I'm using Google's Android Studio 0.1 based on IntelliJ, and I cannot figure out how to add additional SDKs to my project.
I exported my existing project from Eclipse to a Gradle project, which I imported into Android Studio, as recommended by Google.
My project's SDK is Google APIs 2.3.3. However, I use a library called PullToRefresh which appears to need SDK 4.1, so I'm trying to add the SDK 16 to my project.
I've already made sure to download the SDK using the SDK manager. These SDKs are added to the Android Studio.app's sdk folder automatically.
I opened the Project Structure window, clicked "SDKs" under Platform Settings, and I currently see JDK 1.7 and Google APIs 2.3.3 shown. I click the + sign above that list to add a new SDK. I then navigate to the sdk directory that has android-16, as shown in the screenshot below. I am not quite sure what this wants me to add, but I've highlighted the android-16 folder (about the only thing I can select), and when I click "Choose," the window disappears, but no new SDK appears in the SDK list.
And here is a screenshot of my SDK Manager view, showing the installed SDKs:

The answer is
You can change from the "build.gradle" file the line:
compileSdkVersion 18
to the sdk that you want to be used.
I had to restart Android Studio for changing the sdk after installing a new one. Then Android Studio asked me for configuring my SDK and let me do it.

/usr/share/android-studio/data/sdk
You have to put your SDK's in a given directory or .app directory. You have to do it in finder while you are out of the application i'm assuming, but personally I'd use terminal in Mac instead of doing it in the App itself or finder. According to Google:
On Windows and Mac, the individual tools and other SDK packages are saved within the Android Studio application directory. To access the tools directly, use a terminal to navigate into the application and locate the sdk/ directory. For example:
Windows: \Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio\sdk\
Mac: /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/sdk/
For those starting with an existing IDEA installation (IDEA 15 in my case) to which they're adding the Android SDK (and not starting formally speaking with Android Studio), ...
Download (just) the SDK to your filesystem (somewhere convenient to you; it doesn't matter where).
When creating your first project and you get to the Project SDK: bit (or adding the Android SDK ahead of time as you wish), navigate (New) to the root of what you exploded into the filesystem as suggested by some of the other answers here.
At that point you'll get a tiny dialog to confirm with:
Java SDK: 1.7 (e.g.)
Build target: Android 6.0 (e.g.)
You can click OK whereupon you'll see what you did as an option in the Project SDK: drop-down, e.g.:
Android API 23 Platform (java version "1.7.0_67")
I followed almost the same instructions by @Mason G. Zhwiti , but had to instead navigate to this folder to find the SDK:
/Users/{my-username}/Library/Android/sdk
I'm using Android Studio v1.2.2 on Mac OS
Download your sdk file, go to Android studio: File->New->Import Module
