The selected directory is not a valid home for Android SDK

Question

I am an android programmer, i use eclipse. i want to try android studio, thus, i download it and tried to open it.

it says that i have to put the sdk path.

Answer 1

Had the same problem. I was trying to select

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-XX

But what I actually had to do was to select android-sdk folder.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk

Then I was able to choose the API I wanted from a list of APIs that would show up.
