Answer 1

4/1/16

I also found it in the gradle properties of my project:

1. Expand Project
2. local.properties for gradle SDK
3. Even tells you location of SDK with path, time stamp and location

Answer 2

MacOs Android Studio

Just create a blank project. Go the project explore panel and open the local.properties file. You can find the SDK path as below.

sdk.dir=/Users/{USER}/Library/Android/sdk

Answer 3

It could be any location on your Mac. Preferable where you have Read,Write and Execute Access. Please note this is just a starter kit. Android SDK Manager would add packages depending on the platforms you need.

Answer 4

/Applications is the most natural place. Maybe /usr/local for the old Unix folks.

Answer 5

Check here too /usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk/

Answer 6

I install it using Android Studio and i found it here: /Users/username/Library/Android/sdk
