ERROR: CMake '3.19.0' or higher was not found in SDK, PATH, or by cmake.dir property

I have done some searching and found that I should install CMake in SDK manager but the 3.19+ version does not show here as shown in the picture below.
NoCmake3.19
Is there anything that has to be done in order to have CMake 3.19?
Edit:
The android studio current version is 4.2.2
This happen when I want to try google/filament samples in android
you can manually download the newest cmake version (https://cmake.org/download/) and specify in gradle to use it: https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/install-ndk
Add cmake.dir=/usr/local into your local.properties. AndroidStudio add /binto execute cmake.
Follow the instructions here to download and add CMake to your path: https://tudat.tudelft.nl/installation/setupDevMacOs.html
Add cmake.dir=/usr/local into your local.properties
Rebuild your Android app
If u need a specific version (for me I needed 3.18.1) you can download from here
Leaving this here for future reference. thanks.

Upgrade Android Studio but AVD manager doesnt work

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':path_provider:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
Could not find tools.jar. Please check that C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_241 contains a valid JDK installation.
I changed gradle.properties, some files works by changing to org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m
most of the files doesnt work.
please help
regards,
Your jdk path should resemble like this "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241".
The path you've mentioned above is jre.
Also, I think you've recently changed your JAVA_PATH in your system or installed any other software to create JDK path in their installed director, which now conflicts with your old path.
Anyway, go to your Environmental Variables and check for the JAVA_PATH and PATH variables contain the correct jdk path or not.

installing Help viewer without installing visual studio

I want to take some of MSDN help files offline on a windows machine which does not have visual studio installed on it. the problem is that I cannot find a way to get and install Help Library manager and Help viewer without installing the visual studio or sql server.
How can I install them without installing the visual studio or sql server?
I just wrote an answer on how to do this for an older question, which can be found here.
For convenience, here are the essential steps to get Help Viewer 2.2 to run without going to the trouble of installing a complete copy of Visual Studio 2015:
Most of the files required by HlpViewer.exe can be found on the Visual Studio DVD in two different MSI packages. By passing some additional command line arguments to msiexec, it's quite easy to install them manually:
msiexec.exe /i help3_vs_net.msi VS_SETUP=1
msiexec.exe /i vs_minshellcore.msi MSIFASTINSTALL="7" VSEXTUI="1"
While this installs most necessary files, it doesn't account for all of them ... to keep things simple, I copied the rest of them from a working installation on another computer:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\HelpLibrary2
Essentially only contains a CatalogType.xml and some empty directories.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Help Viewer\v2.2\CatalogInfo\VS11_en-us.cab
Moreover, it's necessary to provide the application with a valid ContentStore path by importing the following .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Help\v2.2\Catalogs\VisualStudio14]
"LocationPath"="%ProgramData%\\Microsoft\\HelpLibrary2\\Catalogs\\VisualStudio14\\"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Help\v2.2\Catalogs\VisualStudio14\en-US]
"SeedFilePath"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Help Viewer\\v2.2\\CatalogInfo\\VS11_en-us.cab"
"catalogName"="Visual Studio Documentation"
Finally, I created a new Application Shortcut and changed its Target: to read as follows:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Help Viewer\v2.2\HlpViewer.exe" /catalogName VisualStudio14 /launchingApp Microsoft,VisualStudio,14
Et voilĂ !, with that HlpViewer.exe should finally execute without any problems!
In MSDN to USB v2.5, you don't have to have any Visual Studio IDE installed:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/66595500/3268088
I know its old question. I just run into a problem involving Help Viewer.
my recovery steps are :
get sqlexress installer (if you haven't got one)
after extracting the files, check its folder and find for "help" folder
I got mine "SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU\redist\VisualStudioShell\Help\x64"
run install.exe with administration priveleges (Run as Administrator)
all done.

How to set gradle home while importing existing project in Android studio

How to set gradle home while importing existing project in Android studio. While trying to import I need to set up this path.
The gradle plugin (which contains a bundled version of gradle) should be already installed in where/you/installed/android-studio/plugins/gradle so you shouldn't need to manually download it. Depending on the version of Android Studio, that last directory may be where/you/installed/android-studio/gradle/gradle-x.y.z (x.y.z is the version, so check your filesystem for the exact path).
If you intend on doing gradle development outside Android Studio or want a different version, you can download it separately and point it at that path, but if you only want to get Android Studio working with the bundled version, this path should do it.
For Mac OS, you can use the following -
/usr/local/opt/gradle/libexec/ or more generically - path/to/gradle/libexec/ - this is recommended. (the first path is what's achieved after installing gradle via Homebrew)
/path/to/android/studio/plugins/gradle - I don't recommend this because this version of Gradle might be out of date, and Android Studio itself might say it's incompatible.
You should be able to find it in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\Gradle\Gradle 2.2.1. This is running Windows 7 64-Bit. Android Studio 1.0.2.
OSX (Less han two minutes)
Open terminal
Check if Gradle installed gradle --version, if so, goto step 4
If not brew install gradle and Goto step 2
Copy /usr/local/opt/gradle/libexec/
Paste it in Import Project Window in Android Studio > Gradle Home
Important, Celebrate!
Download Gradle http://www.gradle.org/downloads
Install
Set Gradle home to the install directory
On Linux run: whereis gradle.
For me it was /usr/lib/gradle/1.10.
I ran into same problem. I selected location C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\plugins\gradle as Gradle Home
In Ubuntu 14.04 after $ sudo apt-get install gradle
I've got
$ whereis gradle
gradle: /usr/bin/gradle /usr/bin/X11/gradle /usr/share/gradle /usr/share/man/man1/gradle.1.gz
The path to Gradle was /usr/share/gradle
For Mac,
/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-3.2
Download Gradle as described above, but make sure you download version 1.9 and not the current release (1.11). I just had the same problem and downloaded the current release only to have Android Studio tell me it wasn't supported.
On Arch Linux I could not find it, so I added:
echo $APP_HOME
to /usr/bin/grade (found over which gradle)
The Install dir for me was /usr/share/java/gradle/
For migrating from eclipse to android studio
(Do not need to specify the Gradle home.)
Locate the project you exported from Eclipse, expand it, select the build.gradle file and click OK.
In the following dialog, leave Use gradle wrapper selected and click OK.
Try this for windows users

I tried byteit101's solution but whether I chose android-studio-path/plugins/gradle or android-studio-path/plugins/gradle/lib the IDE said it isn't correct.
Then I changed the gradle home to android-studio-path/gradle/gradle-x.x.x and it works.
Mac OSX / Linux
Step 1: Open terminal :)
Step 2: Open .bash_profile in vim to edit:
> vi ~/.bash_profile
Step 3: Add line:
> export GRADLE_HOME=/usr/local/opt/gradle
(for me it was this location, it can be different for u)
Step 4: Add line:
> export PATH="$PATH:$GRADLE_HOME/bin"
(to export bin directory of gradle)
Step 5: Verify by reopening the terminal or new tab, and check by echoing:
> echo $GRADLE_HOME
On Linux Mint 17 it was
/usr/share/gradle
for me
If you are on a Windows machine, go to the directory:
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\
Click the gradle-4.4 folder from Android Studio\File\Settings, and then click the Apply button.
This is my solution on AndroidStudio/Idea for Mac
$ env | grep GRADLE
GRADLE_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/2.6
GRADLE_USER_HOME=/Users/leon/.gradle
I used umake to install android studio. For me the path was
/home/user/.local/share/umake/android/android-studio/gradle/gradle-2.14.1
I had to use this
"C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-4.1"
Change the version if you have a different one.
I am using Lubuntu, I ended up finding it in :
/usr/share/gradle
Don't need to download or specify anything...
Just go to the install Android Studio plugins Path and search for any file like gradle-wrapper-x.xx.jar (x.xx = version number). Copy it to a subfolder of your project root folder named : gradle.
Example :
- file found gradle-wrapper-1.12.jar in plugins folder of Android Studio Install's path
- my project was on D:\android_repo\myProject
- created a folder into D:\android_repo\myProject\gradle
- copy gradle-wrapper-1.12.jar to this folder D:\android_repo\myProject\gradle
- import again my project and no more question about gradle.
In Windows
..\AndroidStudio2.0Beta6\android-studio\gradle\gradle-2.10
I've stumble across this question, trying to build an Ionic + Cordova app using Gradle from Android Studio installation, rather that installing Gradle separately.
On Centos, the Gradle binary was here: /home/YOURUSERNAME/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-VERSION-all/CUSTOM_HASH/gradle-VERSION/bin
So, I've added export PATH=/home/maxim/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-4.1-all/bzyivzo6n839fup2jbap0tjew/gradle-4.1/bin:$PATH to my ~/.bashrc and ionic cordova run android command worked just fine.
If you are on windows machine, go to the directory C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\ and click the gradle folder and apply it on
This worked.
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-3.2
If you're using MacPorts gradle's home is:
/opt/local/share/java/gradle
For Ubuntu default version is /usr/lib/gradle/default.
In case of update, you don't need to reassign link in idea/studio.
For OSX, if going to Finder, navigate to this category: /usr/local/opt/ if you do not see gradle folder, install your grandle version manually:
https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4.1-all.zip
If you are looking for specific Gradle version, simply change the version number from the zip links above, unzip and add that in the Gradle folder /usr/local/opt/gradle
If you are on a Windows machine, gradle home is located inside the installation folder of your Android Studio, usually at:
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-5.1.1
Change the version if you have a different one.
On Windows it was
C:/Android Studio/jre

Windows Azure SDK v1.6 does not contain csrun.exe, where can I download?

I've downloaded and installed the official Windows Azure SDK v1.6 but for some reason csrun.exe (needed for running a package locally) is not in the bin directory with all the other exe files like cspack.exe etc. I have tried reinstalling and still did not get the executible. Is there anywhere to manually download this file, google wasn't any help...
It is installed by the new v1.6 SDK into the directory
C:\Program Files\Windows Azure Emulator\emulator
Just an update to this, looks like this is installed to the following location now.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Emulator
This question was prompted by my attempts to follow the post here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brmeena/archive/2010/08/06/how-to-deploy-azure-roles-in-net-4-0-on-development-fabric.aspx about how to deploy to the dev fabric.
Andrew Patterson is correct in his answer above and I've marked it so, but I also found that I could run the tool from the Windows Azure Command Prompt even when I couldn't find the .exe (I still can't get Windows 7 search to behave)
Sharing here for my own recollection as well as to assist anyone else who might run into this issue.
