I am using Android Studio for development (I/O Preview 0.2.3) and have used AS since I started my current project. Every time I open the project I get the Frameworks detected: Android framework is detected in the project Configure message in the event log. I can click Configure and it sorts things out straight away but its happens every time I open the project.
Its not really causing any issues, more of an annoyance than anything. Is there anyway of making AS remember that this is an Android project?
If Android Studio notices a difference in the path to the android SDK folder on disk and the path mentioned in your local.properties file, it will prompt and upon confirmation update the path in local.properties. I think you local.properties file is not retaining the change in SDK path once you close the project. Check you check if something is reverting the changes.
Also, try saving the local.properties file manually after updating the sdk.dir property with correct path..
It looks like this in the local.properties file.
# change the SDK path below to match the folder on your system
sdk.dir=D\:\\Android\\android-sdk
Try to import projectrather than just opening the project.
File --> New--> Import Project
Try open the SDK Manager and check if Android Support Repository is installed. If not, install if and reopen the project.
Change then name of your project. I had the same problem, because my project had name like "Smile&Smile" and the symbol & crashed normal assembly of my project. Also, don't use symbols like &, !, "",'' in the name of projects.
Just change first row with your build.gradle.
try use
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

I'm currently testing Android O for my published Android application.
And my Gradle fails each time because it is looking for file in : "C:\Users\M?lanie.gradle\caches".
As you can see my name contains a problematic character and I've already move my Android sdk because of it.
How can I move the .gradle folder too ?
I've tried to set the "GRADLE_USER_HOME" to "C:\Android\gradle" (the folder exists) but Android Studio still behaves the same way.
To change its path
go to this path File > Settings... > Build, Execution, Deployment > Gradle
In the Global Gradle settings
Change Service directory path to what you want.
Hope this works
Currently, to Change the .gradle folder location for Android studio, you must:
Define the GRADLE_USER_HOME environment variable to point to C:\WorkFolder\.gradle.
You can read more in the Configure the IDE docs.
I've found some webpage but it does not guide me back to normal android project view.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio-androidview.html
I did File => Other Settings => Default Project Structure => Default Settings => OK It make even worse, import library become not function-able.
I also had this problem (creating new project also looked similar to IntelliJ IDEA), got it fixed when I enabled some Android-related plugins.
Go to Preferences (Settings on Windows and Linux) > Plugins and enable Android Support, at a minimum.
Now you will have "Android" option in the Project View.
Try:
View -> Tool Windows -> Project OR the shortcut is alt+1.
If that's not working try:
Window -> Restore Default Layout OR the shortcut is shift+F12.
Also, check that Studio is up to date:
Help -> Check for update...
None of the above solutions worked for me so I fixed this by removing the .gradle and .idea folders from my project.
The square at the bottom left corner of android studio lets you spread the screen or it populates it with side menus.
For me, it happened when I used Kotlin KTS for Gradle files, but created a java library module for this project. After trying to reimport project I got an error:
New Gradle Sync is not supported due to containing buildSrc module
Solution:
Migrate added module to kts
Remove created by Wizard settings.gradle, if you already use settings.gradle.kts
Reimport project
File -> Close project
Android Studio: import project
Show it your current project location
Just had the problem happen to me again. I got the problem solved, but unfortunately I can't confirm the solution, now that it's fix; but I have strong suspicions on what was the cause.
In my case, the problem occurred as a result of reorganizing my project directory. My projects are stored in given directory lets call it "Projects". I renamed that fold to "ProjectsBackup" and created a new "Projects" directory. I then moved selected projects now contained in the "ProjectBackup" directory to the new "Projects" directory. After moving the first project, I used Android Studio to open that project. That's when the problem occurred. I got a message that it couldn't find the gradle-wrapper and offered me the choice to create it. The gradle-wrapper is stored in a directory call "gradle" and its stored in the "Projects" directory. I had not copied that directory over from the "ProjectsBackup" to the new "Projects" directory. At the time, I thought nothing about that since, a new one was created. After trying all the various suggestion in this problem discussion, android studio offered a notification from me to update my "android gradle" plugin. I did the update and after that the "android" view was now available for me to select. The android gradle update fixed the problem.
I unfortunately, can't tell you what changed as a result of the update, nor can I tell you how you can force Android Studio to update or reinstall the android gradle plugin. All I can tell you is that I got lucky that android studio gave me that notification to update the android gradle plugin. Things like "file/project structure" and changing the Android Gradle Plugin Version, didn't fix the problem. What I did notice, was that when I first looked at that, the drop-down list of android gradle versions was an empty list. I manually put one in "3.6.3", but it didn't help. If you run into this problems I would suggest you look at the dates of the two file in the "wrapper" directory and compare those to projects you may have that are working correctly with the android view. I wish I would have checked the date of the wrapper jar file, when it wasn't working. That's what I think might have been wrong (i.e. I got a wrapper.jar file that was incompatible with my version of android studio - unfortunately I can't prove that)
problem solve i have click this button
I have just imported my eclipse project in android studio. it keeps my saying that
Error:SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable.
I have seen some tutorials of editing local.properties files but it didnt work. here is my project.properties file:
sdk.dir=E:\\Mod Eclipse\\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\\sdk
Actual directory of my folder is :
E:\Mod Eclipse\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk
A quick note about this if trying to run a Facebook sample and this error pops up, make sure you select the build.gradle file in the root of Facebook sdk, for all the samples when 'opening an existing project'. I got this error when I tried to open the gradle for just the Scrumptious sample from the 3.22 SDK
If you are sure that you have assigned correct SDK path in project settings,
and you can see it in local.properties as well, but still getting this error then there are chances that you are missing something in you project.
I was getting the same error after looking in to my project I found settings.gradle was missing.
and then add following script to your apps build.gradle
You will not face this error any more. It worked for me may be gradle set up was the blocking issue
My problem was:
I cloned a project from github
I clicked open existing Android Studio project
I chose the path of the inner sample app instead of the containing folder.
So what you should do is:
close the project.
click open existing Android Studio project
select the parent folder instead of the sample app.
You should also change it on Project Structure.
Close the current project and you'll see pop up with dialog which will then proceed to Configure option.
Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure -> SDKs on left column -> Android SDK Home Path -> give the exact path as you did on local.properties and select Valid Target.
There you go.
The simplest solution sometimes is just do the File -> Invalidate Cache / Restart.
If it does not help then go for the more complicated stuff, as suggested in other answers
You can add a local.properties with to set the sdk.dir like sdk.dir=/Users/roofe/Library/Android/sdk.
But please note below, which is very important,
add the local.properties to the uppermost path of the project. Here the uppermost have some difference with root path of a project.
For example in the below project, I just use the ijkplayer-example, but this module also used other module with different cpu architecture.
If I only add local.properties to ijkplayer-example will not work. Here will get sdk location issue for other module.
While I can add the local.properties to the ijkplayer directory, then when I try to open the ijkplayer-example project, there will auto create a local.properties for ijkplayer-example, and everything works well.
In my case, it was a fresh install with checkout from github.
Just close the checkout window.
Create a new project (not from git, just a fresh one).
exit the project.
checkout whatever you like
Its just the fastest way that I found.
So I had the same issue, and none of the answers given previously helped me. What I did was check for new API updates (in my case, I updated to API level 23) and the problem was fixed.
Sync project with Gradle files, It will modify the project's local.properties file.
In Android Studio, I just clicked on File and then Choose Project Structure or Ctrl-Alt-Shift+S. This'll clearly show you the Android SDK location and an input box where you can browse to the correct one if it is not correct.
I add just local.properties file where my project is located. In local.properties:
sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\dglig\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk
such kind of path is there which is our Sdk path.
So just create local.properties file manually and inside this just copy the Sdk file location.
Probably local.properties file missing.
Copy a local.properties from an existing file and add it to your current project. That worked for me.
I installed the SDK again (from here for example :
https://www.mediafire.com/file/azbsqg6dmg7z7np/Sdk+tools+for+android+studio.rar/file
& it created the directory & the packages, after installation.
Now I open android studio & everything is normal.
Everything posted so far was helpful in an overall learning capacity. However, most of the time, fixing one problem created others. What ended up working for me was completely deleting the GitHub project .zip file and any unzipped files. Then I made sure the correct .zip file was re-downloaded and unzipped. When it came time to open it in Android studio, I noticed there were 2 folders with identical project file names, one being contained in the other. The first (or upper) one is actually the .zip file. Open the other one!
I have seen this same thing posted quite a few times, but whenever I try to import my project to my new work laptop I keep getting this error.
I have pulled the project from git (which his btw running fine on my old laptop).
Then I went to the sdk manager, downloaded all the tools, and all the SDK's available.
In the welcome screen, I went to Configure -> project Defaults -> Project structure.
Android SDK Tab says the path for projects without local.properties will be /Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk
This is correct.
Under SDKs I have all the available SDK's visible.
Project SDK is set to API 18
Yet still I get this error when trying to build my project.
Can anyone tell me where I havent looked yet?
I am running gradle 1.7 when trying to build which is downloaded from services.gradle.org
I had very similar situation (had a project on another machine and cloned it to my laptop and saw the same issue) and I looked in it.
Error message was coming from Sdk.groovy of Android gradle plugin:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/build/+/master/gradle/src/main/groovy/com/android/build/gradle/internal/Sdk.groovy
By looking at code, its findLocation needs to set androidSdkDir variable and there are only three ways to do it:
create local.properties file and have either sdk.dir or android.dir line.
have ANDROID_HOME environment variable defined.
System.getProperty("android.home") - I'm not sure how it works, but it seems like a Java thing.
While your Android Studio knows that the SDK is at that place, I doubt that Android Studio is passing that information to gradle and thus we're seeing that error.
I created local.properties file at the project root and put the following line and it compiled the code successfully.
sdk.dir = /Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk/
creating local.properties file in the root directory solved my issue
I somehow lost this file after pulling from GitHub
this is how my local.properties file looks like now:
## This file is automatically generated by Android Studio.
# Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED!
#
# This file must *NOT* be checked into Version Control Systems,
# as it contains information specific to your local configuration.
#
# Location of the SDK. This is only used by Gradle.
# For customization when using a Version Control System, please read the

sdk.dir=/Users/****/Library/Android/sdk
I found the solution here:
http://xinyustudio.wordpress.com/2014/07/02/gradle-sdk-location-not-found-the-problem-and-solution/
Just create a file local.properties and add a line with sdk.dir=SDK_LOCATION
If none of the answers work for you which happened to me on macbook pro in one of the projects you can always try to run Android Studio with an alias command passing sdk.dir with each run:
alias studio='launchctl setenv ANDROID_HOME '\''/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk'\'' && open -a '\''Android Studio'\'''
To fix this problem, I had to define the ANDROID_HOME environment variable in the Windows OS.
To do this, I went to the System control panel.
I selected "Advanced system settings" in the left column.
On the "Advanced" tab, I selected "Environment Variables" at the bottom.
Here, I did not have an ANDROID_HOME variable defined. For this case, I selected "New..." and:
1) for "Variable name" I typed ANDROID_HOME,
2) for "Variable value", I typed the path to my SDK folder, e.g. "C:\...\AppData\Local\Android\sdk".
I then closed Android Studio and reopened, and everything worked.
Thanks to Dibish (https://stackoverflow.com/users/2244411/dibish) for one of his posts that gave me this idea.
Had the same problem in IntelliJ 12, even though I have ANDROID_HOME env variable it still gives the same error. I ended up creating local.properties file under the root of my project (my project has a main project w/ a few submodules in its own directories). This solved the error.
specifying sdk.dir=<SDK_PATH> in local.properties in root folder solved my problem.
I clone libgdx demo, can't import project. it also reminds like this.
Env:
Eclipse(Android-ADT)
window 7
so I create local.properties file at the project root, like following
sdk.dir = D:/adt-bundle-windows-x86/sdk
I hope this can help others!
Copy and paste the local.properties file from a project you created on your new computer to the folder containing the project from your old computer also works too if you don't want to (or know how to) create a new local.properties file.
I noticed that I get this error when I'm working on a new computer if I try to build from the command line first. However, if I build from Android Studio, it retrieves the SDK and creates the directory automatically. Then when I build from the command line it works.
You have also to ensure you have the correct SDK platform version installed in your environment by using SDK Manager.
If you have cloned a project from GitHub for example, and you've tried the methods mentioned here without success including:
Editing sdk.dir in the local.properties
Trying to set ANDROID_HOME environment variable
Or adding an alias as kasiara mentioned
You should try to see if you are trying to build a directory project that is a part within a bigger project, and so it may cause problems.
So load the entire project, and then run the project directory you'd like.
In my specific case I tried to create a React Native app using the react-native init installation process, when I encountered the discussed problem.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> SDK location not found. Define location with an ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variable or by setting the sdk.dir path in your project's local properties file at 'C:\Users\***\android\local.properties'.
I add this, because when developing an android app using react native, the 'root directory' to which so many answers refer, is actually the root of the android folder (and not the project's root folder, where App.js resides). This is also made clear by the directory marked in the error message.
To solve it, just add a local.properties file to the android folder, and type:
sdk.dir=C:/Users/{user name}/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk
Be sure to add the local disk's reference ('C:/'), because it did not work otherwise in my case.
After I updated form 0.2.2 to 0.2.3, I create new project failed.
Error message is below:
下午 08:51:58 Gradle 'NotifyViaGoogleMapsProject' project refresh failed:
The SDK directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\bin\Program Files (x86)Androidandroid-studiosdk' does not exist.
Build file 'F:\AndroidStudioDevelop\NotifyViaGoogleMapsProject\NotifyViaGoogleMaps\build.gradle' line: 9
NotifyViaGoogleMapsProject is my project name,and my android studio is install in default path(C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio), there has no same error in 0.2.2.
I've figured out the problem.
Open 'local.properties' in your project using a text editor.
sdk.dir=..\\sdk
Save and Close
Now Import your project into Android Studio.
Make sure that the SDK folder you mention exists - I'm not sure if it is a typo or not but the path you specified is a bit weird - it should be
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk
On the menu go to File -> Project Structure, then choose SDKs under Platform Settings. Check that the path for the Android Platform you use is correct, and if not, change it to the correct path. Also make sure that the Project is set to use the correct Android Platform.
I have the same problem.

The SDK is correct in Platform Settings, I have no idea what's causing this problem.
