[android] Android Studio: Default project directory

Whenever I create a new project in Android Studio it wants to put it in a generic default folder at a location something similar to (dependent on OS - Ubuntu here):

/home/USER/AndroidStudioProjects/

I want to change this directory to another location. Besides selecting this new location on the creation of every project, is there a setting (couldn't find) or path variable (couldn't find any documentation) that can set this directory (say /home/USER/Projects/AndroidStudio/) as the default?

Something similar to changing the workspace in Eclipse is what I am looking for.

This may be what you want. Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings > Project Opening > Default Directory

1. Open 'Preferences'
2. Select System Settings -> Project Opening
3. Set 'Default Directory' where you want.

It worked for me. I tried Android Studio 3.5.

This worked for me Android Studio 4.0.1:

1. Close Android Studio.

2. Navigate to C:\Users[Username].AndroidStudio4.0\config\options

3. Locate recentProjects.xml and open it.

4. Scroll down the page you will notice: <option name="lastProjectLocation" value="$USER_HOME$/AndroidStudioProjects" />

5. Change $USER_HOME$/AndroidStudioProjects to your desired location: /home/USER/AndroidStudioProjects/

6. Reopen Android studio.

I have Android Studio version 3.1.2, it shows project full path when you click Build tab in bottom-left location of the studio.

• This worked for me :- -> Go to settings -> Type system setting in search bar -> Select your location -> Press Apply

File -> Other Settings -> Default settings... -> Terminal --> Project setting --> Start Directory --> ("Browse or Set Your Project Directory Path")

Now Close current Project and Start New Project Then Let Your eyes see Project Location

I found an easy way:

1. Open a new project;
2. Change the project location name by typing and not the Browse... button;
3. The Next button will appear now.

In android studio 2.3.3 (windows) you must go to C:\User\ (Name)\ .AndroidStudio2.3\config\option open recentProjects.xml And change your directory

<option name="lastProjectLocation" value="YOUR DIRECTORY" />

Try this:

File\Other Settings\Preferences for New Projects\Teminal\Start Directory

Top of The Android Studio Title bar its shows the complete file path or LocationLook this image
