Android Studio 3.2 RC3 keeps asking me to update the Google Play Instant Development SDK (from 1.3.0 to 1.4.0), but it always fails the update with this message:
Failed packages:
- Google Play Instant Development SDK (extras;google;instantapps)
How can I fix this?
Close Android Studio completely
File -> Close.
Delete instantapps Folder form your sdk:
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\instantapps
update again.

I was able to get this working by:
Closing my project (File -> Close Project)
Open SDK Manager from the gear at the bottom of the window
Click Updates on the left
I had to do this twice and it worked the second time.
If that won't work you can try File -> Invalidate Cache/restart -> Invalidate Restart. Android Studio will close and restart and then updates should install properly.
After delete, you reinstall here "Instant"
find the SDK folder instalation,
go to extra-google-instantaps, delete that
folder instantaps
and after that update again with sdk manager, that
old version is the problem
Solved this (in a similar way to previous, with one exception) by
1: Closing Android Studio File -> Close
2: deleting .installer and tools folders in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\instantapps
3: Launching SDK Manager from Configure dropdown beside gear icon
Note: I tried deleting the entire instantapps folder but when I did this I did not get presented with the option to
install Instant Development SDK.
Close Android Studio
Go to the SDK installed folder
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
or maybe you installed in another drive
Then go to extras\google\instantapps and delete this instant apps folder.
Now open Android Studio
Tools -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools -> Check the box before
"Google Play Instant Development
SDK"
Click Apply and ok
Enjoy your problem free life.
If your version of Android Studio is 3.2, you can go to C:\Users\xxx and delete the version folder other than <.AndroidStudio3.2>. I did this and it succeeded.
Just needs Administrator privilege to install. Try run Android studio as administrator.
I have recently updated Android Studio from 2.2.3 to 2.3. Now can't see the option "Launch Standalone SDK Manager", which is useful to check for updates, google play services, etc.
It is a deprecated feature: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=235625 There is an option in Android Studio to "Show Package Details".
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager
See also: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/5x6adh/android_studio_23_is_now_available_in_the_stable/deg48lj/
Even I had this issue when I updated to Android Studio 2.3
Click on Configure on the bottom left side
Select the Check Box to Show Package Details on the bottom left side
Move between the different tabs as per your requirements.
Can't working on Android Studio 2.3.3
On Mac :
/Users/YourAccount/Library/Android/sdk/tools
click android, you'll see standalone SDK manager
On Windows :
C:\Productivity\android-sdks\tools
double click on android.bat, standalone SDK Manger will be launched (see image below).
As the standalone sdk manager has been deprecated in favor of studio builtin sdk manager, there's a workaround to get back the standalone sdk manager.
Step1.
Download command line sdk tools for your platform:
http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r24-windows.exe
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24-windows.zip
the links refer to an old distribution intentionally (see note below).
Step2.
Copy the SDK Manager.exe, tools/android.bat and tools/lib/archquery.jar into your existing sdk to which android studio is currently being pointed.
Step3.
Run SDK Manager or tools/android.bat and you will get back your beloved standalone sdk manager while having latest android studio > 2.3
Note
if you download latest command line tools for sdk, you wont be able to find the archquery.jar which is required to run the standalone sdk utility.
In this latest version (2.3.1 and 2.3.1+), after some digging, I found a faster way to open AVD and SDK: In the welcome interface of Android Studio, after pressing CTRL+SHIFT+A, a search box will jump out, then you can input "AVD", the AVD manager will come out. To open SDK is the same way.
However, AVD does not work in the welcome interface but SDK works. If you want to use CTRL+SHIFT+A to quickly open AVD you must create a new project and open AVD in the project interface.
If you are a Xamarin user, you can install the Xamarin Android SDK Manager, available on the Visual Studio Marketplace which will give you an interface like this:
NOTE: The Xamarin SDK manager has to be accessed from visual studio, but it will (should) work on both windows and mac
You can open it from your SDK path which in my case is
C:\Users\Akshay\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Double click on SDK Manager.exe and it will open standalone SDK manager, refer attached Screenshot.
I just installed Android Studio. How do I run SDK Manager in Android Studio? The Android docs say to go to Configure->SDK Manager.
But when I do that, the SDK Manager button is grayed out:
Is there something else I need to do or download?
You will have to link the android sdk to intelliJ. Go to Project Defaults > Project Structure. Give the path to the SDK in the Android SDK location. If this is done, you will be able to run the SDK manager. If you don't have the SDK tools, download them from the developer.android.com website.
Use this link to developer website and download android-sdk.zip file
You can give link by going to the File--> Project Structure(Ctrl+Alt+shift+s) and you can set the path.
Then Click on the SDK Manager Icon
When I open Android SDK Manager from Android Studio, the SDK Path displayed is:
\android-studio\sdk
I want to change this path. How do I do it?
From Android Studio 1.0.1
Go to
File -> project Structure into Project Structure
Left -> SDK Location
SDK location select Android SDK location (old version use Press +, add another sdk)
For projects default:
Close current Project (File->Close project)
You'll get a Welcome to Android Studio Dialog. In that:
Click on Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure
Click on SDK Location in the left column
Put the path to the Android SDK in "Android SDK location" field.
(Example SDK location: C:\android-sdk; I have sub-folders like
add-ons, platforms etc under C:\android-sdk)
Click OK to save changes
Have fun!
Following steps were for older versions(<1.0) of Android Studio
In the middle column Click on Android SDK (with Android icon) OR click + on the top if you don't see an entry with Android icon.
Change SDK Home Path and select valid Target.
From the quick start window, choose Configure, then choose Project Defaults, and then choose Project Structure. Then on the left under Platform Settings choose SDKs. Then to the right of that choose the current android platform, mine was Android 4.2.2 Platform, and delete it using the red minus button at the top, then add a new android platform using the green plus button at the top and point it to your current SDK folder and that is it.
I Configured in this way
on
Welcome to Android Studio Screen
Click Configure Then
Project Defaults and then Project Structure
Then
Android SDK and Selected the path to my current location of Android SDK
Changing the sdk location in Project Settings will solve the problem partially. When Android Studio is used to download a new SDK, it will place the new SDK in the internal SDK folder (inside Android Studio).
Existing android developers will already have a large sdks folder (hereinafter referred to as external SDK folder) containing all the SDKs downloaded before Android Studio came around.
For Mac/Linux users though there is a good way out. Soft links!
Exit Android Studio and perform the following steps:
cp -r <Android Studio>/sdk/ <external SDK folder>/
cd <Android Studio>/
mv <Android Studio>/sdk/ mv <Android Studio>/sdk.orig
ln -s <external SDK folder>/ sdk
And we're good to go. Launch SDK Manager after starting Android Studio, watch as it discovers all your existing SDKs like a charm :).
EUREKA I found it!
With the current Studio 1.3 each project has a local.properties file where you can edit the SDK!
Here's how you can change the android sdk path in Android studio:
Open your required android project in Android studio
Click on the main project folder and press F4
Now click on "SDKs" under Platform Settings (Left hand side of the dialog box)
You should now see a plus sign on the top, click it and choose "Android SDK"
Now you would be asked to choose the required SDK folder
Select the required build target(if necessary) and click "ok"
Now you should see the new entry in the list of SDKs
Click "Modules" under Project Settings
Select your project folder and in the Dropdown for "Module SDK", select the new SDK entry and click "apply"
Now click "OK" and your done.
Note: If changes do not take effect, restarting android studio should fix the problem.
Make your life easy with shortcut keys ctrl+shift+alt+S
or
by going to file->project structure:
it will open this window, where you can select your SDK
Try this way i try in Android Studio 2.0
Step 1: File->Settings
Step 2: Settings->SDK options
Step 3: Click Edit option in Sdk Location
Step 4: Show "SDK Components Setup"
Step 5: Click on Three "..." in "SDK Components Wizad"
Step 6: Select your new SDK Path
I noticed that the latest version of Android Studio doesn't seem to have the option "SDKs" path that's mentioned in many of the answers. I'm guessing that disappeared in one of the updates, somewhere down the line?
The way i solved this issue (osx) was:
Go to Project Settings (Cmd + ;)
In SDK Location make sure you're pointing to the correct SDK location (typically /Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk) then hit Apply
Most important step - hit "Sync Project with Gradle files"
I wasn't doing Step 3 and that was throwing me off. After a sync all your source r belong to us....
goto menu File->Project Strucurt or key Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S
and example http://how-to-android-studio.blogspot.com/2014/11/set-sdk-location.html
You can also create the environment variable (in Windows) ANDROID_HOME to the location of the Android SDK and Android Studio will use that.
Above answers are pretty correct, but some times Android Studio, does not like to refresh after SDK path change, a quick solution is to make some change in you Build file, and click on Sync. It will refresh you project.
Happy coding... :)
While first installation There are two situations either you have pre-installed Android SDK if you had used it in past or you have nothing at all, At a time of installation Installer always ask user how you want to configure SDK with your studio.
You can simply give a path here or browse folder where sdk is available in local system. If you already have SDK, Another option as shown in below picture at Left down corner there is a nice option for download SDK, by clicking it you can download SDK with latest release right from there,You can also use third option see in right down corner setup Android SDK for me by clicking it you can step by step set your sdk.
Although you can also set it up when Android shows you list of available projects, a starting prompt window shown below
That's pretty easy, and also sometime if you want to change your SDK you can always change it right in your Android Studio from
On windows system
File --> Project Structure and then you will see SDK Location Option and from there you can set it up by providing a path or by browse it.
Or if you are on MAC system then from Platform settings.
In Android Studio 2.2.3 I think you can change default SDK location for all projects from the top menu:
File -> Project Structure...
A window like below shows up:
in windows press ctrl+shift+alt+s which will open project properties where you can find first option named SDK Location click on it and there you can change SDK path, JDK path and NDK path also
This may not be what you want, but being an eclipse user I had the same problem having duplicate sdk folders which were eating all my ssd space. Currently you can only change sdk path inside android studio project wide which is annoying. What I did instead was I copied all the previous android sdk files that I was using with eclipse to /Android Studio/sdk/ and then just changed the sdk path inside eclipse.
Now both android studio and eclipse are happy.
Here is some ways, as far as I know now.
Android Studio 3.3.2 (testing is OK)
method: 1
just following steps of the official docs, as bellow link shows
https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/studio-config#jdk
method: 2
following steps of the screen shortcuts, as bellow shows
method: 3
following steps of the screen shortcut, as bellow shows
Tap --> file --> close current project.
You'll Android Studio home page
Click on Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure
Click on SDK Location in the left column and copy the path.
Paste the path in My computer --> Right Click -> Properties -> click on Advanced system settings -> Environment variables and change the android home path.
click on 'OK' to save the session.
Add tools and platforms tools in path and save the changes.
Open command prompt[window+R] and type adb + enter.
In Android Studio you can set the general Android SDK path in the file: %Home%.AndroidStudio2.1\config\options\jdk.table.xml
Click on File menu.
Select Project Structure.
Edit the path in SDK Location text box.
From the next time Android Studio will use this location for all your projects.
N.B.: Avoid having spaces in the path as it may sometimes lead to issues.
This is how its done,in Android Studio for windows
Done
For Android Studio 3.1.2:
Tools>> SDK Manager>> Edit "Android SDK Location" to new location
After that, Set environment variable $ANDROID_HOME to your new SDK location
I had the same problem, but with the sdk path pointing to a mounted drive. I found, that simply quit Android Studio, unmount the device and restart Android Studio made it ask for the sdk location, because it had none (Android Studio Beta 0.8.7).
Therefore I guess if you just quit Android Studio, delete \android-studio\sdk or move it somewhere else and start Android Studio again, it should ask for the sdk location aswell.
Though many of the above answers serve the purpose, there is one straight forward thing we can do in project itself.
In Eclipse, go to Window->Preferences, select "Android" from left side menu. On the right panel you will see "SDK Location". Provide the path here.
Good luck.
In Android studio 1.2.2 you can simply changes project based SDK,
Steps:
Right click on Module and select Open module setting or press F12
Select SDK location from left hand side
Now you can change SDK location as well as JDK location from this page
When I ran into trouble with this on Android Studio 3.1.4 the solution was to go into the app dropdown on my project, then Edit Configurations > Defaults > JAR Application where there is a JRE box on the initial Configuration tab. Setting that to my JRE path solved the problem for me.
Simple Answer Work For Sure...
Step 1: Right Click On The Project>> Select Open Module Setting -->
Step 2: Select SDK Location From the Right Side below image
Step 3: Now browse the SDK location from your computer as show below...
Step 4: Click on OK.
I'm guessing from the responses that people aren't understanding your question... If I'm right in that you want to have ~\Desktop\github\ then changing the SDK location isn't what you're after.
From Android Studio 3.2.1:
From the new project dialog, choose
Configure -> Preferences -> Tools -> Terminal -> Start Directory
Put the folder you want as your project default in the field.
e.g. Mine is set to
~/Desktop/github/
since all my work is in
~/Desktop/github/
Just go to
(Main Menu) File > "Sync Project With Gradle Files"
click ok on the popup, it will change your sdk directory.
