I am trying to make Android programs using IntelliJ. Unfortunately, I cannot get the Android SDK to be recognised on IntelliJ. (I.e. Eclipse has Android SDK Manager installed just fine.)
I select create new project from scratch.
I give the project a name and select make Android module.
Create source directory (next).
The computer then shows Android SDK none. I click the ellipses (...) and the program can see my JDK files.
I click on the + and select Android SDK.
I then find the directory c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk.
However, when I click OK a dialog box appears stating "Please select Java SDK". It only gives me the choice of 1.6 (and not the other one 1.7). I then press OK for 1.6.
Finally the computer then reports it cannot find any Android targets in this SDK.
Please help!!!!
Before creating a new Android Project on IntelliJ Idea, you need to configure the Java and Android Development Kits at the IDE level.
Assuming you already installed the JDK and the Android SDK and you just launched IntelliJ (I'm using version 13.0.2):
Press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S (to access the Project Structure dialog)
On the left navigation pane, click on 'Project Settings->Project'
On the right navigation pane, you should see a drop-down list displaying '<No SDK>'
Click on 'New', select 'JDK' and choose the path to your JDK
Click on 'New', select 'Android SDK' and choose the path to your Android SDK
Please note you have to define the JDK before the Android SDK.
This procedure is documented at:
https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/configuring-global-project-and-module-sdks.html
On linux, run tools/android under the SDK to run the Android SDK Manager. Then download one or more of the platforms. Check out "SDK Readme.txt" in the SDK directory for more. Once you're done there, you will be able to select a platform, and your IntelliJ system will start to run.
For others who may encounter this issue on Intellij14 + Mac - the solution that worked for me was to
1) Open intellij - select add android sdk from the project settings section, select the android-sdk-macrox root directory
2) the sdk manager pops up - download at least 1 package.
3) Restart intellij (without this restart, it didnt seem to work)
Oddly, IntelliJ 12 Community doesn't give us the option to select the JDK location for Android projects.
I've found a workaround for this:
First, create a new Java project. I used 'Java Hello World' project. This'll give you the chance to select your JDK.
Install the Android SDK and run the Android SDK Manager to install tools and a platform, as others have mentioned.
Create a new Android project. Under 'SDK', select the Android SDK. Intellij will remember the JDK location you defined in step #1.
On Mac, IntelliJ won't detect the installation of Android SDK. When selecting SDK for new Android module, select your android-sdk-macosx folder as your location.
More info: https://peterboctor.wordpress.com/2010/12/02/installing-the-android-sdk-on-mac-os-x/
Alternatively, Google just releases Android Studio which is a whole IDE base on IntelliJ.
With IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.2, I couldn't select the Android SDK install location on Mac OS X. That install location was ~/Library/Android/sdk, which IntelliJ wouldn't navigate to because ~/Library is a hidden folder. So I created a symlink in my home directory (ln -s ~/Library/Android/sdk/ ~/AndroidSDK) and IntelliJ DID let me select that.
(linux, osx)
When going standalone (without Android Studio), make sure you have the sdk tools (from the standalone sdk, "command line tools" option), build-tools, platform-tools and an sdk (platform).
./tools/bin/sdkmanager --update
# list available packages (pick a version)
./tools/bin/sdkmanager --list
# install requeriments
./tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;26.0.0"
./tools/bin/sdkmanager "platforms;android-26"
# you might get wrong permissions from the downloaded packages
sudo chmod -R +rxw tools # will need write perm to create AVDs
This may help others. I found that I couldn't get IntelliJ (MacOS) to recognise the Android targets in the android-sdk-macosx folder. Moving the Android SDK folder out of the Applications folder and into a directory in my User's folder resolved the issue. IntelliJ was then able to recognise the Android SDK. It may have had something to do with permissions, but no errors were shown to indicate this. Hope this helps.
I had the same problem with version 15 intelliJ after upgrading on OS Linux Ubuntu 12.04
I found because the android sdk wasn't in the home folder of the user running intelliJ that you had to change the Folder/file permissions before it would see this
Mine was in the root
Issuing the command chown -R <yourusername> /path/to/android_sdk_dir
solved the problem for me
If this fails after doing this delete the ~/.ideaC(Lastversion number) any previous ~/.ideaC(Lastversion numbers) folder's and then re open intelliJ
You will have to go through the initialization of the IDE and give the path to your Java installation ver8 upwards only on intelliJ version15 and thereafter your android sdk installation
I found this can also cause conflicts
As a further tip add the following to the very end of your ~/.bashrc using one of your editors my (nano , vi etc )
Example vi ~/.bashrc
The following lines set the Android Path
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/android/:/path/to/android/tools
export PATH
For SDK version r_08 and higher, also add these two lines for adb:
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/android/platform-tools
export PATH
for setting android emulator to 32 bit version add this line
export ANDROID_EMULATOR_FORCE_32BIT=true
Exit your choice of editor (vi , nano etc ) and
Re invoke bashrc with the command below
source ~/.bashrc
Hope that helps you
You need to run SDK Manager.exe to download at least one of the platforms, then you'll be able to select the downloaded platform, see also this tutorial.
If you are behind a proxy server :
1.After starting the Android-SDK-Manager, go to :
Tools > Options.
Add your proxy details.
2.Then go to Packages > Reload
3.After this you should be able to see all the platform options of the Android.
PS : Pheew! Spent an hour figuring this out!
You can create symlink to your sdk location, even to hidden folder. And then point point IDEA to symlink.
For example: ln -s /Users/*username*/Library/Android/sdk /Users/*username*/androidsdk

I have installed Android Studio on my MacBook Air (OS Version 10.11 El Capitan) and have successfully written a small "hello, world" app and installed on device (Nexus 7) and ran on AVD. All I want to do now is be able to build the app and install it on device from the command line as opposed to Android Studio. I'm following the directions here:
http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/running-app.html
and the relevant line is:
Make sure the Android SDK platform-tools/ directory is included in your PATH environment variable, then execute:
The problem is I can't find the Android SDK on my machine! I assume it's there because otherwise the program wouldn't compile and run through Android Studio? Perhaps that's a bad assumption? I'm new to Macs (I'm used to Windows) so I don't know the best way to search for the Android SDK. So my questions:
How do I find Android SDK on my machine? Or prove to myself it's not there?
If it's not there how do I install it?
How do I change PATH to include Android SDK?
1. How to find it
Open Android studio, go to Android Studio > Preferences
Search for sdk
Something similar to this (this is a Windows box as you can see) will show
You can see the location there – most of the time it is:
/Users/<name>/Library/Android/sdk
2. How to install it, if not there
Go to Android standalone SDK download page
Download the zip file for macOS
Extract it to a directory
3. How to add it to the path
Open your Terminal edit your ~/.bash_profile file in nano by typing:
nano ~/.bash_profile
If you use Zsh, edit ~/.zshrc instead.
Go to the end of the file and add the directory path to your $PATH:
export PATH="${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/tools:${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:${PATH}"
Save it by pressing Ctrl+X
Restart the Terminal
To see if it is working or not, type in the name of any file or binary which are inside the directories that you've added (e.g. adb) and verify it is opened/executed
If you don't want to open Android Studio just to modify your path...
They live here with a default installation:
${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/tools
${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
Here's what you want to add to your .bashwhatever
export PATH="${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/tools:${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:${PATH}"
Find the Android SDK location
Android Studio
> Preferences
> Appearance & Behaviour
> System Settings
> Android SDK
> Android SDK Location
Create a .bash_profile file for your environment variables
Open the Terminal app
Go to your home directory via cd ~
Create the file with touch .bash_profile
Add the PATH variable to your .bash_profile
Open the file via open .bash_profile
Add export PATH=$PATH: [your SDK location] /platform-tools to the file and hit ⌘s to save it. By default it's:
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/yourUserName/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
Go back to your Terminal App and load the variable with source ~/.bash_profile
How do I find Android SDK on my machine? Or prove to myself it's not there?
When you install Android studio, it allows you to choose if you want to download SDK or not
If it's not there how do I install it?
you can get SDK from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
How do I change PATH to include Android SDK?
in Android Studio click in File >> Settings
If Android Studio shows you the path /Users/<name>/Library/Android/sdk
but you can not find it in your folder, just right-click and select "Show View Option". There you will be able to select "Show Library Folder"; select it and you can access the SDK.
The default path of Android SDK is /Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk, you can refer to this post.
add this to your .bash_profile to add the environment variable
export PATH="/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/tools:/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools:${PATH}"
Then save the file.
load it
source ./.bash_profile
AndroidStudioFrontScreenI simply double clicked the Android dmg install file that I saved on the hard drive and when the initial screen came up I dragged the icon for Android Studio into the Applications folder, now I know where it is!!! Also when you run it, be sure to right click the Android Studio while on the Dock and select "Options" -> "Keep on Dock".
Everything else works.
Dr. Roger Webster
For Visual Studio for Mac users (e.g. who installed Android SDK together with VS):
open Visual Studio for Mac
select from menu: Tools -> SDK Manager -> Select 3rd tab: 'Localizations' in dialog
You can find JDK, Android NDK and Android SDK localizations there (if installed and selected). If no Android SDK path found, you may try to find it using Android Studio (if it is installed)
In my case, I had to create local.properties file with sdk.dir=PATH_TO_ANDROID_SDK in my machine. It seems that, it's regarding the android sdk path setup. Hence, it could also be set in ANDROID_HOME env. variable too.
I found it here:
/Users//Library/Android/sdk
and Platform-tools is available as well
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I installed the Android SDK Manager, and am now trying to install a platform like the Android Dev website suggests. Once I clicked install I got an error stating that the Manager could not create a temp folder within the Android directory. So I created it. Now I'm getting this error:
Downloading SDK Platform Android 2.3,
API 9, revision 1 File not found:
C:\Program Files
(x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\temp\android-2.3_r01-linux.zip
(Access is denied)
There is also a little message under the progress bar that says "Done. Nothing was installed."
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, in case that's of any use.
Try running Android Studio as an administrator, by right-clicking on the .exe and selecting "Run As Administrator".
Also, some anti-virus programs have been known to interfere with SDK Manager.
I was getting a similar permission issue and SDK Manager could not download and install new components. Error message was (I'm running Android Studio (I/O Preview) 0.2.9)
"Unable to create C:\Program Files
(x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\temp"
Although solution was infact what #william-tate's answer says, I could not run the 'SDK Manager' directly. It fails with message:
Failed to execute tools\android.bat
The system cannot find the file specified.
Instead I ran the 'tools\android.bat' as Administrator, which in turn launched SDK Manager with same permissions which fixed the issue.
Hope this helps for someone who faces the issue I faced.
In Mac OS X (tried with Android Studio), do the following in Terminal
cd /android/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/sdk/tools
sudo ./android sdk
This launches SDK manager as admin. Now update/install the packages from SDK manager and it'll work.
For Android Studio, selecting "Run As Administrator" while starting Android Studio helps.
In my case I had to specify proxy settings in Tools->Options.
I had same problem when I try to install it on my pc (Win7, 64-bit system). I had an error message shown in figure below. But when I check my local folder 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk', the Android SDK is already there. Somehow Android studio could not see/link it.
So please check first whether you can find the Android SDK in the local folder. If yes, just follow the next steps.
Chose 'Cancel' and click on 'X' on the top right corner.
Chose 'Do not re-run the setup wizard' and click 'OK'
Start Android Studio again and go 'Configure'-->'Project Defaults' --> 'Project Structure'
Add 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk' to 'Android Location' and click 'OK'
Click on 'Start a new Android Studio project'.
Hopefully it helps.
I had a similar issue - very slow xml downloads followed by an empty package list. The SDK, it seems, was trying to use legacy Java installation. Setting the JAVA_HOME to the 1.6 jdk did the trick.
In my case I was using Windows 7 with the 64-bit OS. We installed the 64-bit Java SE and 64-bit ADT Bundle. With that set up, we couldn't get the SDK manager to work correctly (specifically, no downloads allowed and it didn't show all the API download options). After trying all of the above answers and from other posts, we decided to look into the Java set up and realized it might the 64-bit configuration that's giving the ADT bundle grief (I vaguely recall seeing/reading this issue before).
So we uninstalled Java 64-bit and reinstalled the 32-bit, and then used the 32-bit ADT bundle, and it worked correctly. The system user was already an admin, so we didn't need to "Run as Administrator"
For those running SDK Manager in Eclipse, selecting "Run As Administrator" while starting Eclipse.exe helps.
For Linux/ubuntu User
Why it's happening?
due to lock icon on some folder(not having read/write access) in
"/yourpath/android-studio-SDK"
Sort and sweet solution
-Open Terminal (Ctrl +alt +t)
-copy pest sudo chown -R $USER: $HOME
-wait for a while.....
-now Try again to update your SDK
Happy Coding :)
The Access denied is because Windows doesn't give the default write and modify permission to the files in its install drive viz. c:
To resolve this issue I usually use a separate drive or in your case, you need to set the access rights to the specific folder in the options
right click -> options > security -> edit
In windows 8:
right click on windows button
List item
CDM as administrator
Press 'yes'
paste this $ C:\xxx\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\android.bat
If you use SDK Manager in Eclipse:
Option 1: Right-click on eclipse.exe and select "Run As Administrator".
Option 2: If you don't want to start Eclipse.exe as Administrator just install/copy Eclipse installation files from "C:\program files\Eclipse ADT Bundle\" to some unprotected folder, like "D:\android\". Run "D:\android\eclipse\eclipse.exe", select menu item "Window => Preferences => Android" and change "SDK Location" to "D:\android\sdk\". After that you'll be able to install new packages in Android SDK Manager.
go to sdk folder and right click on SDK manager and run with administrator and enjoy installing.
To go along with what v01d said:
Using Android Studio for Mac OS X, the SDK folder could also be at /Users/{user}/Library/Android/sdk, where {user} is your username.
To find out where the partial SDK installation is, go to Configure > SDK Manager in Android Studio, then click edit at the top. This should pop up a window and show the location.
Copy this path and paste it front of the cd command in a terminal. Finally execute sudo ./android sdk to launch the standalone SDK manager.
EDIT (July 14, 2016):
The "android" binary file could also be at /Users/{user}/Library/Android/sdk/tools.
Solution for macOS
click right on AndroidStudio.app -> show Package Contents -> MacOS
now drag & dropping the studio-executable in a terminal
sudo! (Ctrl+A places your cursor in front)
start the SDK Manager inside AS to get your stuff (you will have root access)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPnu3Nrd1u0&feature=youtu.be
you need 3 steps:
1- Configure -> "Appearance and Behavior" -> System Settings -> HTTP Proxy. I selected
"Automatic proxy configuration url:"
2-Delete your ~/.Android* folders (c:\users\ur user).
3-Run Android Studio. It will show you a welcome wizard where it tries to download the SDK again.
I have installed Android Studio for the millionth time but when i go to C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio , i can't find any folder named "SDK" , can't find it any where on the computer either.
Also, the SDK manager doesn't open, which i guess is a problem linked to the first one.
If you have downloaded the AS + SDK bundle:
Assuming the defaults were left unchanged, you will find the SDK in
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android
If it is missing at this location, one of the following reasons apply: you have chosen a custom location, you missed to install the SDK at all, or (unlikely) they have changed the default install location.
Note #1: the AppData directory is hidden by default. If you have a standard Windows configuration, the C:\ path above should work "as is" (hit Win + R -> paste the path -> Enter).
Note #2: you will never find the SDK in the Android Studio directory unless you have explicitly put it in there. The reason is that those directories might be deleted after installing a newer version of Android Studio and you would have to re-install the SDK as well.
If you have retrieved the standalone SDK by some other means:
The SDK location may vary (from my experience), however (assuming the default configuration) you will most likely find it in C:\Program Files\Android or C:\Users\%USERNAME%
Tools > Android > SDK Manager > there you'll see the path to SDK
If you don't have it at C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android (this is where most people have it) than it is possible you don't have it installed. Go to Tools > Android > SDK Manager and then click on "Android SDK." On the top of the SDK Manager it will list the SDK Location. Click edit. If you don't have Android SDK installed, it will give you the option to install it in certain location. Install it, and Android Studio should work!
SDK folder by defalut is in C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Local\Android. And the AppData folder is hidden in windows. Enable show hidden files in folder option, and give a look inside that.
Make sure all the folders are visible.
click start>control panel>Appearance and Personalization>Show hidden files and folders then click "Show hidden files, folders and drives"
The file should be in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android as mentioned above. otherwise you can check by opening Android SDK Manager - top left under SDK path.
If SDK folder is present in system, one can find in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android
If Android/SDK folder is not found
Once done with downloading and installing Android Studio, you need to launch studio.
On launching Android studio for the first time, we get option to download further more components, in that we have SDK.
On downloading components one can find SDK under Appdata (C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android)
I had to open Android studio and go through the wizard. Android studio will install the SDK for you.
If your are using android studio go to file >> project structure on the left pane press on SDK location . you will find the path where your sdk is located
When you install the android studio just by downloading from https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html sometimes sdk folder will not get appear in C:\Users\home\AppData\Local\Android Location..
But to set the android studio we need to set the path for android on this location.
So simply
1) start the android setup.
2) follow the instruction and android studio will automatically download the sdk folder by itself. (it will show the window like "Downloading Components").
After completing that installation check the above path again.
sdk folder will get appear now.
I faced the same issue. And I am able to resolve it by uninstalling the previous version I had, and removing the Android studio projects and reinstalling it.
And then go to Settings-> Android Studio -> Click on edit, to specify studio location, it will recognize the requask you if you would like to download sdk,
So I was trying to root one of my old phones and process required Android SDK. When I searched Android SDK, all i could do was download and install Android Studio. Everything went fine and smooth, till I tried to look for SDK in installation. I could not find it under Android Studio installation. But after a little search on Google and Android Studio configuration on my computer, I was able to find it at
C:\Users\username\Android\sdk
I hope that helps.
C:\Users\*********\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Check whether the USERNAME is correct, for me a new USERNAME got created with my proxy extension.
I found it in /Users//Library/Android/sdk
For me it was :
C:\Users\{your-user-name}\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin
Hope it helps!
After installation if you get a message about Proxy, it means that you're probably behind a firewall. You can create a new Outgoing firewall rule to include it. Add this to Allow:
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio64.exe
It will then download required SDK components
Once that's done, SDK will be in:
C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
For anyone who really can't find the SDK, you can manually download it from android studio.
File => Settings => Appearance & Behavior => System Settings => Android SDK
If you do not have a SDK (or did not select the right folder), you will be asked to select the SDK version and the folder where the SDK will be installed.
This is how I fixed by SDK not found problem.
System: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, yet you can try these steps in accordance to your respective systems.
If there is an SDK file present, it should be most likely found at /home/USERNAME/Android/sdk
USERNAME is to be replaced by your username
If there is none, check the specified sdk path for the project in android studio.
File > Project Structure > sdk path
The sdk directory should be present in the specified path. In case, it is not there, open the file:
PROJECT_DIRECTORY/android/local.properties
PROJECT_DIRECTORY needs to be replaced by your project name.
If the file is not there, create it.
Then add the following line depending on where you find the sdk directory.
If sdk is there at /home/USERNAME/Android/:
add the line: sdk.dir = /home/tanya/Android/sdk
If sdk is not there at /home/USERNAME/Android/:
add the line: sdk.dir = /home/tanya/Android/
If the path specified for sdk directory in 'Project Structure' is entirely different and the sdk directory is present at the specified location,
add the line: sdk.dir = SPECIFIED_SDK_PATH
Add the specified sdk path in place of SPECIFIED_SDK_PATH
I just initialised a project on Android Studio, and it was working fine in version 0.2.6, but in 0.2.7, I get this error:
It creates a folder inside my Applications directory, but it does not initialize the project. Any help regarding this problem would be appreciated. I get no problems with version 0.1.1 through version 0.2.6, but when it comes to 0.2.7, things start to get problematic, like this and I can't even start a project.
With 2.7 update I got the same issue. It looks like now Android Studio thinks sdk lays in under its own folder at android-studio/sdk.
You should be able to use android app under android-studio/sdk/tools to get missing components (not tested).
Another solution would be to fix sdk path (tested):
Close any projects then drop to Welcome to Android Studio Dialog
Select Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure
Select SDKs -> Android SDK -> Android SDK Home Path
Update it to your previous sdk location.
got the same problem when applying the last patch (2.7). I've resolved it by copying SDK Manager.exe from android-studio\sdk\tools\lib to android-studio\sdk\ then I've launched it and install the missing component.
After restarting Android Studio it works again !
You must manually run SDK Manager.
Folder: android-studio/sdk/tools
Search for android or android-sdk
The new Support Repository must be already selected, and you need only click the "Install" button.
Just as Leonidos said, install ASR through SDK Manager:
Tools > Android > SDK Manager ; Navigate to the Extras folder, and select Android Support Repositories.
Click install packages and it will work fine
I did a fresh install of Java, SDK and Android Studio, update it to 0.2.7 and install the ASR through SDK Manager, but the messages comes again.
So i found this solution.
The most common problem for Android Studio and 64Bit Windows System is the no 8.3 short path for
C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86).
find_java.exe
couldn't handle it and give a wrong path back.
Finally do this:
dir /x C:
-- It shows no 8.3 short paths.
fsutil 8dot3name query C:
-- It shows NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is 1 on "C:",
means 8.3 short path won't be created in "C:".
Then I enable the generation of 8.3 short name by:
fsutil 8dot3name set C: 0
and create short names for C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86) in windows recovery mode by:
fsutil file setshortname "C:\Program Files" PROGRA~1
fsutil file setshortname "C:\Program Files (x86)" PROGRA~2
And now dir /x C: can show the short names.
And now find_java.exe -s
can show the short path C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK17~1.0_2\bin\java.exe.
And now find_java.bat and android.bat can work good now!

Also copying SDK Manager.exe from android-studio\sdk\tools\lib to android-studio\sdk\
Just a few ideas to try that should hopefully help. These can be found by using Ctrl + Shift + A.
"Sync project with Gradle" - (it's also often in the toolbar with a green and yellow ball and a blue down arrow next to three android icons)
"Gradle" and select the ToolBox option; then hit the blue refresh icon to refresh all the gradle projects
"Project Structure..." (also available under File) Under the Libraries project settings you should see a valid reference to your support library. You'll also want to skim through everything to make sure everything else looks good with the project.
"Invalidate Caches..." (another available under File) Invalidate and restart. This one got me going again after the previous upgrade generated a bunch of errors.
Some of these may be redundant, but after having fought with similar issues in the past it's just a few easy things I've found to check.
If refreshing everything doesn't work you can always pull up the Android SDK from Tools -> Android -> SDK or from the toolbar with the blue/green boxy android that has a black down arrow. It should be next to the Sync Gradle button.
I update the Android Studio(AS) and see the same issue.
However, there is something slightly different about what I find out.
I actually have two sdks because I shift from Eclipse to AS.
Hence, I get one sdk in
c:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk
and anther in
c:\Android\android-studio\sdk.
And the real one that I use is in c:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk.
The important thing is that, I find that only one of the sdk setting is changed after the update.
Quick Start > Configure > Project Defaults > Project Structure
> Platform Settings > SDKs
1.7
JDK home path:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10
Android 2.2 Platform
Android SDK home path:
C:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk
Android 4.0.3 Platform
same as 2.2
Android 4.2.2 Platform
Android SDK home path:
C:\Android\android-studio\sdk <- it is modified after update!!!!
Android 4.3 Platform
same as 2.2
After fixing the path in 4.2.2, I could create new project successfully again.
For some reason, if you install Android Studio in the same directory as the SDK, this error will pop up. Just install it somewhere else.
For instance, I had it installed at C:\Android\, along with the SDK. Then, I decided to install it at C:\Program Files (x86)\Android Studio and it simply worked.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I installed the Android SDK Manager, and am now trying to install a platform like the Android Dev website suggests. Once I clicked install I got an error stating that the Manager could not create a temp folder within the Android directory. So I created it. Now I'm getting this error:

For Android Studio, selecting "Run As Administrator" while starting Android Studio helps.
In my case I had to specify proxy settings in Tools->Options.
I had same problem when I try to install it on my pc (Win7, 64-bit system). I had an error message shown in figure below. But when I check my local folder 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk', the Android SDK is already there. Somehow Android studio could not see/link it.
So please check first whether you can find the Android SDK in the local folder. If yes, just follow the next steps.
Chose 'Cancel' and click on 'X' on the top right corner.
Chose 'Do not re-run the setup wizard' and click 'OK'
Start Android Studio again and go 'Configure'-->'Project Defaults' --> 'Project Structure'
Add 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk' to 'Android Location' and click 'OK'
Click on 'Start a new Android Studio project'.
Hopefully it helps.
I had a similar issue - very slow xml downloads followed by an empty package list. The SDK, it seems, was trying to use legacy Java installation. Setting the JAVA_HOME to the 1.6 jdk did the trick.
In my case I was using Windows 7 with the 64-bit OS. We installed the 64-bit Java SE and 64-bit ADT Bundle. With that set up, we couldn't get the SDK manager to work correctly (specifically, no downloads allowed and it didn't show all the API download options). After trying all of the above answers and from other posts, we decided to look into the Java set up and realized it might the 64-bit configuration that's giving the ADT bundle grief (I vaguely recall seeing/reading this issue before).
So we uninstalled Java 64-bit and reinstalled the 32-bit, and then used the 32-bit ADT bundle, and it worked correctly. The system user was already an admin, so we didn't need to "Run as Administrator"
For those running SDK Manager in Eclipse, selecting "Run As Administrator" while starting Eclipse.exe helps.
For Linux/ubuntu User
Why it's happening?
due to lock icon on some folder(not having read/write access) in
"/yourpath/android-studio-SDK"
Sort and sweet solution
-Open Terminal (Ctrl +alt +t)
-copy pest sudo chown -R $USER: $HOME
-wait for a while.....
-now Try again to update your SDK
Happy Coding :)
The Access denied is because Windows doesn't give the default write and modify permission to the files in its install drive viz. c:
To resolve this issue I usually use a separate drive or in your case, you need to set the access rights to the specific folder in the options
right click -> options > security -> edit
In windows 8:
right click on windows button
List item
CDM as administrator
Press 'yes'
paste this $ C:\xxx\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\android.bat
If you use SDK Manager in Eclipse:
Option 1: Right-click on eclipse.exe and select "Run As Administrator".
Option 2: If you don't want to start Eclipse.exe as Administrator just install/copy Eclipse installation files from "C:\program files\Eclipse ADT Bundle\" to some unprotected folder, like "D:\android\". Run "D:\android\eclipse\eclipse.exe", select menu item "Window => Preferences => Android" and change "SDK Location" to "D:\android\sdk\". After that you'll be able to install new packages in Android SDK Manager.
go to sdk folder and right click on SDK manager and run with administrator and enjoy installing.
To go along with what v01d said:
Using Android Studio for Mac OS X, the SDK folder could also be at /Users/{user}/Library/Android/sdk, where {user} is your username.
To find out where the partial SDK installation is, go to Configure > SDK Manager in Android Studio, then click edit at the top. This should pop up a window and show the location.
Copy this path and paste it front of the cd command in a terminal. Finally execute sudo ./android sdk to launch the standalone SDK manager.
EDIT (July 14, 2016):
The "android" binary file could also be at /Users/{user}/Library/Android/sdk/tools.
Solution for macOS
click right on AndroidStudio.app -> show Package Contents -> MacOS
now drag & dropping the studio-executable in a terminal
sudo! (Ctrl+A places your cursor in front)
start the SDK Manager inside AS to get your stuff (you will have root access)

you need 3 steps:
1- Configure -> "Appearance and Behavior" -> System Settings -> HTTP Proxy. I selected
"Automatic proxy configuration url:"
2-Delete your ~/.Android* folders (c:\users\ur user).
3-Run Android Studio. It will show you a welcome wizard where it tries to download the SDK again.
