How to update Android Studio automatically? - android

I need to Update Android Studio, to the 0.9.9 version, but when I press "Download" (On the update info dialog box) it sends me here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Isn't there a way to make the update happen automatically, because I don't even know how to update it manually.
Also, in the dialog, there is this recommendation:
To configure automatic update settings, see the Updates dialog of your IDE Settings.
The word "Updates" is a link, but it doesn't work.

For this task, I recommend using Android Studio IDE and choose the automatic installation program, and not the compressed file.
On the top menu, select Help -> Check for Update...
Upon the updates dialog below, select Updates link to configure your IDE settings.
For checking updates, my suggestion is to select the Dev channel. I
don't recommend Beta or Canary
channel which is the unstable version and they are not automatic installation, instead a zip file is provided in that case.
When finished with the configuration, select Update and Restart for downloading the installation EXE.
Run the installation.
Warning: Among different version of Android Studio, the steps may be different. But hopefully you get the idea, as I try to be clear on my intentions.
Extra info: If you want, check for Android Studio updates # Android Tools Project Site - Recent Builds. This web page seems to be more accurate than other Android pages about tool updates.

The simplest way to update is as follows:
Go to the start screen for Android Studio. If it automatically opens a project when you open it, close that project (not exit).
At the bottom there will be a check for updates link which you can use to update to the latest version.

There's not always an updater between versions, depending on the version you're starting from and what you're updating to. If that happens, download the full installer and reinstall Android Studio.

Here's the easiest way, as in snapshot,
download the required file and install.

On the startup screen you can use the configure button to check for updates.
1) Choose configure > Check for Update
2) Download the latest updates

Through Android Studio:
Help
Check for latest update
Update

for windows users
go to HELP> CHECK FOR UPDATES>UPDATE(click the link updates)

If you go to help>>check for updates it will tell you if there's an update.
You don't have to change from the stable channel. If you aren't offered an update and restart button, kindly close the window and try again. After about 4 or 5 checks like this, it will eventually show you update and restart button.
Why? because google.

If you are already using Android Studio, you can update via the built in Update mechanism (Check For Updates); make sure you switch to the canary or beta channels if you're not being offered an update.
To configure automatic update settings, see the Updates dialog of your IDE Preferences or settings. You can then switch to either the canary or beta channels. (The default is "stable" but probably that one fails to automatically inform of updates).
Hope it helps. Thanks.

These steps are for the people who already have Android Studio installed on their Windows machine >>>
Steps to download the update:
Google for “Update android studio”
Choose the result from “tools.android.com”
Download the zip file (it’s around 500 MB).
Steps to install Android Studio from a .zip folder:
Open the .zip folder using Windows Explorer.
click on 'Extract all' (or 'Extract all files') option in the ribbon.
Go to the extract location. And then to android-studio\bin and run studio.exe ifyou’re on 32bit OS, or studio64.exe if you’re on 64bit OS.
By then, the Andriod Studio should open and configure your uppdates

I am having a similar problem while updating from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3.
Go to the bin folder of your Android Studio installation folder:
e.g.
cd opt/android-studio/bin
Provide run permission for studio.sh file: chmod +x studio.sh
Run Android Studio from here: ./studio.sh
and try "update and restart" from android studio.

as of AS 1.2+ there is an auto-check for updates which will let you choose between the stable, dev, canary, and beta channels. However it is just a check instead of a full update script. It does require that you click to install and restart your install ( A problem for a remote server situation)

Yes you are right. There is no built in mechanism for automatically updation of Android Studio. You have to manually download it and configure it.

MacOS users
//Manually
Android Studio -> Check for Updates...
//Check Automatically
Android Studio -> Preferences... -> Appearance & Behaviour > System Settings > Updates -> Automatically check updates for <channel>
//Check Now

I think in the new versions of android studio there is no update and restart when you press check for updates from the android studio, so you have to download the newer version from their official website and install it manually. First, you have to change the name of the previous setup version folder for Example Android Studio to Android Studio1, and you can now install the newer version and everything will be the same as before.

Android Studio SDK is missing

I had a USB connection problem when I debug and updated BIOS then, the laptop had problem with drive so, I needed to recover it. So, I recovered it with removing all the applications and just kept my personal files.
And I downloaded and installed Android Studio again, and SDK missing problem occurred like below:
I can't see 'SDK' when I install Android Studio from here. So, I can't select any.
I tried with SDK Manager. I can't install any versions with "Your Android SDK is missing, out of date, or corupted." error.
I tried Update. But nothing changed. (Updated to 3.3.1, but failed to Sync SDKs ERROR.)
Some people on Stack-overflow suggested to download SDK separately, but their links just show Android Studio installer, which I already installed. Maybe the links were so old.
"C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk" does not exists.
I uninstalled Android Studio include User setting and reinstalled it.(There is no such thing that I can select previous version kind of thing.) But the result is the same.
TL;DR This is sometimes caused by Windows registry settings retained with the current AndroidStudio project. To fix, just startup Android Studio and then close the current project (File -> Close Project). If this was the problem, AS will now go into a long update and restart cycle to repair itself, but will end with success.
I also recommend that you then change AS settings to not open the last project on Startup (Settings -> System Settings -> Reopen projects on startup)
Windows 10, Android Studio v3.6 and v4.0.
This one drove me nuts! I had the same problem - my SDK seemed to be corrupt so I did a full Uninstall (v3.6) and Install (4.0) of Android Studio and when Android Studio started up I got the same message Android SDK is missing.
The SDK Manager in Tools wasn't working.
I went to the link and there was nothing to download the SDK. So I installed the file which looked a bit like the SDK, commandlinetools-win-6514223_latest.zip, unzipped, and then tried to use the missing SDK dialog to include it in AS, and no joy.
BUT - I noticed that after an uninstall and fresh install Android Studio still came up with the last project I was working on so I guessed it must be something in the windows registry (rather than AS settings). I closed that project and AS suddenly popped up a dialog to install the SDK!
After a big download and install, Android Studio returned with the SDK (and SDK manager) all functioning!
So - just startup Android Studio and then close the current project (File -> Close Project)!
How I did a complete re-install.
Uncheck the "Keep Settings" (or similar) option in the Uninstall dialog, but export your settings first (File -> Export Settings). I found it easy to: Export settings; Complete Uninstall; Download and Install; Import Settings;. But, or course, there were several massive downloads. Still don't know why the last open file came up after the fresh install. It's probably in the registry, so, if there are still problems then you'll have to clear AS from the registry as well. Which sounds painful.
If android sdk is deleted, go to :
SDK manager -> edit -> next ..
I solved this problem with connecting android-sdk folder in C drive.
I reinstalled my OS. But hopefully, I kept my personal folders. So, I could find that folder.
However, If you don't have SDK folder, you may need to install SDK by yourself.

"The following SDK components were not installed: sys-img-x86-addon-google_apis-google-22 and addon-google_apis-google-22"

I'm Windows 7 64-bit user and I got Android Studio problem after I update the latest version of Android Studio and SDK components..
The following SDK components were not installed: sys-img-x86-addon-google_apis-google-22 and addon-google_apis-google-22
Please help me to resolve this problem. Thank you.
I had the same issue when trying to upgrade Android Studio from 1.1 to 1.2 on Mac OS 10.10.
I solved the problem by selecting custom installation instead of standard. Also we need to select the Android SDK Platform (Lollipop 5.1).
Choose the new UI Design >> next
Just try to cancel the "Downloading Components" from upper right
corner 'X' button.
A dialog box will appear then click OK (wait a bit for first time
launch)
I uninstall Only Android studio (keep the SDK and Emulator) and then reinstall it just android studio. took me 2 minutes and my android studio work again.
I had this same problem, but I'm a Linux user.
I resolved the problem by reattempting the installation with adminstrator privileges. [For those Linux users reading this, I ran studio.sh with sudo.]
I just click 'Retry' and it's ok! Also run on Win7 64-bit.
TRY BELOW SOLUTIONS.
SOLUTION 1:
-> Run Android Studio as Administrator (this is only required for first run or when any issues arise due to automatic updates on any run in future).
Though it shows API 23 is or any other updates are not installed (and wouldn't show any 'Retry' button), BUT still the download and installation of rest of the updates would proceed (you can see the download progress incrementing even after seeing the above errors). So, DO NOT ABORT the operation.
-> At the end of installation (after rest of successful updates are installed) it would this time display the "Retry" button to retry installation for API 23 or any other versions which had failed earlier. Then click the "Retry" button, it would work this time.
This would resolve your issue with successful installation.
-> Next time onward no need to run Android studio as Administrator, unless it does any automatic updates and shows similar issues.
SOLUTION 2:
-> Alternative approach is to install any updates (which ever failed in earlier attempt) from Android SDK Manager first and then later launch Android Studio (which would not need any check for updates and any additional installations).
To install any features or updates, run Android SDK manager as administrator (run as administrator is not mandatory for this but preferred to avoid any permissions related issues) and check the required options and proceed with the installation without any issues.
SOLUTION 3:
-> If still your issue is not resolved, then try the proxy solution as suggested by others or check your internet connectivity if it's working properly or not.
*Any of the above solutions should resolve your issues.
go to c->users->[Your user account]-> remove android 1.2 and restart the android studio
when it ask to import select first radio button which is import setting from previous config
there you go fixed
I am using Windows 7 Professional and I was having same problem #Bayu Mohammad Lufty not worked for me.
I simply delete .AndroidStudio1.2 from my C:\Users\UserName\ and restart my Android studio again.
It open Android Studio perfectly!
It configured everything again in next start :)
I'm a MacOS user.
I solved it by uninstalling Android Studio and reinstalling it again.
If you want to try this link helped me a lot.
Uninstall Android Studio MacOS (terminal)
When you are installing Android Studio, under Install type do not use standard setting, use custom setting instead, and check all the option boxes in the next step.
i have solve my same problem
i update my android studio, and i choose not to import my setting from my previous version than that problem appear.
than i realize that i have 2 AndroidStudio folder on my windows account (.AndroidStudio and .AndroidStudio1.2) and on my new .AndroidStudio1.2 folder there are no other.xml file.
than i copy other.xml file from C:\Users\my windows account name.AndroidStudio\config\options to C:\Users\my windows account name.AndroidStudio1.2\config\options
and that how i solve my problem.
I'm using UBUNTU and I got this same error. I restarted the set up using sudo and did a custom install. This solved my problem!
--More Specific--
re-installed using # sudo ./studio.sh
then I made sure to click "Custom Install"
then I made sure all packages were selected.
And I got this message Android virtual device Nexus_5_API_22_x86 was successfully created
I just run:
C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\SDK Manager.exe
Install SDK Platform Android M Preview
And run Android Studio again.
It's working for me :D
When this error occured I first clicked retry for few times and waited for 2 minutes and clicked 'retry' then it installed without any error.(for 2 minutes I was searching to solve this problem online).
I was getting an "out of space" error, which left me scratching my head as I had plenty of disk space, until I realized that it ran out of space on /tmp, which on Arch Linux is mounted on a tmpfs with a size limit.

Android studio first run stuck at "Downloading Components" window

I have downloaded the latest android studio bundle from android site. Installation was successful, but when I run it for the first time, it shows a window in the screenshot with message "Downloading Android SDK Tools, revision 24.1.2" and then it hangs on infinitely.
When I click on cancel and then show details, the message in attached screenshot appears. This dialog never disappears even on clicking the close button. I have to end it from process manager.
I was wondering if anyone has been able to make it work.
To disable "Downloading Components" at startup,
Go to the installation directory of Android Studio.
There you will find a folder named "bin".
Inside this folder there is a file named "idea.properties".
Open this file and add the following line to the end of the file:
disable.android.first.run=true
What this will do is disable the check that Android Studio performs on first run and decides to download all that stuff.
If it asks to save the file at some different place instead of overwriting the original one, please check the access permissions to the file.
To me it has worked perfectly. You have to download all data for the sdk and can be several GB and can take a long time depending on connection and repositories
If you got stuck earlier and left in middle of download, this may happen
Just go to
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android
and delete the SDK folder and now try again.
It's actually a bug with the Setup Wizard. See more here
You could try to download the previous stable release: 1.0.2 or 1.0.1.
EDIT
After further testing, apparently if you force close adb the wizard continues normally.
its not stuck. its actually downloading some tools.
if we download like this or through SDK manager.exe the speed is limited.
so it will take much time.
so i tried to open it without internet connection and it showed me some missing tools.
(andoid sdk tool 21.1.1 )
i had 21.1.2 installed but it still showed this. so i manually downloaded it from
internet ( here you will get your max download speed). and placed it with 21.1.2 installation file.
and now it all works.
ps:it was the only file i missed. it won't be the same with everyone
it is a reported bug and I am facing it too in version 1.2.0 see this
Components of the SDK are continuously released and Android Studio's updates aren't very frequent.
You can update the components manually with SDK Manager.
Go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Open SDK Manager.exe
Update the packages.
Start Android Studio.

Android Studio Not Including SDK

I'm trying to setup Android Studio on a new install of Mac OS X Yosemite. I downloaded the Android Studio Beta v0.8.14 from here: https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html and upon launching it complained about not having an SDK (although the download page indicates it should include the SDK). I tried searching after installing for the SDK and can't find it (a few other posts indicate /Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk but that location doesn't exist). Where is the SDK installed and what is required to set it up?
Go to the SDK Manager and click Edit... next to the field for the location of the SDK. Then an "SDK Setup" window should display. There you can download the SDK.
Edit: This answer is deprecated as Android Studio seems to bundle everything since a while already.
Old answer
It seems the android-studio-bundle version is no longer available in the download page (instead there are only android-studio-ide). When you start Android Studio, it won't let you create a new projet until you configure the SDK location.
That means you have to download the SDK separately here, extract it somewhere, and configure it on Configure->Project Defaults->Project Structure. After that, the SDK Manager icon will be enabled and you can download the tools you want.
I had the same problem on Windows. After I re-installed it a few times, I found that the SDK was installed but hidden in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk.
Information for Windows
For some reason, which I have no time to investigate, Android seems to provide, currently, the IDE and the SDK separately, while in the Dev Webpage says the opposite.
This is the "complete" (false!) tool I have just downloaded: android-studio-ide-171.4443003-windows.exe (SDK is missing here, note the "ide" in the file name).
And this is the real complete tool I had downloaded few months ago, from the same place...: android-studio-bundle-162.3871768-windows.exe
Note that this last one has the "bundle" in the file name.
Please, download the bundle (IDE+SDK) from here:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/install/2.3.1.0/android-studio-bundle-162.3871768-windows.exe?hl=ko
I want to suppose (¿?) that similar link you can find for Linux or macOS just Googling for it.
Hope this helps!
It worked like this for me
Downloaded the Android Studio
Install Android Studio
Open Android Studio after installation.
You will get a dialog box to import settings if you already have Intellij installed on your machine. Say "Do not Import". Otherwise continue to next step.
It will ask you in the dialog box to pre-configure such as theme, path etc.
Just click next next...and then Finish. You will see the SDK tool will start downloading.
After installation is finished. You can find it in this path: C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
If you have ever installed Android Studio before and then removed it, it won't reinstall the SDK automatically (speculation: some Windows setting somewhere).
The solution is starting Android Studio and then
File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Restore Default Settings
This will wipe any custom settings you don't have at this point and trigger the SDK install
What Pablo wrote is misleading.
This is the "complete" (false!) tool I have just downloaded:
android-studio-ide-171.4443003-windows.exe (SDK is missing here, note
the "ide" in the file name).
Yes, it is IDE only, but after you install this IDE and first time run it, SDK will be downloaded automatically. So there is no need to download some outdated bundles. Just use default "green button" on https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
I'm using Ubuntu, and had previously installed Android Studio. It was using too much space, so I deleted it. Now when I downloaded it and started ./studio.sh, it found my previous installation configuration directory and asked to import from there. I did, and then this problem occurred.
I put the directory .Android Studio 3.3 in the trash and restarted ./studio.sh, and it imported the SDK automatically for me. That was good, because I couldn't find it where it was supposed to be according to the dialog box. The 3.3 above is from the version of Android Studio I was installing.
in my case, my country is forbidden from google, and my PC's time zone was set by my counrty.
after I change my timezone to another country my problem solved and android studio download SDK and nkd easily
Re-install studio. If ANDROID_HOME is set to custom location then it will install sdk there else it will install SDK in C:\Users<user name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Note:this is a temporary fix
If you have Eclipse then you can use that SDK for emulation.
Just run the sdk manager and emulate a version of android. Then while you are asking for emulating something ie while running code it will show your emulator as online and you can even use it.
Hope this helps you.
All the Best...

issue in installing ADT 8.0.1 in eclipse galileo

In eclipse i updated installed packages for Android SDK Tools from revision 2 to revision 8.
Now when i am trying to install the ADT plugin 8.0.1 (help->install new sw).
I select the path of the zip folder in my local (ADT-8.0.1.zip) and check on all Android DDMS,Android Development Tools,Android Hierarchy Viewer
and click on next button
The screen shows something as " Calculating requirements and dependencies " and gets stuck there.
Pls suggest where am i going wrong. Thanks in advance.
This happens from time to time. Don't ask me why tho.
Just try it again and it should work.
This happens because the Eclipse is over-zealous in checking ALL-THE-FREAKING Dependencies available. A possible solution that worked for me can be found in this post of mailing list.
It tells to do all the updates before installing any new plugins.
Steps
Go to Windows / Preferences, select Install / Update and then click on the
link for Automatic Updates, change the settings to:
Look for updates each time the platform is started
Search for updates and notify me when they are available
Notify me once about updates Click on apply and then Ok.
Restart Eclipse, let the auto-update run. Then go to Help/ Check for
Updates; and then install whatever updates it presents, mostly it is:
Java Development
Web and Java EE Development
Click Install and wait for the updates to be downloaded / installed. Restart
Eclipse when asked.
Done, worked for me in every case(Subversion and Android).
