Android SDK location

Question

I have Xamarin Studio, and I need to specify the Android SDK Location. I have previously had Xamarin Studio working on my pc, and for some reason, I need to enter this again

Answer 1

On 28 April 2019 official procedure is the following:

1. Download and install Android Studio from - link
2. Start Android Studio. On first launch, the Android Studio will download latest Android SDK into officially accepted folder
3. When Android studio finish downloading components you can copy/paste path from the "Downloading Components" view logs so you don't need to type your [Username]. For Windows: "C:\Users\ [Username] \AppData\Local\Android\Sdk"

Answer 2

Have you tried to find this folder via the Windows explorer? Can it been seen? Maybe the folder is hidden (by default install - it is hidden by the Windows operating system in the users folder). Just check that you can view hidden folders in Windows explorer (by the settings in the windows control panel > appearance and personalization > folder options > show hidden files and folders.

This happened to me as the Windows OS could not find the SDK folder which was required for the Android Studio SDK path, and was resolved by showing hidden files and folders, which enabled me to complete the default SDK install path location.

Answer 3

press WIN+R and from the run dialog run dialog Execute the following: **%appdata%..\Local\Android**

You should now be presented with Folder Explorer displaying the parent directory of the SDK.
