I am new to programming.
I have never coded and I have never used Android Studio and GitHub.
Sorry if I ask stupid questions.
I downloaded this project in ZIP on GitHub: https://github.com/raghavtilak/Paint
When I open it in Android Studio, I get an error message:
"The SDK path 'C:\Sdk\Sdk' does not belong to a directory.
Android Studio will use this Android SDK instead : 'C:\Users\jane\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk' and will modify the projectct's local."
What should I do to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.
When you open the project in Android Studio it should ask you to change the SDK path automatically. If it does you can just accept it and it will change the path without you noticing and without any problems.
If it does not ask you, just search your SDK Path (on your computer) and change it in your local.properties in the project panel (or the windows explorer) in android studio.
I have installed Android Studio, but its not locating Android SDK, I even tried to change the directory, but in vain.
Please check the photo to see the problem
go to the SDK manager just like in you image, press on edit, you'll get a setup wizard that will download the SDK files for you, if you think it's already been installed try to use the following directory
C:\Users'your_username'\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
this is where the SDK is usually downloaded to, also note that the appdata folder is hidden in the file explorer
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
I might sound noob here but I can't see a clear way of opening existing Flutter Project in Android Studio 3.1.2.
I checked this but it didn't work. So I want to know if there is a standard IDE way of doing this? I also can't find any docs clearly mentioning it. Do I need to install a 3rd party plugin?
After opening it as an Existing Android Studio Project, I get the following error:
The error is solved by running Get Dependencies. Is it a normal behavior?
Install Flutter plugin for Android studio: https://flutter.io/get-started/editor/
Open Android Studio
Open existing Android Studio project by using one of below methods:
EASIEST WAY: Drag your project folder and drop to Android Studio.
Other ways:
What works for me was to open existing Android Studio project like mentioned above, and then go to menu
Tools -> Flutter -> Flutter Clean
Then configuration window will open and ask you to locate flutter sdk. After locating the sdk, click OK and then the flutter functions will be available (Pub buttons, runs menu). After that you can proceed to get the dependencies (pub get).
It's basically cleaning the project folder of previous setting(s) which might conflicting with the system (android studio). But that won't happen if you get the project from source repository because all of the junk files wont be in the project folder.
The quickest way on macOS is
open -a Android\ Studio android when you are in the root project directory.
Alternatively, if you use the jetbrains toolbox, you can enable "Shell Scripts" in its settings. This will create a binary in the folder of your choice, so you have to add this folder to your PATH. Then, you can use studio . inside the Android folder, or studio android in the flutter project. The benefit of this, is it also works with other Jetbrains products (e.g. charm project_dir or clion project_dir. Unfortunately this method glitches out (for pycharm at least).
Looks like Android Studio can't load Android Application module from Flutter project automatically. I also have same problem, so in my situation Gradle can't be found, because of lack of Android project.
There's important note from official site:
Important: Do not use the New > Project from existing sources option for Flutter projects
I suggest, same is for Open option.
Just Open your project as normal, and then in [Android Studio > Preferences > Languages&Frameworks > Flutter > Flutter SDK path] select the path where you downloaded & unpacked Flutter SDK.
I know it's already late, but you can open an existing Flutter project in Android Studio by following these steps (make sure you have already installed Flutter & Dart plugin and Flutter SDK):
Click Open from File menu in Android Studio,
Go to the path of the project,
Click Open from the dialog,
When the project opens in Android studio, it will show an error of packages and dependencies. So, click on Get Dependencies on the top. Android Studio will automatically add all the required dependencies and packages.
There is a simple way of doing this in android:
Just Open your project as normal, and on the top right corner, click on Flutter Attach option, and voila!
See Attached screen grab!
Usually you can open your Flutter project in Android Studio simply when you right click on the android folder > Flutter > Open Android module in Android Studio but sometimes this option could be disabled, check this answer to enable..
I just moved to Android Studio from Eclipse, and I found that it always shows "fetching documentation" when I use quick documentation (Ctrl+Q).
How can I solve this problem?
I downloaded the documentation for API 19, and the problem persists.
The problem is Android Studio does not automatically update the source link of reference even when the documentation is already downloaded.
The default link in jdk.table.xml is http://developer.android.com/reference/ (android studio tries to connect to this online server even if the network is blocked).
To solve the problem, we can just redirect the reference to local source.
MacOS
On MacOS, the config file jdk.table.xml is under
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio<version>/options/, and the docs are here:
~/Library/Android/sdk/docs/, or the custom path of your Android SDK.
In jdk.table.xml, find all the lines:
<root type="simple" url="http://developer.android.com/reference/">
and modify them to
<root type="simple" url="file://$USER_HOME$/Library/Android/sdk/docs/reference/">
Windows
On Windows, the file jdk.table.xml is under
C:\Users\Name\.AndroidStudio<version>\config\options
In AndroidStudio 3.3, modify to
<root type="simple" url="file://$USER_HOME$/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/docs/reference" />
Android Studio (any os)
Then, in File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart… select Invalidate, and retry using Quick Documentation. It should display instantly. If it doesn't, select Invalidate and Restart, and you should be good to go.
Update:
On the newest Android Studio versions you can do as following:
Navigate to Tools > SDK Manager
Select the SDK Platforms tab
Make sure the Show Package Details checkbox, at the bottom right, is checked.
Select your target API level from the list, check the Sources for Android [API_Level] and click apply.
For older Android Studio versions:
Go to: Tools > Android > SDK Manager. Select SDK Tools tab and:
if Documentation for Android SDK is unchecked, check it and click apply
If Documentation for Android SDK is checked, uncheck it and click apply. After uninstall completes check it again and click apply.
UPDATE: out-of-date, please check #Htea's answer.
I was having the same issue as you. Here's what fixed it for me:
Make sure you have the Documentation package downloaded in SDK Manager.
Exit Studio if it's running.
Delete the file named "jdk.table.xml" located in ~/.AndroidStudioX.Y/config/options/ (remember to take a backup first!).
Relaunch Android Studio. should work correctly now and it should regenerate the file automatically.
Note:
This worked for me on Ubuntu 14.04 & Android Studio 0.8.11 (EDIT: Several users are reporting this solution also works for newer versions of Android Studio).
If it still doesn't work, try deleting and re-downloading the Documentation package from inside Android SDK Manager then try the above steps.
If you're running Windows, the file is located at "%UserProfile%.AndroidStudio\config\options", and if you're running OS X, it's located at "~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio/options" (credits to #Gero and #Alex Lipov).
Hope it helps.
The reason for me was that I had not downloaded sources for my SDK version defined by compileSdkVersion property in the build file (now called compileSdk in AGP 7.0.0).
So, in Android Studio 4.0 and higher do this:
Go to Settings 🡲 Android SDK 🡲 SDK Platforms tab 🡲 select Show Package Details checkbox at the bottom 🡲 under your target API Android section check the Sources for Android xx 🡲 click Ok and wait for the download to finish.
Thanks to Cyn45 for their answer.
As other answers said, it's because the Android Studio is trying to fetch the javadoc online (from http://developer.android.com/reference/), which will be very slow if the network not good, especially in China because google is blocked. So we should change this setting and let Android Studio fetch javadoc locally:
Download Android SDK Documentation using the Android SDK Manager.
Open the file ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio2.2/options/jdk.table.xml, see notes below to make sure the correct file is edited.
In the file jdk.table.xml, replace all http://developer.android.com/reference/ to the path to your sdk reference folder. For example file://$USER_HOME$/tools/adt-bundle-mac/sdk/docs/reference on my Mac.
On OS X, if you have used several versions of Android Studio, there may be several configuration folders for each version (under ~/Library/Preferences/), you should change the jdk.table.xml in the right folder, in my case I should edit jdk.table.xml under the folder AndroidStudio2.2.
On Windows
File location of jdk.table.xml
C:\Users\[your windows user name]\.AndroidStudio2.3\config\options\jdk.table.xml
Notes
"." before AndroidStudio directory
version number after ".AndroidStudio". Be sure to edit the version number of Android Studio you're currently using. Previous versions will still have directories here as well.
Line to edit
Before
<root type="simple" url="http://developer.android.com/reference/" />
After
<root type="simple" url="file://C:/Android/sdk/docs/reference" />
Notes
C:/Android/sdk/docs/reference replace with Android SDK location on your machine
if you're copy/pasting location from File Explorer, replace backslashes (\) with forward slashes (/)
Each installed Android SDK version will have its own docs XML entry
Edit the line above in each SDK version found in jdk.table.xml (if you want quick docs when targeting those versions in build.gradle). e.g. If you have Android SDK API 25 installed, you'd find a section to edit under <name value="Android API 25 Platform" />
Invalidate Caches / Restart after change!
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart...
I also found this issue with Android studio 0.8.9 & 0.8.14, here's a simple solution:
File -> Invalid Caches/Restart -> Invalidate and Restart
Sometimes the documentation package may be missing or not up-to-date.
Try open the Android SDK manager(Tool->Android->SDK Manager) and install the 'Documentation for Android SDK' in the latest release, for now it's Android 5.0(API 21), then restart Android studio.
If this happens again, just invalidate the caches.
For android studio 3.4, all you need to do is go to sdk manager -> SDK Tools, check "Documentation for Android SDK" and click apply.
It will automatically update the jdk.table.xml to point to the source you have downloaded.
I found a solution.
Close the android studio and delete the c:\Users\xxx.AndroidStudioBeta\ (in my case)
Change the android sdk path name
Open the android studio, it will ask for the sdk path
Now you can change back the sdk path or using the new sdk path.
You will find Ctrl+Q will work fine. (Don't import old setting)
I think we need download the sdk document before set the sdk path to Android studio. But the Android studio should handle this case or give us a option to set it.
For a quick workaround edit /etc/hosts (or C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts) file and add the line:
0.0.0.0 developer.android.com
This will prevent it but you can comment it out when you need to fetch the latest or ones not cached or read the docs online.
UPDATE: From unknown exactly version, just simply download Android Documentation in SDK Manager could fix the problem. My 3.4.1 do so.
But I don't know whether older version could works as well or not.
I meet the same issue too,but I solved it just now. I used the Android Studio with SDK before I solved it,and then I download a Android Studio Zip without SDK,and run it,and the issue disappeared.
You can try it.
you can disable it, in Android Studio Preference
Android Studio -> Preference -> Editor -> General -> Code Completion -> Show the documentation pupup in XX ms
