A this point in time my SDK and affiliated tools are stored on my C ( C:\User\Jeff\App\AppData\Local\Android\sdk) drive is there a way of moving everything to another drive without android studio or other programs blowing up with errors?
p.s. im new to this sorry
If you move the SDK, the next time you open Android Studio, it should ask for the location again. You can also manually retarget it via File > Project Structure > SDK Location.

I am trying to reinstall android studio. Previously it was on the C drive and now I want to install it on another drive, say D.I have completely uninstalled the previous android studio and folders from users/local folder. Now during installation, I am asked to specify the location for SDK. Can I change this from C:\Users\Cap\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk to any other drive? Will it lead to problems in the future?
You can absolutely change the SDK location. I personally prefer to use another drive than c for my Android SDK as when I format my c drive and reinstall Android Studio, I don't need to download SDK again. I can simply point my studio to the old location.
Yes, you can install the sdk in any drive you prefer.
Definitely yes, you can change this location. put sdk file in custom location and set that path, it will not produce any problem.
I decided to move all of my android project from the previous laptop to the new one. But when i copy the directory of Android Studio & run it, it still need to download the SDK first. But because of various internet speed's problem, it is troublesome to re-download the various SDKs.
Please tell me every directory that must i copy to make it run perfectly? (without download any plugins/sdk/whatever)
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\
on windows(username will be your customized username)
/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk.
on mac(users will be your customized username)
Then point android studio at that sdk location and it should work
Might not be an error, maybe it's just me being kinda slow, but once I click on build, on the usual menu, as the image below shows...
Unity asks me to select "something" in my computer, which is weird, it doesn't lets me select a file, or a program, or anything. It's really really weird because I can't select anything. Once I close the window it gives me an error that no Android SDK could be found, also weird since I downloaded it from android's website and installed it properly. What could it be?
If you installed the Android Studio is easier to set up.
On Android Studio, follow these steps:
Tools > Android > SDK Manager
Now at new window copy the address from which this SDK (Android SDK location)
At unity go to:
Edit > preferences
At new windown (Unity preferences) go to tab External Tools
Paste andress from SDK location at the SDK place
If you have not Studio but have installed the SDK, you should look where this installed, find the SDK folder, copy this address and puts it in the Unity preferences> External Tools> SDK.
I have Eclipse and android studio in my PC. For Eclipse and android studio i am using same sdk.
But today i have updated my android studio to 1.0 beta and by mistake i have select wrong configuration for the android studio, that's why it has download new sdk to another location.
Now, I have two android sdk at different location.
One at C:/some_directory/sdk (Which have new packages)
and another at D:/some_directory/android_sdk (which have old packages)
Now, both have different packages downloaded. I don't want to download it again. So what i want is, i want to copy the new sdk contain to old one to get all packages in one place (Old place). So, is it possible to do that? or i must have to update old packages to get it effected by new packages?
Please let me know for this thing so that i can update my old sdk and start work on same.
You can manually set SDK location in Android Studio:
Project Structure -> SDK Location -> Choose your SDK folder
And in Eclipse:
Window -> Preferences -> Android -> SDK Location
Before do anything it's safe to keep backup copy of both sdk..
After that..
in OLD_SDK directory copy content from NEW_SDK directory
and now use this "OLD_SDK" path in both version..
Yes you can do it like this.. Hope it helps..
I just download android studio, set it up and installed everything from the sdk.
i noticed now that my sdk location is on this path: c:\users\myname\appdata\... that location is hidden, so i have to show the hidden folders to access it.
should I move that folder to inside the android studio folder?
and what should I do in order to tell the android studio that the sdk folder has been changed, or the android studio will know that itself? and promote me to set the new location?
If you would like easier manual access to the files of the SDK, yes you should change it. Just move it to a location you prefer and when you launch android Studio it will notice that the default SDK location has been destroyed, so it will ask you to tell it where the SDK is, just tell it the location of the SDK.
