Android Studio doesn't accept Android SDK Location

Question

I've got a couple of years of Java experience but i'm new to Android Development. I installed Android Studio and on first launch it offers me to specify Android SDK Location in Settings/System Settings/Android SDK.

Android SDK is in C:\Program Files\AndroidSdk - so I:

• Click Edit
• Specify path C:\Program Files\AndroidSdk
• Click Next
• Then in Verify Setting menu button 'Next' is inactive so I click Finish
• I'm back in Setting with same red message "Specify Android SDK Location".

N.B. I specified ANDROID_HOME = C:\Program Files\AndroidSdk and added C:\Program Files\AndroidSdk\tools and C:\Program Files\AndroidSdk\tools\bin in PATH. Maybe you have any idea why it doesn't take my SDK Location?

Answer 1

I solved the problem! At first launch SDK Manager of Android Studio offers to install Android SDK on your PC, for this - specify EMPTY folder. I thought i had to give him the path to already existing SKD (non-empty folder) - that was the problem. After specifying empty folder, everything had been installed successfully and seems to work fine.

After you open Studio. Goto File->Project Structure

Then specify the correct SDK location.

You can verify in terminal or cmd whether the path you are providing there is actually reachable on your system. If not, it won't work.
