This is my problem:
What I tried:
Re-installing.
Doing what it tells me to do on the picture.
I added the java jdk to my environment variables.
Nothing of those things worked.
Anyone got a clue?
The problem is not your JDK. As the error says, the problem is that it can't find the Android SDK.
The path that you put into that box should be something like /Users/<user_name>/Library/Android/sdk (OSX) or C:\Android\SDK (Windows), depending on where you have installed the Android SDK.
There are two ways to solve this problem:
Download the android standlone sdk from Android developer site
make a directory consisting of android sdk's in your computer and provide that directory path to that pop up.
Provide the sdk path (the default path is : /opt for Linux based OS and C:\Android\SDK or something like this for windows...
There can be several other ways. You can get more info # Android developer site for details

Recently I have installed the last version of Android Studio (Android Studio 2.1), keeping the old 1.2 version previously installed. Now i have Android Studio 2.1 and Android Studio 1.2. In Android Studio 1.2 when I click on SDK Manager it works properly, but in Andorid Studio 2.1 this problem appears:
how can I fix keeping the two versions of Android studio? Thanks
As the warning message states, the SDK location should not contain whitespace.
Your SDK is at C:\Users\Giacomo B\AppData\Local\Android\sdk. There is a whitespace character in Giacomo B.
The easiest solution is to move the SDK somewhere else, where there is no space or other whitespace character in the path, such as C:\Android\sdk. You can point both Android Studio installations to the new location.
There is another way:
Open up CMD (as Administrator)
Type: mklink /J C:\Program-Files "C:\Program Files" (Or in my case mklink /J C:\Program-Files-(x86) "C:\Program Files (x86)")
Hit enter
Magic happens! (Check your C drive)
Now you can point to C:\Program-Files (C:\Program-Files-(x86)).
just change the path:
"c:\program files\android\sdk" to "c:\progra~1\android\sdk"
or
"c:\program files (x86)\android\sdk" to "c:\progra~2\android\sdk"
note that the paths should not contain spaces.
It is possible to make a symbolic link from e.g. C:\Android\sdk to the actual location of the sdk (which contains whitespaces), and refer to this symbolic link from within Android Studio as the location of the SDK. I have, however, not tried whether NDK will work with such a setup, even though Android Studio stops giving this warning about whitespaces.
As long as you aren't using the NDK you can just ignore that warning.
By the way: This warning has nothing to do with parallel installations.
Simply....If you are not using NDK, there is no problem at all. On the other this is just warning not an error. With warning you can go ahead but not errors. Any it's better to adjust the whitespaces.
E.g if your SDK is at C:\program file\Android studio. There is a whitespaces "program file".
There are 2 simple methods:
1. Remove the whitespaces
2. Install at another location which don't have whitespaces.
I have the same error, make some change in the path C:\Users\Juan Jose\App---- to
C:\Users\JUAN~1\App.
CMD Command (Windows) go to root c:\Users
Type de command DIR /X
Here show a Short name of Juan Jose
Reemplace the name Juan Jose with the Short Name give it.
Copy your SDK folder and paste it in another folder without spaces (for example: "D: / Android / Sdk"), then open the SDK Manager, and change the Android SDK Location to the location of your new SDK folder
Just change
C:\Users\Giacomo B\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
to
C:\Users\Giacomo_B\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
I just wanted to add a solution for Mac users since this is the top article that comes up for searches related to this issue. If you have macOS 10.13 or later you can make use of APFS Space Sharing.
Open Disk Utility
Click Partition
Click Add Volume -- no need to Partition as we are adding an APFS volume which shares space within the current partition/container)
Give the volume a name (without spaces)
Click Add
You can now mount this drive like any other via Terminal: cd /Volumes/<your_volume_name>
Create an empty folder in the new volume -- I called mine sdk
You can now select the volume and directory while installing Android Studio
your sdk file path does not have whitespace like this./abc aaa/sdk it like ./abc_aaa/sdk this.
you know that this is does not do anything with your java and xml. It only affect the ndk which is for native apps or to use c++/c. so if you are just using java and xml or even kotlin there is no side effect with that thing
Just remove white space of all folders present in the given path for example Program Files
You can remove it by following steps->
Open elevated cmd,
In the command prompt execute:
mklink /J C:\Program-Files "C:\Program Files"
This will remove space and replace it with "-".
Better do this with both sdk and jdk path.
This works :)
I'm not able to include the android sdk to my PATH variable, so that I can use "android" from terminal.
I was following this tutorial to enable phonegap (which is my primary goal http://julianhigman.com/blog/2013/10/17/notes-on-setting-up-phonegap-on-ubuntu-for-android-app-development/)
First I took a look at the official android dev page
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=studio
It says:
"You may want to add android-studio/bin/ to your PATH environmental variable so that you can start Android Studio from any directory."
So I extended my .bashrc file with following lines
export PATH="/usr/local/android-sdk/android-studio/bin/:$PATH"
This points to the correct path as described in on the dev page.
Since this does not work I did some deeper research and found several threads which did not help either.
(Android command not found even PATH set)
Most recommend to do the following:
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/android-sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/android-sdk/platform-tools
The problem here is, that I dont have any folders named tools or platform tools?
I'm running on Linux mint 16.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be great!
Update:
echo $PATH results to:
/usr/local/heroku/bin:/home/foo/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/local/android-sdk/tools:/usr/local/android-sdk/platform-tools:/usr/local/android-sdk/android-studio/bin
But I added only this line
Added to enable android on the path
export PATH="/usr/local/android-sdk/android-studio/bin:$PATH"
Update
Had to install the packages after for android sdk and added them successfully to the .bashrc, now android is available.
Thanks in advance

Recently I've started to get involved in Android developing, and I learned that Android Studio was available contrary to Eclipse. So I downloaded the new software by Google and started it up. It prompted me to install some SDK packages and I did all that it recommended me to do at
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/sdk-manager.html
Then I saw a link that said you can find out where your SDK path is by opening the SDK manager up top, as well as the answer described on this page
Android Studio - How to Change Android SDK Path
So I copied the path and tried to use the run command (I can't post images yet) The path is described as
C:\Users\baruy\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
I get an error saying that it doesn't exist. I browse for the files by myself, to learn that there is no AppData folder under baruy
Windows 8 64-bit, home edition. Please help, thanks
AppData is a hidden folder on windows. In order to show hidden files and folders on windows 8, follow this guide on msdn.
In short, you should go to Control panel->Folder options->"View" tab and then check the "Show hidden files, folders and drives". If you don't find the android sdk after that than it is simply not there.
AppData is an hidden folder. Paste that path in the window manager path and you should get there. Alternatively use the console and type:
cd AppData\Local\Android\sdk
After upgrading to Android 3.0 this path error came up. The default Sdk path in mac is /Users/username/Library/Android/sdk, and as that was marked in the systems settings the studio just had to be restarted and it worked again.
Okay. I'm kind of at my wits' end here. I've been trying for about 2 days to set up Titanium Studio to recognize and connect to the Android SDK (Windows 7). I have tried multiple solutions (below) with no luck. There's got to be something I'm missing. I've tried Google and the Titanium developer guides. So this is my last straw. Any ideas?
Android SDK home path is C:\Android\android-sdk (to avoid spaces with "Program Files")
installed all SDKs (3,4,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15), their Samples, and all Google APIs
installed all "Extras" packages
Added both the Android tools and platform-tools directories to Windows' PATH variable
Copied adb.exe from platform-tools to tools as Titanium likes to look there for adb
Installed the current master build of Titanium SDK for Mobile Devices
Created Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) for SDKs 7 and 8 (Titanium's required SDKs)
Restarted adb server and computer itself after each change
On the Titanium 'Dashboard' tab, under 'Configure', I get:
An Android SDK is missing. Titanium requires Android platforms 2.1.* and 2.2.*
When attempting to set the default Android SDK path in 'Preferences', I get:
Could not locate the Android SDK at the given path
Titanium log file output (sorry, kinda long):
!ENTRY com.appcelerator.titanium.mobile 4 0 2012-02-22 14:06:21.992

I have no idea what's missing. Eclipse recognizes everything just fine. ANY suggestions??
P.S.
I've noticed that when I attempt to run 'android' commands, i.e.
android
android list targets
I get what seems to be an error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
However, the commands still continue to run with no issues (I get a list of all the targets and the SDK Manager pops up). I'm not sure whether or not whatever is causing that message is also causing Titanium headaches.
I was facing the exact same issue, but now I have figured this out and it was working fine.
Basically, when I install Titanium Studio and I configure Android SDK it worked fine, but when I try to execute Project there was "javac not found" error. While resolving this issue I came across a Post where it was mentioned to include '%JAVA_HOME;%' in your Path. And when I did this the Android SDK was not longer detected by Titanium.
I removed the '%JAVA_HOME%' from Path Variable and then I include Java bin Folder Path to Path Variable and created a new variable 'JAVA_HOME' which points to root directory of Java installation. Everything works fine after doing this step.
I hope you will now get your Titanium Environment running. :-)
Thanks.
Newer version of Titanium have the Update Android SDK option in the Dashboard. Just make sure, the path is correct. Some cases like mine, there might be two Android SDK paths; one was obsolete and the other was active. So, please make sure of that path. When Titatnium is about to update the SDK software, looking in for newer versions, please select Cancel, as that wouldn't be required!
open titanium ide.
click on file-> titanium mobile project.
a window will show up with a link Set-up/Configure SDKs in the
bottom. click on this link.
now give android sdk home: c:\Androi\android-sdk (or browse to
android-sdk folder in your system)
select the default Android Sdk
click Apply
Click Ok.
You should be good to go.
Let me know if you face any problems.
I updated the Android SDK tools from revision 11 to revision 12, and the emulator now fails to start. When I try to run emulator.exe, I get:
invalid command-line parameter: Files\Android\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe.
Hint: use '#foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'.
please use -help for more information
The path to emulator.exe is C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools.
How do I fix it?
As was previously suggested, it does seem to be caused by the fact that there is a space in the default installation path of the Android SDK: C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\
There are a couple of possible solves, though-
move installation directories to paths that do not contains spaces (as already mentioned)...
but simpler and possibly slightly less cumbersome is simply adjusting the path in Eclipse to use 8-dot-3 directory name(s). Since I'm running Win7, I have two Program Files directories, the second one being "Program Files (x86)" which is where the sdk installed. So the 8-dot-3 path is PROGRA~2. Thus, I simply changed the "SDK Location" value in the Android Preferences in Eclipse from C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\ to C:\PROGRA~2\Android\android-sdk\ and everything now works fine.
If you don't know the 8-dot-3 name of your desired path, just fire up a Command Prompt and execute "DIR /X"... the short name will be displayed next to each directory.
Same problem for me, though this is my first time trying to work with Android SDK in general. I believe the problem is with the location of the SDK. Note the "paramater" "Files\Android\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe." I believe there is a bug in google's code where it doesn't have the directory the SDK is located in in quotes, meaning, if there is a space anywhere in the directory name, it won't work. Can someone with their SDK in a directory with no spaces confirm my theory?
To work around the issue, you can call "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools\emulator #foo" from the command line, where "foo" is the name of your emulator.
I got this problem just now, and I found a solution.
My path to the emulator-arm.exe is C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools. When I try emulator-arm #my_avd from the command line (my_avd is my Android Virtual Device name), it works.
I fixed this problem on Windows XP. Just cut from "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk" and paste content directory to "C:\Android\android-sdk". Set my system varaible 'ANDROID_HOME'="C:\Android\android-sdk". Set path to Android SDK in Eclipse as "C:\Android\android-sdk". That's it!
Everything works fine.
Since the cause of this issue is the space within filepath names of the Windows install directory then another workaround is to use the file short names (i.e. 8.3 alias filenames).
Specifically, if root install directory for Android SDK is
c:\Program Files\.. then use c:\PROGRA~1\..
or if
c:\Program Files(x86)\.. then use c:\PROGRA~2\..
You can then launch the SDK Manager via the command-line by running:
start c:\PROGRA~2\Android\android-sdk\tools\android.bat
Fixed in r13. Update your SDK Tools!
I think you are saying you changed the minSDK version of your app and now the emulator wont run...? this is because your emulator is the wrong version... assuming you changed the minSDK of your app correctly, all you need to do is create a emulator with the same SDK version. Open the Android SDK / AVD manager (icon top right of screen next to print token) and create a emulator with minSDK 12.
Moving your Android SDK folder to somewhere that the complete path will be without white spaces will fix the problem.
I also got this problem after updating SDK Tools from revision 11 to 12.
I found it was a problem with a space in the upper directory name where android-sdk-windows resides, then I copied both 'eclipse' and 'android-sdk-windows' directories from my 'Program Files (x86)' to the root of drive D:.
All is solved now!
As an alternative to PROGRA~2 method (which is not working for example in Intellij IDEA), you can create a symlink named, for example, prg to Program Files (run mklink /? from command line to learn how to do it), then run emulator as C:\prg\Android\android-sdk\tools\emulator.exe. Change path to SDK/emulator in your IDE also.
I had a same problem when I setup r12. I found out this problem was caused by blank spaces in the path you setup android SDK. The solution is that you should move the folder of android SDK to a place without spaces, in your case : E:\andriod-sdk or D:\abc\xyz\android-sdk.
