How do you add an SDK to Android Studio

Question

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

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

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  lt user gt  AppData Local Android android-studio sdk   Mac   Applications Android  Studio app sdk
