Android Studio Files Backup on Linux - linux

When Android studio is installed in Linux, there are several supporting files which are downloaded by Android studio. I wish to keep a backup of the entire Android studio installation media or installed files in such a way, so that every time I have to install it in any Linux computer, I can do it offline. The main Android studio installation media is easy to keep a backup of but how can we find out what more was downloaded and installed by it ?

I would not keep the installation file, instead better back-up the installation directory including the android sdk and android ndk installation directory (check where those directories were created).
Furthermore there is the ~/.gradle directory in your home directory which contains all the gradle related cached files.
Regarding the ~/.AndroidStudio3.0 directory in your home dir I am not sure what it contains, but it looks like there are also cached downloaded jar files.
At last you should backup the ~/.android. It contains mostly generated files, however for example the signing keys are very important.

You need to backup the following directories:
$HOME\.android
$HOME\.AndroidStudio3.0
$HOME\.gradle
In addition to the directory where Android Studio was installed.

Android studio fails to find cmake

Due to disk space limits I moved my android SDK to a new drive/location.
I can no longer clean the project as android studio fails to locate cmake because it's looking in the old directory.
I updated the sdk path and most things work, I can even build the project and external ndk files.
But build->clean Project in android studio 3.3.2 can't find cmake when trying to clean because it's looking in the old sdk directory for cmake.
I've completely reinstalled the sdk and android studio from scratch, but it still looks in the old directory on the wrong drive when trying to execute:
task ':app:externalNativeBuildCleanDebug'
Where is this compiler location setting or script or path? and how do I change it to look in the right directory?
I used a grep tool to look for the old directory. They were mostly contained in the .externalNativeBuild directory -- I tried deleting the directory and letting android studio rebuild it, and that managed to clear whatever temp files were holding onto the old sdk directory. It seems to work now.

How to install Android SDK on Linux after deleting earlier version? (2017 Martch)

In the past I could download and install Android SDK separately. I cannot find it any more on Google's Developer site, only Android Studio, which supposedly contains the SDK too (?). When starting the Android Studio it looks for the SDK.
I installed the Ubuntu (I'm using 16.10 Yakkety Yak) repo's Android SDK, that didn't help much because it is in /usr/lib/android-sdk with root privileges and Android Studio disses it. Now I'm scratching my head how I going to scrape all of that off as soon as I find out where can I install an SDK from.
I did check at least 2-3 Stack Overflow Questions on the topic, but all of them seems to be outdated, so please be very careful to mark this as a duplicate.
I have to add that I had both the SDK and the Studio installed before on my system. That turns out to be crucial info.
Are the "command-line tools" at https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#downloads what you're looking for?
Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#linux-bundle and download the zip file. Extract it into your home directory(or anywhere inside your home directory).
Move into that extracted files directory, open up bin folder. You'll see a file[script] named studio.sh. Run that and Android will automatically start downloading the SDK.
Alternatively:
Set your ANDROID_HOME environment variable to /usr/lib/android-sdk:
vim /home/user/.profile
Add
export ANDROID_HOME="/usr/lib/android-sdk"
Well, after wiping the .Android-Studio-2.x and .android directories form my home, Android Studio offered the installation of the SDK. So the cause was leftover of previous installs, I haven't mentioned that fully in my question.

Plugin Folder of Android Studio in Linux

Does someone know where Android Studio stores its downloaded plugin files in Linux OS ? Manually i need to delete a plugin.
Found solution for Mac users here
With the new version of Android studio (4.1) some plugins are compatible with IntelliJ IDEA only.
I had some issues in delete the plugins not compatible from Android Studio so I solved the problem looking in my File Manager.
I located the unsupported plugins in
/home/**YOUR_USERNAME**/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/
I deleted the JAR files and the issue was solved.
Some other pluging anyway could create other issues and Android Studio ask us if we want to report them to Google. Deleting the plugins files or Folders, as above,this issue was solved too.
If you used Jetbrains Toolbox to install Android Studio, it should be located at:
~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio
You can find it at:
/home/**YOUR_USERNAME**/.AndroidStudio2.2/config/plugins
For Ubuntu users
go to home
press ctrl+h to show hidden folder .local
now go to .local folder
you will find the share folder, go inside the share folder
Find Google and go to the Android Studio 4.1 folder and you can see all the plugin folders you have added to your Android Studio.

Android Studio 2.0 does not start download

I wish update Android Studio to 2.0. However, in the Tools-> Check for Updates section:
Selecting Updates, displays:
Selecting Download (in the top image) redirects to: http://tools.android.com/download/studio/canary/latest/, so that I can install a .zip with a seperate IDE, instead of simply downloading within Android Studio.
I do not wish to download and install a second separate IDE. In the past, this feature simply downloaded the new version and merged with the old.
What needs to be configured to get this to work?
This is correct behavior. Some updates cannot be directly patched and you need to download and replace Android Studio with the latest release. You should:
Download the .zip file that you see in the page
Unzip the downloaded file wherever you want
Run the /bin/studio(64).exe file
Import the settings
Remove the old Android Studio directory
Move the extracted dir to where the old Android Studio was installed
Maybe optional: Rename it (maybe it was named android-studio) to "Android Studio"
Hope this helps, I have just done the same.

It looks like you have a corrupted installation file - completely uninstall Android Studio and download it again from the website.
Install the newly downloaded version of Android Studio on your system - the one you had previously downloaded is likely corrupt.
Here are the instructions to uninstall Android Studio completely. Note that some files may be located in a different location depending on where you chose to install and the versions you've been using so if something is not in its normal place, please let me know.
Please follow all of the steps below in order.
Run the uninstaller
The first step is to run the uninstaller. Open Control Panel by accessing it from the menu when you right-click the Start Button (This applies for Windows 8 systems). Then, under Programs, select Uninstall a Program. After that, click on Android Studio and press Uninstall. If you have multiple versions, uninstall them as well.
After you have uninstalled Android Studio, it is recommended that you restart before proceeding with the steps below.
Remove the Android Studio files
To delete any remains of Android Studio setting files, in Windows Explorer (The file browser in Windows), type this as the File Path:
C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]
Replacing [YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME] with the username of your account on Windows. If you don't know your username, navigate to C:\Users and it will list all users on the system.
Here, delete .android, .AndroidStudio and any versions of this directory with versions on the end, .gradle and .m2.
Then, go to
C:\Users\Harry[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]\Roaming
and delete the JetBrains directory.
Finally, go to
C:\Program Files
and delete the Android directory.
Remove the SDK
To delete any remains of the SDK, in Windows Explorer, type this in as the File Path:
C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]\AppData\Local
Here, delete the Android directory.
(Optional) Delete all previous projects
If you want to delete any of your previous projects, the directory where your projects are found is the AndroidStudioProjects directory. It is located in your root user file, C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME].
Hopefully this will now have deleted the Android Studio files and you can now try reinstalling the tools.
If you have any problems doing so, give me a shout :)
1st step please disconnect your internet connection and restart the studio.
If it is not working??? Do the following steps.
Open the folder bin under the directory where you installed your Android Studio.
Find the file idea.properties and open it with Notepad++/UltraEdit/other_edit_tools.
Add disable.android.first.run=true as the final line and save the file.
Restart Android Studio.
Remove lib folder .local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/marketplace
or execute command
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/marketplace/lib
To recover from this state, you need to remove the "python" folder that you find here:
~./AndroidStudio1.2/config/plugins
(Found at https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=164202, worked for me)
I have this problem in android studio in linux OS after install a plugin,i resolved this issue with deleted.AndroidStudio3.2 folder from Home Directory and other way you can go to this directory and delete the plugin that caused it .
Directory : /home/your system's name/.AndroidStudio3.2/config/plugins .
and for windows OS you must go to this Directory :
C:\Users\your system's name.AndroidStudioPreview3.2\config\plugins
Note : this directory is hidden and you must visible befor use it .
I did faced this issue too, where it says to do this in my windows 10:
please report to https://code.google.com/p/android/issues in a windows error message.
It happened when i added some plugins in Android studio in Windows.
It persisted in my machine until i opened my Android Studio as an administrator and then uninstalled the most recent Plugins from File > Settings > Plugins > Installed Plugins.
What went wrong may be I added many plugins and applied all of them at once. May be i should have added one plugin at a time. Like install a plugin > apply that plugin and restart my Android Studio IDE in order to see it's effects.
MacOS
My issue was with a plugin. I tried all sorts of ways of deleting Android folders using terminal. Nothing was working for me until I searched all instances of AndroidStudio in Finder and deleted each of them. After reinstalling everything worked great!
I solved it by removing an incompatile plugin located here: ~\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins.
I deleted the folder "marketplace"
Open the folder bin under the directory where you installed your Android Studio.
Find the file idea.properties and open it with Notepad++/UltraEdit/other_edit_tools.
Add disable.android.first.run=true as the final line and save the file.
Restart Android Studio.
It information helped for me

Download the latest Android Studio from the official website
Uninstall the existing Android Studio from your computer. NB: Remove Settings Preferences too while uninstalling.
Restart your computer
Install the newly downloaded Android Studio
Delete the old directories which will show when run the Android Studio the first time after installation of the new Android Studio.
NB: Do not remove your SDK files after uninstalling the Android Studio, if you want to save your time in installing the Android Studio.
I have solved this problem, depending on the system you use delete the following files:
Linux:
~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.1
Windows:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioPreview4.1
MacOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.1
Thanks #Jonilson Coelho dos Anjos
For Ubuntu users

find Google folder and delete it
Open Android Studio
Enjoy !!
delete paid plugin in android studio plugin folder (C:\Users\your_computer_name\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins) and will work correctly. it works for me.
paid plugin should have to activate otherwise it will conflict.
1) Go to
'C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\Google\'
2) Delete folder
'AndroidStudio4.1'
3) Then restart Android studio.
I hope this works for you.
I came with a new solution. Instead of uninstalling Android Studio and removing all related folders and losing your programming state on Android studio, and beside all these wasting your time, you should try this solution first which worked for me:
In my case the problem was the Windows. As it has crashed recently, I figured out the problem could be it, so I decided to restore the windows to the most recent point before Android Studio crashed. But the system restore tool didn't allow me to restore my system at all, and it said I should repair missing or corrupted system files first.
I first used Microsoft System File Checker tool thread to fix the case, and guess what? after restarting the windows 10, all problems gone. No need for uninstalling the Android Studio or removing any plugins or even restoring the windows to an stable state.
Hope this work for you too.
