How to stop Android Studio from trying to install Android SDK updates? - android-studio

I have linked my Android Studio project's Android SDK Directory to our software team's standard Android SDK directory (I can't change it, so please save the effort of typing "I can't understand why you don't simply use the normal path from Android Studio :-) ).
I have disabled automatic updates in Android Studio (see screenshot). Then closed and re-opened the project.
Yet, every time I try to build, it tries to install an update to Android SDK and fails.
How can I stop Android Studio from trying to install unwanted updates?

Android Studio shows that SDK installed, but it not installed

I had a problem with Android Studio, then I try to delete all related files & folders, and remove Android Studio, to install all things again. I follow: How to completely uninstall Android Studio from windows(v10)?
Now, when I install Android Studio (Arctic Fox 2020.3.1 Patch 3).
It shows that Android Sdk (Installed), and request me to provide sdk location.. So, there are No installed sdk, I deleted all things, cleaned registry, BUT Android Studio still say its installed!
What I can do, to convince Android Studio that I want to install SDK also!
After hours of search here & there, My friend found that youtube video in Arabic, who described the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRT70VRKsq4
After 4.2.1 update of Android Studio, If your windows language is Arabic, and regional settings (التنسيق الإقليمي وتنسيق الأرقام في ويندوز) is Saudi Arabia (in Arabic).
The Android Studio will show that: SDK installed, & AVD will not work currently, (after application runs on Emulator, the debugger will not connect to app, and no logs will appear).
Solution:
Change regional settings to English (US).
in Arabic:
غير المنطقة إلى الإنجليزية،
from Microsoft support:
Change the Windows regional settings to modify the appearance of some data types
Notice: changing Numbers only to 123456790, will not solve this problem.
Then, all things will work currently, Android Studio will show that SDK not installed & install it, and will show all platform tools, & more.

Do I need to install Intellij after downloading Android Studio

I am downloading Android Studio now so I can create mobile apps using Kotlin and I am totally new to it, I checked the Android Studio user guide and it says it is strongly built on IntelliJ so I am wondering do I still need to download IntelliJ or once I download Android Studio, I will find all I want in it.
Android Studio has built-in plugins with IntelliJ software. You don't need to install IntelliJ. Android Studio will work just fine.

Android Emulator Directory is Missing

I have recently come up with coding in dart and using flutter ...
after longtime spending for setting up SDK and stuffs for dart and flutter the only thing I need is an android studio set up and running SDK to it.
I'm actually running on Kali Linux and when I open an android studio I give it the directory file of the Android SDK but it says the folder is empty and there is no SDK (Sth like that ...). But I have downloaded the SDK recently... By the way when i click on next it warns me that the android emulator directory is missing!
Do the emulator or SDK needs a kind of root access !?
is there any way to connect the android SDK to vscode instead of an android studio?
Do android emulator only work on Ubuntu and no response for Debian based ?!
You don't need to download the SDK separately android studio will automatically install it, and you can even choose with version of the SDK you want.
If you haven't gotten that option when installing. Reinstall it form the website!
Not some stupid PPA or app market https://developer.android.com/studio

Android Studio on Ubuntu 14

I am unable to install android studio on ubuntu 14.
The archive provided here https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other does not have the entire setup. The readme file says -
The Android SDK archive initially contains only the basic SDK tools. It does
not contain an Android platform or any third-party libraries. In fact, it
doesn't even have all the tools you need to develop an application.
Tried with the procedure described here, but the ppa is not available https://launchpad.net/~paolorotolo/+archive/ubuntu/android-studio.
Android Studio can be found here.
The link you posted points to the Android SDK which is required for Android programming - when you install the Android Studio it'll ask you to provide the Android SDK too.
