I had to manually create
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

Answer 2

by thanks from @Harsh.jaiswal

just delete this files:

 1. c/user/<your system name>/androidstudioproject
 2. c/user/<your system name>/.android
 3. c/user/<your system name>/AppData/Local/Android (keep hidden files on)

So AS will automatically download the required files

Answer 3

try to reinstall it and download(automatically downloaded) the required file after restart, but follow the steps

1 go to your main drive(consider 'c') then c/user//androidstudioproject and copy it to some other location(save your old projects to safe location)

2 uninstall android studio from control panel

3 delete following file

    a c/user/<your system name>/androidstudioproject

    b c/user/<your system name>/.android

  c 'c/user/<your system name>/AppData/Local/Android (keep hidden files on)'

4 now install your androidstudio from its setup

these will automatically download the required files after installation (always connect to internet while installing)

Answer 4

You can download sdk tools separately.

https://developer.android.com/studio/#downloads
Go to this link and download the sdk tools from under "Command line tools only".

after download, extract the zip file and move it to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

If not worked, change sdk location from android studio

Answer 5

Apparently, the problem was that Android Studio 3.0 had already been installed and uninstalled before this. The SDK got removed, but Android Studio's config didn't.

Removing the config from a previous install (C:\Users\<user>\.AndroidStudio3.0 folder) did the trick. When Android Studio started up, it opened a dialog about which parts of the SDK to download, and then proceeded as expected.

If you're on MacOS, the Android Studio installer puts the bundled SDK files into ~/Library/Android/sdk/
