Answer 1

Create a file called local.properties in your root directory of your project.

With the contents;

sdk.dir=c:\\path\\to\\android-sdk

Answer 2

on your command line, run:

mvn clean install -- Dandroid.sdk.path="/Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk/"

none of the other methods really worked. (setting ANDROID_HOME doesn't do anything)

Answer 3

Setting an ANDROID_HOME variable in your .bashrc or whatever will work, but remember to export that variable so that it is available to subprocesses. Setting ANDROID_HOME with the other methods suggested here will get you through some initial errors, but without ANDROID_HOME exported your build will probably fail at some point.
