I have a problem with Android 0.4.2 Studio, when creating a new application, it tells me there is a problem with the rendering and shows me the following problem:
Renderering Problems
No Android SDK found. Please configure an Android SDK.
My setup SDK and JDK is this: Android SDK location: C:\adt-bundle-windows\sdk, I put the path I use in Eclipse SDK, or there may be the problem, if someone has happened and what has been fixed, I'd like to give me the solution, thank you very much.
I just encountered and solve a similar problem.
First you should check the directory like other threads described. Then you can check whether the Build tool version matches your SDK version.
(e.g. for my project, in build.gradle file, you have:)
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.1" }
and then open you SDK manager, make sure you have the same version of sdk(21.1.1) installed in the selected directoriy:
If not, install it and restart Android Studio. It works for me.
I've also seen other guys saying run Android Studio as administrator would also help:
https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/i-am-getting-this-warning-message-rendering-problems-no-android-sdk-found-please-configure-an-android-sdk
I got the same "No Android SDK Found" error message... plus no rendering for Design window, no little cellphone screen.
My SDK path was correct, pointing to where the (downloaded during setup) SDK lives.
During Setup of the SDK Mgr, I didn't download the latest "preview edition (version 20)"...(I thought it better to use the next most recent version (19)) Later I found, there was no dropdown choice in the AVD Manager to pick Version 19, only the default value of the preview, 20.
I thought "Maybe the rendering was based on a version that wasn't present yet." So, I downloaded all the "preview edition's (version 20)" SDK Platform (2) and system images (4)...
Once download/install completed,
RESTARTED Android Studio and Viola! success... error message gone, rendering ok.
From the File menu, choose Project Structure (if you're running 0.4.4 there's a bug and the menu item doesn't have a title, but it still works), and choose the Android SDK item. You should see something like this where you can set up your JDK and SDK.
After setting it, quit Android Studio and relaunch it for good measure.
i have just discovered, android studio 3.0.1 has no sdk during the installation. because during the installation, it doesn't give sdk as part of install able unlike in recent versions of android studio.
Don't worry just change the
build.gradle
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.41'
to previous version.
It worked for me hope it works for you too.
Happy coding.
According to the Android Studio download page, the SDK comes bundled with Android Studio. It has its own copy when you install Android Studio.
ADT is a plugin for Eclipse. Try reading through that webpage to see if there is something that got missed when installing.
Here is the wording from the site, regarding ADT:
Similar to Eclipse with the ADT Plugin, Android Studio provides integrated Android developer tools for development and debugging.
I wanted to share a part of the issue I had because it is the first google result.
I installed Android Studio, when I tried to install my first SDK from the SDK Management windows I got the error that I didn't have any SDK installed.
I tried to look on the internet to manually download the .zip,manualy create the folder, no luck what so ever.
When I tried to run the Android Studio as an administrator it detected I didn't have any SDK and prompt me right away at startup to download a SDK.
Do following steps
a) Change minSdkVersion and sync gradle
b) Revert back your minSdkVersion and sync gradle again
It will be resolved.
These days, Android Studio setup do not provide SDK as the part of original package.
In the context of windows, when you start Android Studio 1.3.1, you see the error message saying no sdk found. You just have to proceed and provide the path where sdk can be downloaded. And you are done.
Here is the solution just copy your SDK Manager.exe file at the root folder of your android studio's installation, Sync your project and cheers... here is the link for details.
running Android Studio on Windows 7 fails, no Android SDK found
Try make New Project, and then choose same android version that you've installed sdk verions on "Target Android Device" dialog.
In my case, error message gone.
I had the same problem, Android Studio just could not identify the android-sdk folder. All I did was to uninstall and reinstall android studio, and this time it actually identified the folder. Hope it also works out for you.
Download android sdk through this sdk manager https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.3-macosx.zip
(note this link is for mac)
open android studio, click next, open where it ask to add path where u downloaded sdk..... add it... click next, it will downloaad updates..... and it done
Right now, the last version of Android Studio bundled (Windows IDE bundle with SDK (64-bit)) with Android SDK is version 2.3.3:
https://developer.android.com/studio/archive.html#android-studio-2-3-3
which size is about 2GB.
You can use it and then upgrade to the latest version of Android Studio.
I am on Mac Os. In my case, my host file was black. I added following entries (these entries should be there by default, but they weren't).
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost

After re-running android studio, it prompted the sdk download.
I fixed this bug changing the proxy configuration:

I am completely new to Android App Development and I'm trying to learn to develop apps through IntelliJ IDEA. When I try to open the activity_main.xml file, I get a prompt saying, "Design editor is unavailable until after a successful project sync", and when I try to sync, I get this error. This happens even after installing all Android versions (including 32) through Android SDK settings.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Here is the image of the error when trying to sync gradle
The problem that Intellij IDEA doesn't have Android SDK configured. In particular - Android SDK 32. Even if you see that it is installed in the SDK Manager.
I don't remember when we started to see this issue. But it's easy to fix. It's is one time exercise for new installations only.
How to fix this:
Install Android SDK 32 (or any other required) in SDK Manager what you can find in IDEA preferences.
Install JDK 11. Probably this is why IDEA has not configured Android SDKs automatically. The IDEA itself already runs on JDK 17 or higher.
Open your Android project (or just any project in IDEA), go to Project Settings -> SDKs. Press "+" menu button on top and select "Add Android SDK...". Select your root "android sdk" folder. Then choose SDK you needed.
Press OK. Press "Sync Gradle Project" again.
Have Fun.
BTW, after years on Android apps development I would prefer Intellij IDEA over too buggy Android Studio. You on the right way ;)
I'm trying to setup IntelliJ IDEA to develop android applications and I faced an issue with android sdk. As far as I know, I need to download the sdk separately. But I all I managed to find was Android command line tools which is obviously not something I need. So my question how can I get android sdk for IntelliJ IDEA?
You can install whichever android SDK or API from Intellij. I have the 2018.1 version but I hope this works in earlier versions too. You can find the options to install the SDKs here:
Same problem I have with IDEA 2017.1.1. I installed tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip and managed to install them.
I've done:
unzipped it to C:\Android\android_sdk\
renamed "tools" folder to "tools-sdk"
executed
C:\Android\android_sdk\tools_inst\bin>sdkmanager --update
prepared file my_file with lines:
build-tools;24.0.0
platforms;android-24
tools
emulator
Executed:
C:\Android\android_sdk\tools_inst\bin>sdkmanager --package_file=my_file
Then gave IntelliJ IDEA folder C:\Android\android_sdk as Android SDK Home Folder.
Then IDEA asks to install something additional. The test android project compiles and runs on emulation (AVD Manager works). I had to install 22 Platform and Build Tools though because android-24 virtual device asked for a password.
The only problem is I still have no SDK Manager with GUI interface.
First of all make sure you'be setup JDK properly. If not, you can download it from here.
Now go to Android Developer official site and download Android Studio.
If you are already done with above mentioned points the few point you might be missing.
When asked to choose the JDK (not SDK) you need to choose the Java JDK which 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.
Please let me know if it didn't help.

I had the same issue. I tried downloading sdk via android eclipse setup process. Eclipse automatically downloads the sdk. This sdk has a gui sdkmanager and can be used in idea as well. Here is the link to download eclipse.
(Android Studio installed on my computer.)
As i see users missed a point while installing android SDK.
You should show the Android SDK at AppData folder to IntellijIdea.
C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\Android\SDK_Folder.

You can download the android SDK from this link here. I hope it should be helpful that link.
I just downloaded xamarin studio. I get an error message "disconnected from layout renderer please close the file and try again" whenever i open a axml in the layout folder. I can view the source but can't go to the design tab to add controls. Closing the filed does not work.
I'm not sure how to find what version of xamarin.android i'm using but I just downloaded last night. When I go to the SDK manager it tells me my Android SDK Tools are version 23.0.4.
I found this old thread on the same topic. I tried renaming my tools folder and downgrading but that didnt' work either. It told me I need tools of at least version 22.

I've tried uninstalling Xamarin Studio and reinstalling and that didn't help. I do have Visual Studio 2013 with update 3 installed too. But then I also tried installing Xamarin Studio on another laptop with Visual Studio 2012 and got the exact same problem.
Note: this error displays in both Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio.
I really hope I can get this resolved as i'm evaluating Xamarin for 2 companies. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Only this time, you need to downgrade from 23.0.4 to 23.0.2.
Just found this out the hard way.

Thank you Balint! You made my weekend!!! Here is a direct link to the tools version that works.

I recently had this same issue when trying to open the main.xaml in Xamarin Studio for Mac OS X. Here are the steps I took to resolve the problem:
Open the Android SDK Manager in Xamarin Studio and delete the Android SDK Tools.
Re-download the SDK Tools from [https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=i]. Revision 23.0.2
Make sure the downloaded SDK is unzipped in the path /Users/username/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx
Then I launched the SDK Manager from the Terminal using cd library/developer/xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/tools ./android
When the SDK launches, make sure the Android SDK Tools is not selected, else it will update it to 23.0.5 which appears to currently be broken.
After the SDK Manager updates and installs all the packages, re-open Xamarin Studio and go to Preferences -> SDK Locations -> Android and chose the path for the Android SDK.
After following these steps I was able to successfully open the main.xaml files for Android on OS X.
I'm trying to run AVD/SDK manager from Android Studio. Each time the dialog pops up.
It's strange because i'm already specified Android SDK.
Is there any another place where i should add Android SDK path ? Thanks
I do not use Android studio, but suppose you need specify SDK in Modules scection
Simply perform these 3 steps
Open gradle.buld in your app module
Change minSdkVersion and sync gradle
Revert back your minSdkVersion and sync gradle again
For me, in the wake of a Windows Easy Transfer that didn't 100% work, the answer was to do the following, and the key step is in bold:
File->Close Project
Click "Configure"
Click "SDK Manager"
Select the appropriate Android API, e.g., "Android 4.3 (API 18)" for the project
While you're here, also select the appropriate Android SDK Build-tools, e.g., 18.1.1
Click "Install packages..."
Close out and reopen your project, and you should have no problem accessing the SDK Manager via Tools->Android->SDK Manager
Note: You can determine which versions of the Android SDK and SDK Build-tools you need by inspecting your build.gradle file. In my case, I had the following lines:
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion "18.1.1"
My experience is somewhat peculiar, because I recently migrated from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 using Windows Easy Transfer. When I did this, my local git repository and some of my Android Studio settings transferred over, but apparently not everything. When I installed Android Studio on the new machine, I set my ANDROID_HOME environment variable, then opened Android Studio, and it immediately put me in the project I had most recently opened on the old machine. My fresh install of Android Studio didn't include the Android 4.3 SDK, and it seems that jumping straight into the project threw SDK Manager for a loop.
Prior to performing the above sequence of steps, I confirmed that my ANDROID_HOME was correctly set. I also tried setting the project default SDK, as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18409923/315702. AND I tried setting the SDK within the Project Structure of the project that was giving me trouble. None of these things fixed my particular problem.
I fixed the issue by setting correct android sdk
Android Studio->project structure->Modules(app)->properties tab-> set the correct SDK
You can simply tap Sync Gradle
Nice and Clean !!!
For me, what did the trick was changing the compileSdkVersion 19 to compileSdkVersion "Google Inc.:Google APIs:19" so it uses the Google API platform instead of just the 19 platform.
Right click on your project and select Project Structure, on left hand select sdks and in right panel browse your sdk from sdk folder like (adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030 folder for Windows)
For me even simpler steps worked:
Open buld.gradle in app module
Add a space or newline on any line's
end
Sync gradle
Note I am on Android Studio 2.x , but solution should hold for earlier versions of android studio as well
My environment is not exactly same as yours. I am using Android Studio 0.5.2 (android-studio-bundle-130.737825-windows.exe). I also met the "Please specify the Android SDK" message as your screenshot.
After some investigation, I notice the "SDK Manager" binary was missing in the Android Studio. Then I installed adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130917.zip. In Android Studio - File - Project Structure - Android SDK - Android SDK location, fill in the folder for adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130917\sdk. And everything was OK.
I downloaded Android Studio, fixed the JDK Environmental Variable, but when I try to create a New Project, I get an error that says
Your Android SDK is out of date or is missing templates. Please ensure you are using SDK version 22 or later.
I opened up android.bat in the SDK but it said I was already running version 22.
Anyone else getting this?
It just happened because you already have your SDK setted up for Android Developers Bundle with eclipse. Simply open your SDK manager in the ADT Bundle and update you Android SDK Tools from 21.1 to 22 and you are good to go.
Worked for me.
First of all, on Windows and Mac, the individual tools and other SDK packages are saved with the Android Studio application directory.
Windows: \Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio\sdk\
Mac: /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/sdk/
Make sure your android-sdk-path is correct and the sdk tool version is 22 or later.
Then open the Configure--> Project Defaults --> Project Structure, set your project sdk is Android SDK.
enjoy.
As for me, I make next:
Start Eclipse -> start SDK -> install selected packages
Eclipse -> Help -> check for updates -> update all
Android Studio -> configure -> Project Defaults -> Project structure -> Press plus -> Android SDK -> put path to the same sdk that you use in eclipse (run SDK and in top panel you can see this path).
Apply
I did all of the above and still got the ....missing templates blah blah. What worked for me was to go to Configure>Project Defaults>Project Structure>Project and select Android SDK, then Configure>Project Defaults>Project Structure>SDKs map the Android SDK home path to the sdk folder in the ADT bundle (for me it was C:\Users\home\Toolbox\adt-bundle-windows-x86\sdk).
I then selected Android 4.1.2 clicked apply and it worked.
I then went back to the Configure>Project Defaults>Project Structure>SDKs and then selected Android 4.2.2 and now that worked too (strange though as when I selected Android 4.2.2 first time the Apply button was grayed out)
I ran into this problem because I wanted to update from an old version. In doing this, I downloaded the latest version from the Project Tools Site, then unzipped and copied over my existing Android Studio install which did have the sdk folder inside.
Going back and looking at it, I see quite plainly that there was a note that I previously ignored:
NOTE: These .zip files do not contain an embedded SDK install. If you have an existing install of Studio which contains an embedded SDK, if you upgrade by installing one of these zips, make sure you copy over the SDK as well.
For OS X users, this means going to your old version of Android Studio (if you haven't copied over it yet) and right-clicking and selecting Show Package Contents, then copying the sdk folder that's inside, then putting that into the new version of Android Studio.
If, like me, you already copied over the old version, then you'll need to redownload the old version first which does contain the SDK.
They released a new sdk today. You need to update to it.
I was still hitting this, and figured it was due to something I had misconfigured (which turned out to be the case). The error message is a little confusing, too, because I believe that they are referring to is the version of the ADT tools, not the SDK. For example, the version of Android 4.3 (which is about the latest) is 18.
As of the latest source for Android Studio (which you can clone from here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/adt/idea), that message is generated from NewProjectWizard.java at about line 75 if TemplateManager.templatesAreValid() is false. And it checks that by looking for the existence of the file [rootTemplatesFolder]/gradle/wrapper/gradlew .
It gets the [rootTemplatesFolder] from the SDK(s) you specified in the "Project Structure" settings for default projects. In my case, I had several specified - both the new ones pointing to the sdk directory that's (thankfully) part of the Android Studio, and a few old ones I had somewhere else. I should not have included the old ones at all, but I'm a newb to this and the GUI let me do it. The NewProjectWizard was checking the tools area of that one first, which did not have that file, since the tools version with it was older than version 22.
I had to use dtruss to watch the system calls of Android Studio to see where it was looking for that file, at which point I could tell what my silly problem was.
I have a few more notes on this, including a screenshot of my particular misconfiguration, at http://www.nowherenearithaca.com/2013/08/solved-android-studio-and-your-android.html
Note: It seems you have to restart Android Studio for the "New Project Settings" here to take effect.
for ubuntu:
Open sdk manager from Android Studio or configuration.
make sure you download or update the latest release SDK and build tools.
Set the sdk location as (your android folder/sdk)
It'll download and install sdk
just Update sdk with sdk manager
it worked for me
