Android SDK not being installed on Android Studio

Question

Based on my last question - I downloaded Android Studio (without the SDK) 2.2.3.0 from this link (https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/install/2.2.3.0/android-studio-ide-

Answer 1

Have you tried to download the Android Studio version that already includes the SDK? I'm not sure, but I think you're downloading a file for developers that don't use Android Studio. You should download this file (android-studio-bundle-145.3537739-windows.exe) instead. ;w;

Answer 2

I have found a solution which involve changing the default of android studio. Create an empty folder namely 'platforms' in your downloaded SDK Go to Configure->project setting ->Specify path to your SDK. Link is: https://askubuntu.com/questions/989007/sdk-is-missing-error-android-studio

This has worked for me using latest downloaded SDK.

Answer 3

The link you quote is the link to SDK tools, not to the complete SDK. You need to put this tools folder into an existing SDK (given that the tools version supports the SDK version).

You need an SDK first (replace tools folder there or, much better, use SDK Manager.exe provided with the SDK, to update tools to the desired version).

AFAIK, for standalone SDK 25 there is not official standalone download link (for 24 there was). Install studio, use SDK manager from there (or run as exe in SDK installed with Studio), then go to SDK folder and grab the complete SDK after update if you need it separately for offline installation. You can replace tools directly in this folder or in copy, but better use the SDK manager.

Note there are various non-official sites for downloading offline SDK separately, you can easily google for them but it is the question of how much do you trust these sites to download executables. This is definitely a questionable path in an enterprise environment. I'm not sure why can't you just download the studio and install with SDK. If you need SDK later in other installations, install, configure and update, grab the SDK folder and uninstall.

Answer 4

The solution was discovered, however it's not a solution but you have to do it if you want to use Android Studio.

---

If you want a solution, then you have to use a bit older version of Android SDK which is 24.4.1, and it can be downloaded from some sites like Techspot and FileHippo, here or here.

It's available as .EXE file, just open the installer and continue with the installation then Android Studio should automatically detect it.

---

If you want the latest version of the Android SDK for Android Studio, then you must download the "Android Studio (including the Android SDK)" from https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html .

NOTICE: The last solution isn't a solution, but it's the Android Studio with the Android SDK. and both of them are in one 1 .EXE, you just have to open it and you're ready now.

Answer 5

Sadly, straight from google, which is where you will want to download if your company firewall blocks other sources, Release 1.6 r1 September 2009 is the latest SDK they have.

You can then go to Settings > System Settings > Android SDK

Give the required Android SDK Location.

Wait until the Next button is enabled.

Now you are ready to go.
