fine.
Go to configure -> project defaults -> project structure
give the path for the SDK and press OK.
It should work now
For Mac Users (Android Studio Beta v0.8.14)
The SDK or SDK manager is not included with this version of Android Studio, and the documentation is obfuscated regarding this change at this point.
Download the standalone SDK from here. You may select the latest revision of the same from this link below the title GET THE SDK FOR AN EXISTING IDE.
Extract the downloaded zip, and rename the folder as sdk
Copy the sdk folder into the Android Studio.app/Contents directory
Restart Android Studio and you will be shown this dialog when the Android Studio starts up
To remove grey out area,
you need to follow this steps as below:
Go to File
Click on Project Structure
Go to SDK Location
Click on Browse to find SDK path
Select proper SDK path on your system
Now click on SDK manager icon on Android Studio toolbar
I hope this solves the problem of grey out area.
Thanks,
This will no longer be a problem when version 1.0 is released. In the meanwhile you can download the latest canary build (1.0 RC2), which downloads the SDK during the setup.
For me, the issue was on windows and it was as simple as launching the installer with "administrative" mode. That's it!
I am trying to update my android SDK Tools and I am having a weird issue with the SDK manager not fetching the current android sdk path.It picks the path as shown below in the snap
Whereas my current SDK path is F:\Work\Eclipse & Android\Android\android-sdk
I have the SDK already installed but its not fetching the correct path.
I am using Eclipse Kepler and my ADT version is 22.3
Is there a way in which this path could be resolved?
Thanks for the help
For Android Studio:
Press F4 into Project Structure
Left > SDKs
Press +, add another sdk
For Eclipse:
Open Eclipse and go to Preferences (Window -> Preferences), select
the Android tab and Browse to you SDK location.
If this not works try to reinstall Android SDK
I dont know what caused the issue but I have it resolved for now.
I had to move my entire Android SDK to another folder and change my SDK path from Eclipse preferences.
The SDK manager is now fetching the correct SDK path.
go to windows-->preferences-->android
then browse F:\Work\Eclipse & Android\Android\android-sdk
click on OK and you are done
I already have the latest android sdk with all platforms/sources/etc downloaded.
How can i tell Android Studio to use an existing android sdk without moving it to android-studio\sdk\?
Follow this:
Open up your project in Android Studio.
Go to Settings for the Project via F4. Or selecting the Project Root -> Right-Click and then Module Settings.
You will find Project Settings and Module Settings under which you have the option of selecting both your JDK and Android SDKs if you want.
For e.g. under Platform Settings, you will find SDKs and you can simply tap on the green + sign to add your own path to a locally present SDK.
Hope this helps.
Go to Configure > Project Defaults > Project Structure. There is a setting: SDK Location.
Changing that will make AS use the specified SDK (instead of the one it comes with) for all your projects.
How you do it without having to download another 1GB android sdk:
While installing Android Studio, you have an option to install Custom or Standard.
Choose Custom, and then set the location of your android SDK to where your SDK currently resides.
A red message will appear saying that an existing SDK installation was detected and that only outdated and missing plugins will be installed.
:)
In Android Studio
Go to
File -> project Structure into Project Structure
Left -> SDK Location
SDK location select Android SDK location (old version use Press +, add another sdk)
