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.

Error:Unable to locate adb within SDK in Android Studio
(31 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have been trying to test my app on real device. I keep receiving error message that "unable to locate adb". I have the USB driver for my phone installed. Thank you for the help. The snap shot is shown below.
on your android studio at the top right corner beside the search icon you can find the SDK Manager.
view android SDK location (this will show you your sdk path)
navigate to file explorer on your system, and locate the file path, this should be found something like
Windows=> c://Users/johndoe/AppData/local/android (you can now see the sdk.)
Mac=>/Users/johndoe/Library/Android/sdk
check the platform tools folder and see if you would see anything like adb.exe (it should be missing probably because it was corrupted and your antivirus or windows defender has quarantined it)
close Android Studio, open the Task Manager and finish the ADB.exe process if it's running and then delete the platform tools folder
go back to android studio and from where you left off navigate to sdk tools (this should be right under android sdk location)
uncheck android sdk platform-tools and select ok. (this will uninstall the platform tools from your ide) wait till it is done and then your gradle will sync.
after sync is complete, go back and check the box of android sdk platform-tools (this will install a fresh one with new adb.exe) wait till it is done and sync project and then you are good to go.
If you are still having problems, you may need to set the Project SDK.
I hope this saves someone some hours of pain.
if using avast go for virus chest,will find adb,restore it by clicking right button..thats all,perfectly works
open Studio settings-->System settings --> Android SDK --> select SDK tool tab -->> select "Android SDK platform tool" and install
(I am using Android Studio 3.0.1)
I downloaded "SDK Platform-Tools" from
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Copied 'adb.exe' to C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools.
Then I got no errors when running the app.
I also added C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe to the exception list of my anti-virus tool
I use android studio in Windows 7 and i have AVG for antivirus. The first time you launch adb, AVG prompts you to add avg.exe in antivirus vault. If you accept, then you android studio dont have access to run adb.exe. So open
avg >> options >> Virus Vault >> Restore (select the adb file)
In Android Studio, Click on 'Tools' on the top tab bar of android studio
Tools >> Android >> SDK Manager >> Launch Standalone Sdk manager
there you can clearly see which platform tool is missing , then just install that and your adb will start working properly.In Image You Can see every thing
Due to some problem my adb.exe, was lost. My space of work suffered an electrical energy interruption, after that, I could not run or compile android programs.
Adb.exe is a file which should be located in your [android directory]/sdk/platform-tools. In my case, the file dissapeared, however the platform-tools was ther. My solution was as follows:
I changed the name directory of [android directory]/sdk/platform-tools towards platform-tools_OLD, in order to hide it for android studio without erase it.
In [android directory]/sdk there is a file SDK Manager.exe, ... I launched it.
A window of "Android SDK Manager" is shown, then, in the Tools folder I chose "Android SDK Platform Tools" and then, Install packages.
Enter to Android Studio
This was well for me
Else this will helps you
The ADB is now located in the Android SDK platform-tools.
Check your [sdk directory]/platform-tools directory and if it does not exist, then open the SDK manager in the Android Studio (a button somewhere in the top menu, android logo with a down arrow), switch to SDK tools tab and and select/install the Android SDK Platform-tools.
Alternatively, you can try the standalone SDK Manager: Open the SDK manager and you should see a "Launch Standalone SDK manager" link somewhere at the bottom of the settings window. Click and open the standalone SDK manager, then install/update the
"Tools > Android SDK platform tools".
If the above does not solve the problem, try reinstalling the tools: open the "Standalone SDK manager" and uninstall the Android SDK platform-tools, delete the [your sdk directory]/platform-tools directory completely and install it again using the SDK manager.
Hope this helps!
I had the same problem, and I solved it by doing:
(You should be connected to the internet)
click the logo of the SDK Manager
click Launch StandAlone SDK Manager (wait a moment)
if the dialog of the SDK manager shows, you click cexbox [Tools] and Install all packages
if the download is finished, you restart android studio and boot again..
After that, it should work.
Got it to work go to the local.properties file under your build.gradle files to find out the PATH to your SDK, from the SDK location go into the platform-tools folder and look and see if you have adb.exe. If not go to http://adbshell.com/downloads and download ADB KITS. Copy the zip folder's contents into the platform-tools folder and re-make your project.
I didn't need to update the PATH in the Extended Controls Settings section on the emulator, I left Use detected ADB location settings on. Hope this makes this faster for you !
I fixed this issue by deleting and inserting new platform-tools folder inside android sdk folder.
But it is caused by my Avast anti virus software. Where I can found my adb.exe in Avast chest. You can also solve by restoring it from Avast chest.
If you are using Anti-Virus, you can first check virus chest and restore from there. Otherwise, just go to your SDK Manager and install Android SDK Tools.
Check your [sdk directory]/platform-tools directory and if it does not exist, then open the SDK manager in the Android Studio (a button somewhere in the top menu, android logo with a down arrow), switch to SDK tools tab and and select/install the Android SDK Platform-tools.
Alternatively, you can try the standalone SDK Manager: Open the SDK manager and you should see a "Launch Standalone SDK manager" link somewhere at the bottom of the settings window. Click and open the standalone SDK manager, then install/update the
"Tools > Android SDK platform tools".
If the above does not solve the problem, try reinstalling the tools: open the "Standalone SDK manager" and uninstall the Android SDK platform-tools, delete the [your sdk directory]/platform-tools directory completely and install it again using the SDK manager.
Hope this helps!
I want to manipulate my App's icon using "Image Asset Studio", usually I start it by following these instructions:
1- In the Project window, select the Android view.
2- Right-click the res folder and select New > Image Asset...
so I reach this window:
but for some reason I don't see this option "Image Asset" at the "New" menu.
NOTE: If I create a new project then I can see "New > Image Asset" normally.
Update:
I'm clicking on this directory.
I run this android studio on Ubuntu 18.04:
Android Studio 3.5
Build #AI-191.8026.42.35.5791312, built on August 9, 2019
JRE: 1.8.0_202-release-1483-b49-5587405 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Linux 4.15.0-62-generic
There is actually an issue filed in GitHub related to this.
In your case, it seems that you treat a Flutter project as a regular Android project. AFAIK, Flutter projects are not Android projects.
So one of the workaround is also available:
open android studio File->Open folder->navigate to your flutter
project and select the Android folder. Wait for it to sync, then
navigate inside the Android studio folder and find the res folder
right click on it and choose New you will see the Image asset studio.
Also take note of this:
don't open the whole project of flutter using Android studio just open
the android folder found inside the flutter project with Android
studio, so the Android studio can treat it as a Android project rather
than flutter project, which will give you all Android features like
the one ur looking for #image asset studio
And you can also check this blog post about changing your Flutter app icons. And this YouTube video. You will only need your desired image for the icon and App Icon Generator.
To summarize what was written in the blog and discussed in the YouTube post, here are the simple steps you need to follow:
Step 1: Visit appicon.co and upload your intended image to convert to icons, select the types you would like to be generated and click “generate”. This will download a zip folder to your system. (You may skip this step if you have all resolutions in place with you.)
Step 2: Unzip the file. You’ll have two folders by the name of “android” and “Assets.xcassets”.
Step 3: Changing icons for Android App.
In your Flutter project, move to android/app/src/main/res which has a lot of folders starting with “mipmap-”. Delete all of them. And replace from your downloaded and unzipped AppIcons folder, everything that’s under android.
if you right click on res folder and Image Asset is not enabled just follow the following steps they are working for me.
File --> Open and select to open android(which is inside your project) in a new window.
Then if you go to the res folder (on the new window) and right click the Image Asset is enabled.
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'm following a tutorial on setting up Android Studio and the current version that I'm using (2.1.2) is different than what they are using. I'm in the stand alone SDK manager and it's not in the listed options. Below is a screenshot if that helps.
1.Open Project Structure (Press F4 on your project).
2.Select Modules on the left pane.
3.Choose your project and you will see Dependencies TAB above the third Column.
4.Click on the plus sign in the bottom. Then a tree-based directory chooser dialog will pop up, navigate to your folder containing
android-support-v4.jar, press OK.
5.Press OK.
(a progress bar will appear, and voila it should download what you need)
By the way, you should really install the latest android-sdk update. From your screenshot, it doesn't look like you have yet.
if nothing works right then try to visit the link below
Android Support Library Manual Download
I've upgraded Android Studio from 0.8.* to 1.0.0 RC2 and finally 1.0. Somewhere between the RC2 and 1.0 Android Studio seems to have lost most of its references to the Android SDK.
Some indicators of this are:
All Android SDK tools have disappeared from the toolbar
No longer possible to attach the debugger or run apps from within Android Studio
In 'Project Structure', the SDKs list shows a list of previously added SDKs but when pressing '+' to add an SDK it only allows me to add JDKs.
In 'Project Structure', the previously added SDKs show "Unknown SDK home path" with a path to the location of the Android SDK. Editing the field with the '...' gives me a "Select Home Directory for Unknown SDK" and pointing to an Android SDK location and pressing OK shows a warning dialog saying "The selected directory is not a valid home for Unknown SDK".
The 'android' facet is an unknown facet type
How do I make Android Studio recognize the Android SDK again?
After a few hours of research (uninstalling and re-installing) I worked out how to fix it but still I don't know how it happened.
These are the steps:
Close your current project
Go to Settings
Click on Plugins
Enable Android Support
Follow the wizard
If you are on Windows, you can right-click the toolbar, and select Customize Menus and Toolbars -> Main Toolbars -> Android.MainToolBarActionGroup. You can also select the SDK Manager and AVD Manager from the Main menu.
