I have Android Studio (I don't use it) installed on my Windows 8.1, and I am upgrading my OS to Windows 10. Which folders should I backup to skip downloading the packages from Android SDK Manager in Windows 10?
I don't have knowledge of Android Studio yet, and as it takes lot of time to download those packages, which folders should I backup to skip the fresh downloading again?
Open your user under the Users in C drive.
Go to the location \AppData\Local\Android and backup the entire sdk folder.
(Note the AppData folder might be hidden).
After upgrading, place the backup in exactly the same location as before.
Happy Upgrading! :)

I have been trying most of today to install and use Android 4.1 development SDK. I won't bother anyone with everything I have tried.
It seemed to be operational, but I needed to install an AMD emulator to actually do anything. Using the SDK Tool Kit manager, I have been trying to get it to install the required software, but every time I try I get this error:
Disk usage:
Estimated download size 91.2 MB
Estimated disk space to be additionally occupied on SDK partition after installation: 364.7 MB
Currently available disk space in SDK root(location of the SDK root) 0 B
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
I am running on a 4 year old HP laptop with one hard drive partition with 916 of storage and a recovery partition with 13.9 GB. File Manager shows my D drive has 851 GB available.
I came up against this while trying to reinstall AS (don't ask why). What seemed to have happened was that after the new install it opened the last project I'd worked on, though I thought I'd removed all user settings.
This meant skipping the start up screen where, heaven knows why, you still have to download the SDK. I was tearing my hair out and finally closed the project, at which point the start up screen appeared and I could download the SDK.
For me the solution in the latest Android was to
Remove all sdk files, leave Android Studio.
Close all projects in Android Studio
Launch empty Android Studio and install the Android SDK.
After empty launch with basic SDK installation disk space is calculated properly and you can install required components in SDK manager.
I got the solution.
The reason it is saying 0B is because - you might have deleted the location of the SDK.
You have to manually create the folders in the path.
For example if your SDK path shows on that pop-up is: /Users/name/Library/Android/sdk
Then go to this path and check if all these folders are available.
If not, create them.
Then come back and click again in the SDK manager.
It will allow you to install and it will show the available sizes as well.
Android Studio SDK Manager cannot download https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sources-30_r01.zip or https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-30_r03.zip because of the company's SSL interception (it runs a scan on some files before it lets you download them). But I can manually download these files by putting the links in a browser and waiting for the scan to complete.
How can I make Android Studio SDK Manager install these zip files from disk, rather than trying to download them, on Windows 10? I have tried to find out on the internet but all of the answers are either out of date or do not quite apply to this situation. Thanks.
I had SDK problem similar to yours. I followed the steps;
Download https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-30_r03.zip
Go to the directory
C:\Users\computer-name\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platforms
Unzip platform-30_r03.zip ( will create an android-11 folder)
Delete platform-30_r03.zip after file extraction is complete
Restart Android Studio
I tried downloading and installing eclipse because I want to explore android programming. I tried downloading and installing all the tools in the android device manager without thinking about how much space it can use. The downloads used 14 gb in my disk and I'm already regretting it. I tried deleting all my eclipse file but it still uses the same amount on my disk. Is there anything I can do to completely remove all eclipse files in my computer?
normally eclipse works like a portable software. You can only install Plugins inside it, which will be saved in the plugin folder. So in my opinion you have to search manually where it is on your space and after this you better download right here: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
normally it must be done if you just delete the eclipse folder ...
You have to remove the android installation with all its packages : documentations, sdk, ecc... you can find them into the android folder,
C:\Program Files\Android in Windows
or open the Android SDK manager and remove every installed package.
So I have numerous distros of eclipse and enjoy linuxmint but can not seem to get the ADT or Sdk for android to register.I do not use home internet as my phone covers most needs so I am hoping for some offline downloads that may assist me with this problem. My sdk is located in my home dir under its own folder as is the Adt.Do i have to code something in linux?
Ok I have eclipse Galileo Build id: 20100218-1602, I was having a problem with my Logcat, and seen a post that recommended updating the SDK, so I updated the SDK to the latest version. This made the eclipse program give me a message saying this SDK needs ADT 14 or higher. I have tried to update the ADT without success. At this point, I've tried to delete and uninstall everything, and that has been impossible. There is no uninstall program and the eclipse folder will not delete. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to delete eclipse from my Window 7 computer? Or a way to revert back to my old SDK? This is driving me nuts. Thanks!
ADT 14 works only with Eclipse Indigo version.
Eclipse does not need any installation it contains a direct runnable exe. If you are unable to delete the folder then try restart your PC or try a software that will unlock the folder or atleast show you the processes that have a lock on that particular folder. You can close these processes on your own.
Once you install ADT 14 with eclipse indigo update the Android SDK. It should be straight forward.
i recommend a new install. while an update will easily take 2 to 4 hours (from rev 15 to rev21, with appropriate sdks, etc), you can download the complete ADT ECLIPSE bundle in much less time (410 MB) on regular 10Mb broadband.
i tried updating on Java EE Indigo from rev 15 to rev 21 (sdk tools) and ran into a big, big mess. not worth it. gave up and reinstalled eclipse. faster process and much sturdier result.
Download ADT bundle here, then
follow these instructions
since ECLIPSE is an executable that uses java virtual machine to run, it does NOT need to be installed (especially handy on windows). just unpack the bundle into your Program Files folder and execute the file eclipse.exe (if running under Vista / 7, you MAY need to run always as Administrator, i have a published recipe for Admin installing here).
after installing and checking if everything is OK, rename or delete your OLD eclipse folder.
if you use the same workspace that you were using previously, you should not miss a beat: the same projects will be open as when you last left your workspace, and your run and debug configs should be there, too.
ECLIPSE ROCKS!
