I installed the Android SDK on my computer a few months ago and now I've finally motivated myself to begin developing.
At the moment, I'm trying to install the plugin for Eclipse, and I need to set the location of the SDK on my computer but... I can't find it.
I know it's installed, since the SDK Manager says it is, but I don't know where!
There's no Android folder in Program Files or in C:\
Searching for Android in explorer didn't yield anything relevant.
So.. Does anybody know where I can find the SDK?
It doesn't seem to be in the default location.
Thanks
If what you say about the SDK Manager in the OP is correct, and if you have access to the SDK Manager, then it shows where the SDK is currently located.
Right below the Package and Tools menu, it shows the SDK path.
However, if you cannot access the SDK Manager, then odds are you downloaded either the ADT Bundle or the SDK Installer.
If it is the earlier, then the file that you downloaded is named: adt-bundle-windows-x86.zip. If it is the later, and if you remember installing it, then the default path for the installation is in your Program Files\Android..... The installer is named something like this: installer_r21.1-windows.exe (this is the current available version)
If none of the suggestions on this page, helps, then the last resort is to download the SDK all over again. On a good connection, you should be done in about 15 odd minutes.

Good luck with coding. ;-)

Yes, this question has been asked before. But the solutions on the internet are not working so that's why I am asking it here. I'm guessing the solutions aren't working because I am using newer versions but I'm not sure.
Bit of Background: So I am making a small game in Unity. I have to test it on Android so I can check if there are any problems or not. So I check around the internet on how I may be able to do that. Turns out, I need to change the build settings to android and I also need JDK installed on my computer along with Android SDK Manager so I download them both. I did not install the Android Studio but just the Command Line Tools because many tutorials say that I do not actually need the whole Android Studio because I'm gonna be making the app in Unity not in Android Studio. So I do that. I install JDK and Extract the command line tools.
I think the JDK installed fine because after installing JDK, I opened Internet Explorer (No, I don't use IE, I use Chrome but I opened it just for fun). And a little notification showed up at the bottom which basically said that I could now run Java on the browser so that's why I don't think there are any problems with the JDK installation.
Problem: I extracted Command Line tools of Android Studio and found that there was only a tools/ folder in it. I opened it and clicked on android.bat but the Android SDK manager doesn't work. A CMD screen just flashes for a moment but then nothing happens.
Solution I have Tried:
Change set java_exe to:
set java_exe="C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe"
and delete the line:
call libjava_find.bat
But I can't find set java_exe code anywhere in the file. The file doesn't have it. How am I supposed to change it?
Alright, so I figured it out but I was still unable to pinpoint the problem. Here is what I did:
Installed a fresh copy of Windows 10. Note: It is highly unlikely that this will solve the problem. But where I live, it is very common to just install a fresh copy of windows whenever you get a problem. I really don't think you need to do this.
Follow all the instructions from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLFBu-VlBIw
If you get the following error:
Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to list target platforms. Then use this fix: not finding android sdk (Unity)
These steps solved the problem for me and I was able to run it properly.
I already had Eclipse (kepler) installed to create java programs.
Now I wanted to develop android apps, so I wanted to install the ADT plugin for Eclipse.
I read the following:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html#Download
I did those steps exactly.
Then, on that same page, I read this paragraph:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html#Configure
But I don't understand what I have to do.
When Eclipse restarts, I get a popup diolog which asks me to choose a path which has to lead to a folder. I can't find any folder. I don't see anything changed in my file system.
I don't see any folder which looks like Android SDK. I think I am missing something.
You need the SDK as well. You can find it here:
https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools
When you install it you have to insert the path of your SDK in the Eclipse popup dialog
I encourage you to update the SDK on your first launch through SDK manager
I have just updated my eclipse through Android SDK Manager, my eclipse pop out and error about the Android SDK.
This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 23.0.0 or above.
Current version is 22.6.2.v201403212031-1085508
When I pressed the button "Check for Updates", the result from eclipse is "No Updates were found."
I am sure that my Android SDK should be 23.0.0 above.
All my project listed in the left corner of above picture contains errors.
I have studied this thread and I found that the "Java build path" was "Unable to get system liberary for the project"
The project was not built since its build path is incomplete
Whenever I tried to add the JRE System Library, it failed beacause of "Could not write file: C:\Users\Admin\workspace\ICEAPP(20140819_uc).classpath."
Can anyone give me so help?
Update the ADT-Plugin in eclipse (Help > Check for updates)
You have to remove the whole installation and reinstall everything again. This update seems to fail always. But reinstall works for all of this issues. With the new version 23. It seems there is a big compatibillity problem unsolved yet.
Check for updated fails but eclipse say it need one update. Also SDK Manager seems to be up to date.
Anyway, even if you get ot working, there still are problems for example with implementation of google play service.
Had a lot of issues by myself and others to, but reinstall solved it
I have eclipse and the ADT bundle correctly installed on my home PC, and tried to install it on my laptop so I can work on my projects on the go. However, I either didn't set the java paths correctly, or installed them in the wrong place, because I can't get a default project to load without errors.
I have correctly:
-Installed the ADT bundle and launched eclipse without errors
-Created a workspace
-Correctly Installed both the jre8 and jdk1.8.0_05 in the location C:\Program Files\Java
I am very new to Android development, and I feel like I was lucky to set up the Java dependencies correctly on my home PC, no such luck this time from what the error look like...
However, when I try to make a basic "Hello world" project, I immediately get the following error:
The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library 'C:\Users\userName\workspace\appcompat_v7_3\bin\appcompat_v7_3.jar'
I have tried adding the library, by checking build configurations, but I don't understand fully whats going on to correctly solve the problem. Here is my workspace:
And lastly, I tried checking the build configurations to see that the libraries are, in fact, missing. Or something like that. I am not sure if I should just try to reinstall java and the jdk.
Build configuration:
Anyway, I'm not sure what I deleted, misplaced, uninstalled, or didn't install, but if anyone could point me to a solution I would be very grateful. If anyone has any other questions on my setup I will try and be as thorough as possible. Thank you!
In my experience I have had issues like this if not running eclipse as Administrator. Make sure that you aren't being blocked here.
EDIT: Please note Chris Stratton's concers regarding running an IDE as Administrator, as seen in the comments below.
EDIT 2: In my more recent experience, I have noticed that if I installed the SDK by copying and pasting the contents of the downloaded, compressed, folder to a destination rather than extracting it first, I would be required to run as Administrator. If this is the case, delete the SDK that you copied out of the compressed folder and simply extract the contents of the downloaded compressed folder. I am running Windows 7 so it is likely that this applies to all Windows 7 and 8 OS's.
In another case, I have also seen issues like this if the JRE is installed second rather than first. In this case, a reinstall of the SDK is probably all that is required.
Just to preface this I have searched high and low on the internet trying to find an answer to this problem and have yet to find one, there have been people with similar problems as me but not quite the same.
I have been trying to set up Eclipse with the Android SDK. I installed Eclipse (Classic) first and edited the .ini file to find the correct javaw.exe file. I tested eclipse and it was working fine. Then I downloaded the android sdk bundle extracted it and used the SDK manager to download the necessary SDK tools (Rev. 21) and the Android 2.33 API. After finishing that, I went back into Eclipse, clicked "Install New Software" and in the "Work With" field typed
"https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/". From there I installed the Developer Tools and NDK plugins and then when finished restarted Eclipse.
Now when I start Eclipse I get the following error
"This version of ADT requires Android SDK Tools revision 21.0.0 rc9 or above.
Current version is 11.0.0
Please update your SDK Tools to latest version"
I know for a fact I have rev 21, it said it when I downloaded it and when I try to go in and update anything whether it be through Eclipse or through the manager it says there are no updates available. I know I have the latest of both the SDK and ADT and I have also tried using the version of eclipse that came with the sdk but that gives me the same issue.
The only other things which seem to set off red flags to me are
1. When the program loads it shows the following message in the console
"[2012-12-01 18:31:48 - Dex Loader] SecurityException: Unable to find field for dex.jar"
2. When I try and open the SDK manager through eclipse it never opens and the console displays the following message
"[2012-12-01 18:37:07 - SDK Manager] [SDK Manager] Error: Expected verb after global parameters but found 'sdk' instead."
I don't know if either of those two have anything to do with what is causing this issue but I hope someone knows what is going on. If someone could help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it, thank you in advance.
(For reference sake, I have been following the instalation instructions in this tutorial
http://youtu.be/31cxmLN09ss)
When in the SDK Package Manager, try choosing Packages menu -> Reload. Then you should see Android SDK Tools rev21 available and ready to be updated.
i had the same problem. it occurred because once when I was trying to install the adt plugin few months earlier, the location had been saved. I oversaw the old folder location, mistook it for the current updated one and bam! that was all the reason. try to check back the location for tools folder specified.
As follow up to my previous suggestion, better solution is to modify your sdk location in Windows->Preferences->Android to where you install your ADT bundle. For example, if you install your ADT Bundle under C:\Tools\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219, enter C:\Tools\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219\sdk.
Doing this also fixes other issue with "Android SDK Manager" not launching from within Eclipse discussed on another thread.
I resolved the issue with Eclipse reporting that I have an older sdk even though I have the latest installed by copying the correct sdk version under "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk". First save existing "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\sdk" to say "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\sdk_old", in case you need to revert.
This (above) is sound advice: however I went in eclipse and redefined the android sdk location which apparently was on a different android folder for whatever reason which had outdated files in it and I believe now the situation is fixed I tried it and it worked for me too. Thanks.
