I already have the latest android sdk with all platforms/sources/etc downloaded.
How can i tell Android Studio to use an existing android sdk without moving it to android-studio\sdk\?
Follow this:
Open up your project in Android Studio.
Go to Settings for the Project via F4. Or selecting the Project Root -> Right-Click and then Module Settings.
You will find Project Settings and Module Settings under which you have the option of selecting both your JDK and Android SDKs if you want.
For e.g. under Platform Settings, you will find SDKs and you can simply tap on the green + sign to add your own path to a locally present SDK.
Hope this helps.
Go to Configure > Project Defaults > Project Structure. There is a setting: SDK Location.
Changing that will make AS use the specified SDK (instead of the one it comes with) for all your projects.
How you do it without having to download another 1GB android sdk:
While installing Android Studio, you have an option to install Custom or Standard.
Choose Custom, and then set the location of your android SDK to where your SDK currently resides.
A red message will appear saying that an existing SDK installation was detected and that only outdated and missing plugins will be installed.
:)
In Android Studio
Go to
File -> project Structure into Project Structure
Left -> SDK Location
SDK location select Android SDK location (old version use Press +, add another sdk)

I am a beginner in android.I just install Android Studio 2.3.2 stable version. SDK is at location C:\Users\Priya Jain\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk. but when I go to SDK Manager nothing is responding. Now how can I install all tools need for the android studio?
Is there need to install SDK in its default location
EDIT
Here is my system configuration
When I click on SDK tools, SDK Update sites it is not responding even on SDK platform anything is not clickable.image.
I set a default location for SDK but not working.
Thanks in advance
No need to install SDK in default location You only need to set path of SDk in Android Studio:-
Go to
1) File -> project Structure into Project Structure
2)Left -> SDK Location
3)SDK location select Android SDK location and here you set your SDK path.
You may place Android SDK folder anywhere on your hard drive, but make sure it's not protected. Just try with the following:
1. Goto Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager
2. In the opened window find Android SDK Location and click on Edit
3. Again In the opened window find Android SDK Location and click on the choose directory icon having 3 dots.
4. Now locate path of immediate sdk folder inside which the SDK Manager.exe file exist, and save it by clicking Next button.
Now u will be able to launch SDK manager.
Not at all. I used to have the same issue in the beginning. You may install android SDK wherever you want to place it, even in a portable hard drive. you just need to change settings in the android studio to search SDK in the location where you installed it instead of looking in the default folder. for this follow these steps.
1. Open Android Studio
2. Go to File-->Settings-->Appearance and Behaviour-->
System Settings--> Android SDK
3. On the top, there would be Android SDK Location box. Click on edit.click here for image
6. A box will open. at the bottom there a box Android SDK Location. click on ... box.click here for image
4. Change directory to where you saved SDK folder and click finish.
5. Click Apply and OK.
It should work fine.
#priya, see attached image. you can select drive where sdk resides after automatically affect and it will display available android version.
I just downloaded the Android Studio .dmg for OSX. Per the installation instructions, I've dragged it to the application folder and launched the application.
But the SDK Manager and AVD Manager are greyed out and are impossible to use.
Any ideas on an installation step I may have missed?
For people coming for this same problem for Windows: you won't have an Android SDK anywhere if it is your first time with Android. Also, here the Android Studio doesn't come with a packed SDK Manager, so you need to download one.
So this is what you may do:
Download the SDK Manager and an Android SDK
Download the SDK Manager from: http://developer.android.com/sdk/. Use the link that says "Get the SDK for an existing IDE".
Execute the downloaded installer.
Execute this program with administrator rights: SDK Manager.exe
Download the proposed SDK (if you get errors regarding the SDK Manager couldn't create some folders, remember it should be executed as administrator).
Configure Android Studio to work with the new SDK
Open Android Studio and in the Quick Start window click "Configure", you will see the SDK Manager greyed out.
Go to "Project Defaults", then to "Project Structure" and there it will ask for the path where you installed the SDK.
If you click OK and go back you will see the SDK Manager is no longer greyed out, and now you can start creating projects.
A project needs to have been loaded at least once for the link to become available.
Found it in :
File / Project Structure...
Then in "Android SDK" provide the path to the SDK folder inside the Android Studio Application Bundle.
Then Make a new project.
Then after the initial setup the elements where finally enabled.
Android Studio Beta v0.8.14 with the Android SDK for Mac does not appear to include the SDK: you need to install the SDK manually (e.g. https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools) and then configure Android Studio to find and use it.
(I ended up using the ADT bundle, since I couldn't seem to find the SDK as a standalone download.)
You need to use the buttons on the welcome dialog, and not on the applications menu bar or preferences (as I had initially thought). Step by step:
(Note that "SDK Manager" is greyed out until you complete this, at which point you cannot undo it for the purposes of taking screenshots...)
Navigate back and the "SDK Manager" button on the "Configure" panel should be enabled. Clicking it should display something like this:
I had a similar problem and the cause was that I've used path with a space in it. There was a warning in the window that can cause problems with NDK, but in fact it caused problems with Android Studio internal SDK as well. After changing the path it works fine.
Go to configure -> project defaults -> project structure
give the path for the SDK and press OK.
It should work now
For Mac Users (Android Studio Beta v0.8.14)
The SDK or SDK manager is not included with this version of Android Studio, and the documentation is obfuscated regarding this change at this point.
Download the standalone SDK from here. You may select the latest revision of the same from this link below the title GET THE SDK FOR AN EXISTING IDE.
Extract the downloaded zip, and rename the folder as sdk
Copy the sdk folder into the Android Studio.app/Contents directory
Restart Android Studio and you will be shown this dialog when the Android Studio starts up
To remove grey out area,
you need to follow this steps as below:
Go to File
Click on Project Structure
Go to SDK Location
Click on Browse to find SDK path
Select proper SDK path on your system
Now click on SDK manager icon on Android Studio toolbar
I hope this solves the problem of grey out area.
Thanks,
This will no longer be a problem when version 1.0 is released. In the meanwhile you can download the latest canary build (1.0 RC2), which downloads the SDK during the setup.
For me, the issue was on windows and it was as simple as launching the installer with "administrative" mode. That's it!
Im having a issue with the latest developer tool announced at Google i/o 2013 "Android Studio". I have successfully installed the program and am able to launch just fine. I can import exsisting projects and edit them just fine. However when i attempt to click the SDK Manager icon or the AVD Manager icon, Or when i attempt to create a new project. I get the following error "Please specify Android SDK" Now, I have already gone into File > Other Settings > Default Project Structure > under "Platform Settings" SDK's .
I have created a Android SDK item with the source to my Android SDK folder.
Therefore i don't understand why Android Studio doesnt recognize it. The only thing that im doing somewhat different is not using the included sdk folder in the actual Android Studio folder. However when trying it, it says its not a real SDK home.
Any idea's, Thanks in advance
Try updating your Android SDK to r22 http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r22-windows.exe
I had the same issue, once I updated to the latest SDK, Android Studio was able to find the android-sdk folder.
I was having this same issue. First download the latest SDK as described by dues71 and put it someplace you will remember (for instance C:\AndroidSDK). In Android Studio select your project and select File->Project Structure (or select the icon ). On the left, under Project Settings select Modules and select the Dependencies tab. In row that says "Module SDK" select "New..." and select "Android SDK". Navigate to root sdk directory (i.e. C:\AndroidSDK) and select OK. Select the latest Android SDK. It will now index the directory which may take some time, but after that is complete it should work.
I tryed to update Android SDK to latest 22 version and then restarted IDE (I had same issue on Intellij IDEA 13 EAP), I think this would work on Android Studio too.
Just press ctrl+f9 than the error will remove automatically.Sometimes it may happen that the SDK is already there but not linked with the project.You should click on make project or ctrl+f9 than everything will be fine.
I'm using Google's Android Studio 0.1 based on IntelliJ, and I cannot figure out how to add additional SDKs to my project.
I exported my existing project from Eclipse to a Gradle project, which I imported into Android Studio, as recommended by Google.
My project's SDK is Google APIs 2.3.3. However, I use a library called PullToRefresh which appears to need SDK 4.1, so I'm trying to add the SDK 16 to my project.
I've already made sure to download the SDK using the SDK manager. These SDKs are added to the Android Studio.app's sdk folder automatically.
I opened the Project Structure window, clicked "SDKs" under Platform Settings, and I currently see JDK 1.7 and Google APIs 2.3.3 shown. I click the + sign above that list to add a new SDK. I then navigate to the sdk directory that has android-16, as shown in the screenshot below. I am not quite sure what this wants me to add, but I've highlighted the android-16 folder (about the only thing I can select), and when I click "Choose," the window disappears, but no new SDK appears in the SDK list.
And here is a screenshot of my SDK Manager view, showing the installed SDKs:
I had opened a ticket also with Google's support, and received the solution. Instead of choosing the sdk/platform/android-16 folder, if you select the top-level "sdk" folder instead, you'll then be asked to choose which SDK you want to add. This worked!
You have to put your SDK's in a given directory or .app directory. You have to do it in finder while you are out of the application i'm assuming, but personally I'd use terminal in Mac instead of doing it in the App itself or finder. According to Google:
On Windows and Mac, the individual tools and other SDK packages are saved within the Android Studio application directory. To access the tools directly, use a terminal to navigate into the application and locate the sdk/ directory. For example:
Windows: \Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio\sdk\
Mac: /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/sdk/
You can change from the "build.gradle" file the line:
compileSdkVersion 18
to the sdk that you want to be used.
I had to restart Android Studio for changing the sdk after installing a new one. Then Android Studio asked me for configuring my SDK and let me do it.
And For linux(ubuntu)
/usr/share/android-studio/data/sdk
Download your sdk file, go to Android studio: File->New->Import Module
I followed almost the same instructions by #Mason G. Zhwiti , but had to instead navigate to this folder to find the SDK:
/Users/{my-username}/Library/Android/sdk
I'm using Android Studio v1.2.2 on Mac OS
For those starting with an existing IDEA installation (IDEA 15 in my case) to which they're adding the Android SDK (and not starting formally speaking with Android Studio), ...
Download (just) the SDK to your filesystem (somewhere convenient to you; it doesn't matter where).
When creating your first project and you get to the Project SDK: bit (or adding the Android SDK ahead of time as you wish), navigate (New) to the root of what you exploded into the filesystem as suggested by some of the other answers here.
At that point you'll get a tiny dialog to confirm with:
Java SDK: 1.7 (e.g.)
Build target: Android 6.0 (e.g.)
You can click OK whereupon you'll see what you did as an option in the Project SDK: drop-down, e.g.:
Android API 23 Platform (java version "1.7.0_67")
Friend's,
I want to know how to change currently using android sdk to another,(i.e) i'm using android-sdk_r04-windows in my eclipse,suppose if i need to change it for android-sdk_r07-windows,how can i proceed,whether simply delete android-sdk_r04-windows from drive and to download and paste android-sdk_r07-windows,is't enough or something i need to do.
Thanks in advance,
From Eclipse, go to Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager. Then, in Available Packages, select the SDK versions you want to install. (note that you might also want to select Android SDK Tools)
When the installation is finished, you should also update the ADT plugin for Eclipse.
To use a certain SDK release for you project, go to project properties (right click on the project and select Properties) and select (from the Android page) the desired Project Build Target.
