I have android studio 1.3 and my sdk folder is in full update. But I do not want to have API18, API19 and the higher API in my android studio. Because I do not need them. Please say me that if I do not want to use the API18 to higher,What things should I delete from the sdk folder exactly?
In the Android Studio SDK manager, click on the Show package details checkbox in the bottom right corner, then untick the boxes for all the old SDK versions/emulators/documentation etc that you want to delete, and hit Apply.
You can safely delete any files for older SDK's on the SDK Platforms page, but I'd advise leaving everything on the SDK Tools page installed as these don't take up much space, and for the most part are not platform specific.
Instead of Force Delete you can Make It Simple By Using SDK Manager, Just Open Sdk manager, Mark Those Installed API which you want to uninstall and Click on Uninstall Package. It Should be Uninstalled.
Run your SDK Manager, select all the tools you want to uninstall, and click on the "Delete Packages" button, this will remove all the tools you selected.

Android studios sdk manager wont let me install new platforms, they are all greyed out and unclickable. Here is a picture:
This shows uninstalled components to install copy the path and paste it in file manager it will take you to Android SDK manager then open it(also, grant admin privilege) and done, now you can install them.
Change the "Android SDK Location" to another PATH with no "empty spaces". From the picture, it seems to be an empty space between "Windows" and "7". For instance, using "C:\Android\sdk" as the SDK location. I've encountered similar issues in the past with Android Studio on Windows due to empty spaces.
First be sure that you enough space on the drive that the SDK manager installed(depending on the API number that you want to install the drive must have 20-40 GB free space).
Then after selecting all you want to install click on install packages button and at least check the accept license and press install
Here's and Image to demo I had the same problem but when I ran android studio as an administrator it worked for me perfectly
Android SDK updater shows a lot of different system images. I don't need them all. Is there an option to check which packages I am interested to download in Android Studio
However, I cannot uncheck any system position image (only Android Repository and Offline Repo can be unchecked).
I think its important to clarify couple of things. Lets take your screenshot as base:
SDK platforms: It includes all android API. if any SDK platform installed .then it will be part of update-tracking.
SDK Tools: It includes developer tools. any checked one will be apart update-tracking.
SDK Update sites: It includes repositories for all resources.
If you don't want to get any update of any system image.. just don't install any image. Then You won't be notified about updates. Im pretty sure. You will get updates about what you have installed only.
If you still interested to uncheck Android System Images, do the following:
Launch SDK manager from SDK platforms by click on Launch
standalone SDK manager
Go to menu under Tools and click on Android Add-on Sites...
Uncheck Android System Images
Close and that's it 🙂
If you cannot click on Tools in menu. Try to change focus to another window and get back to SDK Manager Window. It happens with me on Mac
Good luck,'.
Instead of using the Android Studio updater you can also use the command line sdkmanager which can be found at your/path/to/Android/sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager
With sdkmanager --list you can print a list of all available and install them with sdkmanager "system-images;the_wanted_system_image"
Im not sure why your screenshot shows SDK Update Sites (it's place where you can pick sources of updates, not updates itself), but if you will pick SDK Platforms tab, then click check Show Package Details you will be able to pick whatever you want.
Here is the easiest way according to me
Open run and type
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\system-images
and delete the unwanted system images from there Good Luck
I'm on the latest Android Studio 2.1, I installed it on existing SDK, when I go to Settings/Appearance & Behaviour/System Settings/Android SDK I can see that it detects my installed SDK although with a warning of whitespace path, but SDK Tools and SDK Update Sites tabs are greyed out I think, I can't access them.
Any help on that?
Are you using Window's Enable Show Hidden Files in
the Control Panel/Appearance and Personalisation/File Explore options?
Double click on it, and go to view and check mark it and hit apply.
You will find a hidden folder another sdk in File Explorer C:\Users\"your administrator name"\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk.
Copy all the files from here to C:\android\sdk, restart Android Studio, and enjoy.
I have mistakenly deleted android-support-appcompat-v7 from sdk. I hoped that the sdk manager would see it and asked me an update on extras->Android support Library but no.
What can I do now please to reinstall android-support-appcompat-v7 into my android-sdk?
Open Android SDK Manager.
Select the checkboxes of the parts of the SDK you want to delete.
Click Delete.
Select the checkboxes of the parts of the SDK you want to install.
Click Install.
How do I set up IntelliJ IDEA for Android applications?
I've spent a day on trying to put all the pieces together, been in hundreds of sites and tutorials, but they all skip trivial steps.
So here's the full guide:
Download and install Java JDK (Choose the Java platform)
Download and install Android SDK (Installer is recommended)
After android SD finishes installing, open SDK Manager under Android SDK Tools (sometimes needs to be opened under admin's privileges)
Choose everything and mark Accept All and install.
Download and install IntelliJ IDEA (The community edition is free)
Wait for all downloads and installations and stuff to finish.
New Project:
Run IntelliJ
Create a new project (there's a tutorial here)
Enter the name, choose Android type.
There's a step missing in the tutorial, when you are asked to choose the JDK (before choosing the SDK) you need to choose the Java JDK you've installed earlier. Should be under C:\Program Files\Java\jdk{version}
Choose a New platform ( if there's not one selected ) , the SDK platform is the android platform at C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows.
Choose the android version.
Now you can write your program.
Compiling:
Near the Run button you need to select the drop-down-list, choose Edit Configurations
In the Prefer Android Virtual device select the ... button
Click on create, give it a name, press OK.
Double click the new device to choose it.
Press OK.
You're ready to run the program.
The 5th step in "New Project' has apparently changed slightly since.
Where it says android sdk then has the drop down menu that says none, there is no longer a 'new' button.
5.)
a.)click the ... to the right of none.
b.)click the + in the top left of new window dialog. (Add new
Sdk)
c.)click android sdk from drop down menu
d.)select home directory for your android sdk
e.)select java sdk version you want to use
f.)select android build target.
g.)hit ok!
Once I have followed all these steps, I start to receive error messages in all android classes calls like:
I revolved that including android.jar in the SDKs Platform Settings:
I had some issues that this didn't address in getting this environment set up on OSX. It had to do with the solution that I was maintaining having additional dependencies on some of the Google APIs. It wasn't enough to just download and install the items listed in the first response.
You have to download these.
Run Terminal
Navigate to the android/sdk directory
Type "android" You will get a gui. Check the "Tools" directory and the latest Android API (at this time, it's 4.3 (API 18)).
Click "Install xx packages" and go watch an episode of Breaking Bad or something. It'll take a while.
Go back to IntelliJ and open the "Project Structure..." dialog (Cmd+;).
In the left panel of the dialog, under "Project Settings," select Project. In the right panel, under "Project SDK," click "New..." > Android SDK and navigate to your android/sdk directory. Choose this and you will be presented with a dialog with which you can add the "Google APIs" build target. This is what I needed. You may need to do this more than once if you have multiple version targets.
Now, under the left pane "Modules," with your project selected in the center pane, select the appropriate module under the "Dependencies" tab in the right pane.
Just in case someone is lost. For both new application or existing ones go to File->Project Structure. Then in Project settings on the left pane select Project for the Java SDK and select Modules for Android SDK.
Another way to identify the correct SDK is to install Android Studio, create a new project, go to project structure, SDK Location and find where the SDK was installed.
I found using the default installation process on a mac that the SDK home folder was in the /Users/'yourUser'/Library/Android/sdk folder. Make sure you have enabled your Mac to view the Library folder.
You just need to install Android development kit from http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html#Updating
and also Download and install Java JDK (Choose the Java platform)
define the environment variable in windows System setting https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Setting+the+JAVA_HOME+Variable+in+Windows
Voila ! You are Donezo !
