I am googling like a mad but I am unable to find out from where I should download basic Android SDK zip (tar.gz).
I was used to download that zip, extract it and that's it. Now all what is offered to me is some weird Android ADT "bundle" which goes with some Eclipse x.y.z I am not totally interested into. I just need pure android-sdk with all these binaries for creating emulators and stuff from the command line. I do not want any bundled IDE. Right now, what I get in one zip is:
Eclipse + ADT plugin <-- I do not want this at all
Android SDK Tools
Android Platform-tools
The latest Android platform
The latest Android system image for the emulator
Go to this site and click on Using an existing IDE. There is the Android SDK.

I downloaded the latest version (3.2.1) of Android Studio from the Android Developers site.
After installing the application, it won't start. I get an error message when clicking on "Start a new Android Studio project":
Your Android SDK is missing, out of date or corrupted.
I read an outdated post dealing with the same issue but an older version of the application. I followed the solution described there and got stuck after navigating to Configure > Project Defaults > Project Structure. This is the window I see right now:
I can't find the SDK. Where is it located? Does it not get installed together with the app? If so, where can I download it from?

together with the app? If so, where can I download it from?
That depends on how you installed the Android Studio. With the SDK packages (called bundle) or you have installed it separately which doesn't have SDK packages.
Where is it located
It's mostly uses:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Directory on windows if you install SDK Manager, it will be easy to figured out.
where can I download it from
After installing Android SDK Manager, you'll need to download some packages like;
Platform-tools
Build-tools
Support library
And etc
To be able to compile-use Android Studio which is a general question and use Google for that.
I have a cordova project in visual studio. When running the app onto a device the error
Could not find gradle wrapper within Android SDK. Might need to update your Android SDK
keeps popping up. I have android studio, android sdk(updated) installed. The adb is working and detecting my device all fine. I have searched a lot and most of the answers that i have found are telling to download the sdk once more. But i already have it on my machine.
Visual studio is looking for the gradle wrapper in the location
path-to-sdk\tools
folder. So what i did is copied the template folder from
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\plugins\android\lib
and pasted that folder into the above sdk tools folder. Re-ran the project. Fixed it.
I used to download the Android NDK as new version were pubished to the devloper website.
It appears Google has recently updated the developer website and removed direct NDK download links, and replaced them with a a bunch of circular references that eventually lead to the SDK download. The SDK download page does not include the NDK. The closest I have found to a download and NDK is Download Android Studio and SDK Tools.
Running $ sudo /opt/android-sdk-macosx/tools/android does not offer a way to update the NDK.
How do I update the NDK in place using the existing NDK or one of the SDK tools?
Or where is the download of the actual NDK located?
To be clear, I use ant and ndk-build from the command line. I don't use Eclipse or Android Studio. Eclipse and the Android plugin is broken; and Android Studio does not really support NDK and JNI.
Plus, I don't really want to learn another editor since I kind of know Eclipse, and I know already how to do it from the command line (so there's no need for an editor).
In Android Studio, go to Tools (top-menu item) > Android > SDK Manager
Click SDK Tools tab
Scroll down and you will see NDK as an option, with detail if an update is available
I already have Android SDK latest edition and Eclipse installed. But I want to try Android Studio as well.
I have seen this and this post, but those solutions change the instance of SDK Android Studio (once downloaded and installed) uses. What I want is not to download another SDK when I already have it installed on my machine.
The problem is that the download package given here includes SDK as well.
So can I download Android Studio IDE without the SDK, and then give the path to the SDK I already have during installation?
All the answers suggest to download it with an SDK and then delete it.
You can however download the AStudio w/o the SDK from Android Tools Project Site.
The latest build (2.0 Preview 4) can be downloaded here.
Note: The newest version also requires the SDK to be outside the application folder!
Well now Google offers a "No Android SDK" version of Android Studio in its official Download portal:
It is an old question but it might help someone like me who is looking for an answer. This instructions are for windows 64 bit systems.
Download zip of Android studio without SDK using links given in other answers (e.g. I downloaded android-studio-ide-141.2112779-windows.zip - version 1.3.0.9)
Unzip the archive and run bin/studio64.exe
When it asks for the path to install the SDK, browse your existing SDK location instead of the default path given.
If it detects valid installation of SDK, it will display a message that only missing or old component will be downloaded.
I hope it helps.
You can find it here (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other) in the "Other Download Options" section. There is many different version of Android SDK and Android Studio, including Android Studio without bundled SDK tools.
You can download it with SDK, then change it to yours ( here is explained ) and then delete it
Download Android Studio as is.
Go to it's location and delete the SDK (optional).
At your project open "project structure" and set SDK locations to your Eclipse's SDK.
or just copy your Eclispse sdk to android studio SDK.
I have Win7-64 laptop, installed JDK, Eclise is working. I am failing to install the Android SDK. I downloaded 'adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030' from developer.android. When I used SDK Manager, i could select required installation components and it shows as complete. However, I dont see anything in the 'All Programs'. I also dont see any plugin (that I was supposed to see) in the Eclipse as well. So I gather I am missing some step. Can anyone help. Pl see![][1]
Your downloaded sdk files may not shown in All Programs as they are not executable nor meaningless to be clickable.
Sometimes many folks got a problem to point out exact SDK path, so more than one SDK binaries are downloaded. I think your eclipse cannot find sdk path properly.
To find out where the SDK path is, it displays in SDK Manager.
Then, you can set the path in Eclipse Eclipse->Window->Preferences-> select Android from left hand menu. Check SDK Location has same path; see screenshot.
FYI, as downloaded files are just a bunch of binaries used only for Android development, you can copy the whole android-sdk folder to other place.
I personally recommend to change the directory to C:\Android or C:\User\<me>\Documents\Android-sdk as default directory is in C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Local hidden folder.
The ADT bundle includes an Eclipse executable fully configured with the Android SDK tools. It does not add a plugin to an existing Eclipse install. To launch ADT/Eclipse goto . Search for eclipse.exe within that directory. This is the executable you need to launch.
On my Mac, the Eclipse executable is in /Applications/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse. Just a guess, but on Windows, the path will probably look something like adt-bundle-windows-x86/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/windows/eclipse.exe
I would personally suggest to use Android Studio 2.1 for easy install of plugins as whenever there is an update to any platform tools or build tools they are readily available and the dependency injection is far better with the build tools such as Gradle which are bundled with the Android Studio .
Android Studio
Android adt is plugin to use Android SDK in Eclipse IDE. You have SDK you have Eclipse now you need to install adt plugin in eclipse to use your SDK.
You can refer Android developers for plugin installation
https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/android/docs/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html#Download
For "I dont see anything in the 'All Programs' I also dont see any plugin" part you will not see any extra program installed in your system as adt is extension of eclipse. When you will have adt in place you should be able to see Android option in eclipse preferences. You should also be see Android APplication option while creating new project.
