Android Studio Project SDK Path Mac VS Windows

I use 2 machines for development, Windows 8 desktop and a Macbook for when I'm away from my desk. I use dropbox to sync my development files between 2 machines. This works pretty well, except for one thing: the SDK path must be updated every time (http://screencast.com/t/XKnqUjiBn)

Is there a work around of some sort for this?

I suggest that you take a look at a GIT source control (if you haven't done that previously). It is the way better way to manage projects than dropbox sync.

There are 2 very good options for you:

  • GitHub - free for open source projects, paid for private repositories (paid per repository)
  • BitBucket - free for private repos too (paid per user)

AndroidStudio (which I suggest for Android projects unless you are working with NDK) has a really good support for importing projects to GIT via GUI. So it helps you a bit if you are not familiar with console stuff. But it is easy with console too. Check out this github tutorial for beginners https://try.github.io/levels/1/challenges/1

With GIT the problem that you are trying to solve is simple just put a file name that you dont want to share into you gitignore file. You can find android preset gitignore files online on sites like gitignore.io.

Good luck.

Don't share the local.properties file between machines; that's the file that contains the SDK path, and as its filename indicates, it's supposed to be local to an individual machine.
