Gradle cannot find the AndroidSDK path on Windows

I am just setting up a gradle build for a android project on a windows machine, after it has worked well on a mac. I have defined a local.properties file like so:

sdk.dir="C:\Program Files\android\sdk"

When attempting to use gradlew.bat I see the following:

C:\Users\PeterNied>gradlew

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file 'C:\Users\PeterNied\build.gradle' line: 9

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':MyProject'.
> The SDK directory 'C:\Users\PeterNied\"C:Program Filesandroidsdk"' does         not exist.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 3.224 secs

Clearly the computation of the android sdk directory is just combining the local directory and the destination that I specified C:\Users\PeterNied\"C:Program Filesandroidsdk". How do I point gradle to the right place?

Just using

sdk.dir=C:/Program Files/android/sdk

should work (in general, replacing backslashes by forward slashes).

The path separator and path concatenation are just the same issue.

There are two aspects of this problem, the path seperator, and dealting with the gradle local.dir + sdk.dir concatination:

  1. You can swap the '\' -> '/' in order to prevent the the path seperators from getting lost

  2. I've been unable to 'define' a root path for gradle to use instead, so I'm going to work around this problem by creating a path that will resolve to the right location like the following:

    sdk.dir=../../Program Files/android/sdk

Its a little ugly, but it will get you building.
