If you have cloned a project from GitHub for example  and you ve tried the methods mentioned here without success including    Editing sdk dir in the local properties Trying to set ANDROID HOME environment variable Or adding an alias as kasiara mentioned   You should try to see if you are trying to build a directory project that is a part within a bigger project  and so it may cause problems  So load the entire project  and then run the project directory you d like

In my specific case I tried to create a React Native app using the react-native init installation process  when I encountered the discussed problem   FAILURE  Build failed with an exception     What went wrong   A problem occurred configuring project   app    gt  SDK location not found  Define location with an ANDROID SDK ROOT environment variable or by setting the sdk dir path in your project s local properties file at  C  Users     android local properties     I add this  because when developing an android app using react native  the  root directory  to which so many answers refer  is actually the root of the android folder  and not the project s root folder  where App js resides   This is also made clear by the directory marked in the error message   To solve it  just add a local properties file to the android folder  and type   sdk dir C  Users  user name  AppData Local Android Sdk   Be sure to add the local disk s reference   C      because it did not work otherwise in my case

To fix this problem  I had to define the ANDROID HOME environment variable in the Windows OS     To do this  I went to the System control panel  I selected  Advanced system settings  in the left column  On the  Advanced  tab  I selected  Environment Variables  at the bottom     Here  I did not have an ANDROID HOME variable defined   For this case  I selected  New     and  1  for  Variable name  I typed ANDROID HOME  2  for  Variable value   I typed the path to my SDK folder  e g   C      AppData Local Android sdk      I then closed Android Studio and reopened  and everything worked     Thanks to Dibish  https   stackoverflow com users 2244411 dibish  for one of his posts that gave me this idea

creating local properties file in the root directory solved my issue  I somehow lost this file after pulling from GitHub   this is how my local properties file looks like now       This file is automatically generated by Android Studio    Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED      This file must  NOT  be checked into Version Control Systems    as it contains information specific to your local configuration      Location of the SDK  This is only used by Gradle    For customization when using a Version Control System  please read the   header note   Sat Feb 06 11 53 03 EST 2016  sdk dir  Users      Library Android sdk

I had very similar situation  had a project on another machine and cloned it to my laptop and saw the same issue  and I looked in it   Error message was coming from Sdk groovy of Android gradle plugin  https   android googlesource com platform tools build   master gradle src main groovy com android build gradle internal Sdk groovy  By looking at code  its findLocation needs to set androidSdkDir variable and there are only three ways to do it    create local properties file and have either sdk dir or android dir line  have ANDROID HOME environment variable defined  System getProperty  android home   - I m not sure how it works  but it seems like a Java thing    While your Android Studio knows that the SDK is at that place  I doubt that Android Studio is passing that information to gradle and thus we re seeing that error   I created local properties file at the project root and put the following line and it compiled the code successfully    sdk dir    Applications Android Studio app sdk
