• Library only appears nether <username> when navigated to through terminal. Going to that same location using finder renders information technology invisible for some reason.

  Jul 8, 2016 at sixteen:30

• Finder hides the user home as standard. But can either utilize the menus, GO -> Home or simply use the shortcut Cmd+Shft+H. Once in Home yous will find Library and then Android.

  Jul 8, 2016 at 21:23

• If yous find this question and are trying to simply launch the SDK director (or AVD manager) without launching all of Android Studio yous tin can too launch a final prompt and type open up ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android

  Aug 15, 2016 at 17:30

• You tin can use CMD+SHIFT+. (period) for revealing hidden folders. I couldn't see Library either. That solved information technology for me.

  May 24, 2017 at 8:39

• correct click nether <username> there's an option to bear witness Library folder. This solved it for me

This is the sdk path Android Studio installed for me: "C:\Users\<username>\appdata\local\android\sdk"

I'one thousand running windows 8.1.

You can observe the path going into Android Studio -> Configure -> SDK Managing director -> On the top left it should say SDK Path.

I don't think it'southward necessary to install the sdk separately, as the default option for Android Studio is to install the latest sdk too.

• AppData folder is hidden by default then you need to make it visible first then you can access it.

• The path is exactly the same for my Visual Studio installation (on Windows 10) equally well which now supports cross platform apps using Xamarin.

I had forgot where the sdk location was installed to then what I did was open up Android Studio and selected Settings then used the following submenu

Current one/1/2017: Tools -> SDK Managing director

outdate: Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK

In that location the sdk location was listed as Android SDK Location

  Aug fourteen, 2017 at 11:16

• Now information technology's in Tools -> SDK Manager

  Jul 16, 2018 at eleven:23

• Note that the location in the settings tree isn't outdated, the Tools -> SDK Manager menu item in the master window is merely a shortcut to it. You tin can go to the settings location even from the small launcher window you get when no project is open by clicking on the Configuration push with the gear icon.

• The SDK download is on the page linked, scroll downward and its under command line tools only (merely not necessary because information technology comes with Android Studio).

macOS (Catalina or Mojave or Sierra):

After installing Android Studio (3.vi+ or ii.3.ten), by default

sdk path: "/Users/< username >/Library/Android/sdk"

Remember: may be Library folder is subconscious.
To brand information technology visible:- Hit Command+shift+. OR Open Terminal and type "chflags nohidden ~/Library/" then hit return.

Start Android Studio and select Configure --> SDK Manager

Then, check the path of Android SDK

If you can't detect the SDK location, you may want to download information technology. Just scroll down to well-nigh end of the download page and select the Android SDK with respect to your OS.

When i upgraded i just moved my SDK to my user folder C:\Users\Nick\Android-SDK and updated my path in Android Studio. Worked like a charm.

EDIT: (More item) - My SDK was originally inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk, I just Cut and Paste the entire \sdk folder into C:\Users\Nick\Android-SDK, then prepare it inside Android Studio to the new location.

• I am fairly new to programming and then excuse my somewhat one-half witlessness, but I do non take Android in my program files. I am unsure where my original SDK would/should be or if I need to download it separately from Android Studio.

  Nov 4, 2014 at 15:54

• No problem, and then you installed Android Studio. Did you endeavour going to "configure" from the principal menu, and openeing up the SDK Manager? Yous tin download SDK'southward from there. Effort that and see what happens.

  Nov 4, 2014 at xv:56

• I am currently in configure > project defaults > project structure. The left column but has SDK Location and my path for the location is bare. Even so, I don't encounter where I can download SDK's. EDIT: I backed up and I see SDK Managing director, however, it is grayed out.

  Nov 4, 2014 at 15:59

• Did you see in that list of items where you clicked "Project Defaults" at the top it has "SDK Manager"? Try going into there and downloading some of the latest API's. That should make y'all a folder which you lot tin and so point to.

  Nov 4, 2014 at 16:03

• Ahh ok. Yep y'all demand to download the SDK directly then, See Randoll Revers answer, just download the SDK manually and extract/relieve it to your user directory. Then you can go back into Projection Defaults like you did before and indicate information technology to the SDK directory. You lot should be adept to get then!

AS has the SDK directory name changed from .../sdk to .../Sdk

create a new folder in your android studio parent directory folder. Proper name it sdk or whatever you want. Select that folder from the drib downwards list when asked. Thats what solves it for me.

I tried the accepted solution just information technology didn't resolve the issue for me.

I had already installed Android Studio 2-3 years ago, just I uninstalled it at some betoken. Installing the latest version was giving me an error. I did multiple uninstalls/reinstallations, but the consequence persisted.

I found an SDK was available on my machine in %LocalAppData%. I opened the environment variable and deleted all the references of Android like Android Home /Path. I performed the uninstallation of Android Studio and then reinstalled.

This time it worked and installed properly; information technology is even downloading the other SDK-related files.

I found this a couple of minutes back.

What renders the location unuseful is the fact that it is neither empty nor has the sdk. 1 of the conditions needs to be met for the binder.

And so, try this:

1. On Windows, go to Control Panel and search for 'prove hidden folders and files'. You volition detect a "Folders" choice. On the submenu, you lot volition see "Show hidden files and folders". [The options look like this.][1]

2. Refer this epitome. [Click the option shown in the moving picture][2]

3. Click apply and ok.

4. Go to the location i.e. some location in appdata, or the location your android sdk was almost to be installed in. The location should be visible now. Become to information technology and delete everything within. (Don't delete the sdk folder, simply the contents inside it )

5. Go to android sdk managing director and select the aforementioned location again. The error should vanish. Happy installation!

In other words, this error simply pops up if you had a previous failed installation.

If you lot're unable to do it still, hit me up at twitter @Vishma Pratim Das and I will be happy to help y'all. Thanks. [ane]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/G6P8S.png [two]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PeRUZ.png

I just installed Android Studio and has the same problem.

Banged my head for a few hours and found the solution - it'south retarded.

So I installed Android Studio only when information technology asked me for the config folder, I provided the one from my IntelliJ. Well, turns out that stop the Android Studio setup and I had no SDK. Going to their site the SDK is nowhere to be found. Information technology'southward not on any of the links from the other answers either.

My solution was to use a different folder for Android Studio. That ran the setup wizard and downloaded the SDK.

Sharing what worked for me in hopes that it helps someone else.

My outcome was that my SDK was non installed together with the Android Studio IDE for some reason. How I managed to trigger the SDK installation was by going to File > Settings on Android Studio, so typing "sdk" in the searchbar. If your android sdk location is empty, click on "edit" right side by side to it and it should immediately prompt installation for your sdk.

Thanks!
