Android Sdk Location

Android SDK location

Do you have a screen of the content of your folder? This is my setup:

I hope these screenshots can help you out.

Where is the Android SDK folder located?

You can find the path in the Android SDK Manager.
On the top it lists the path, the default path in Windows is

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

and on Linux

/home/YourName/Android/Sdk/

Android Studio SDK location

Download the SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/ to C:\android-sdk\.

Then when you launch Android Studio again, it will prompt you for the SDK path just point it to: C:\android-sdk\.

Update: new download location, https://developer.android.com/studio/#command-tools

What is the default Android SDK path used by Android Studio?

From searching in the web it seems to be:

• Linux: ~/Android/Sdk
• Mac: ~/Library/Android/sdk
• Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\sdk

I find it odd to have inconsistent paths and even the lower/upper case for Linux and Mac ("Sdk" vs "sdk"), but it seems to be this way...

Flutter does not find android sdk

Flutter provides a command to update the Android SDK path:

Use :

flutter config --android-sdk <path-to-your-android-sdk-path>

Finding Android SDK on Mac and adding to PATH

1. How to find it

• Open Android studio, go to Android Studio > Preferences
• Search for sdk
• Something similar to this (this is a Windows box as you can see) will show

You can see the location there – most of the time it is:

/Users/<name>/Library/Android/sdk

2. How to install it, if not there

• Go to Android standalone SDK download page
• Download the zip file for macOS
• Extract it to a directory

3. How to add it to the path

Open your Terminal edit your ~/.bash_profile file in nano by typing:

nano ~/.bash_profile

If you use Zsh, edit ~/.zshrc instead.

Go to the end of the file and add the directory path to your $PATH:

export PATH="${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/tools:${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:${PATH}"

• Save it by pressing Ctrl+X
• Restart the Terminal
• To see if it is working or not, type in the name of any file or binary which are inside the directories that you've added (e.g. adb) and verify it is opened/executed

Your SDK location contains non-ASCII characters - no Android in Tools Menu

As a matter of fact at the moment there is no other way than to re-install Android Studio to some other directory with no non-ASCII characters and blank spaces, like С:\Android\SDK

Android SDK location should not contain whitespace, as this cause problems with NDK tools

As the warning message states, the SDK location should not contain whitespace.

Your SDK is at C:\Users\Giacomo B\AppData\Local\Android\sdk. There is a whitespace character in Giacomo B.

The easiest solution is to move the SDK somewhere else, where there is no space or other whitespace character in the path, such as C:\Android\sdk. You can point both Android Studio installations to the new location.

Android SDK Ubuntu default path

The Path will be like,

Linux /home/AccountName/Android/Sdk

• For Linux: ~/Android/Sdk
• For Mac: ~/Library/Android/sdk
• For Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\sdk
