While first installation There are two situations either you have pre-installed Android SDK if you had used it in past or you have nothing at all  At a time of installation Installer always ask user how you want to configure SDK with your studio   You can simply give a path here or browse folder where sdk is available in local system  If you already have SDK  Another option as shown in below picture at Left down corner there is a nice option for download SDK  by clicking it you can download SDK with latest release right from there You can also use third option see in right down corner setup Android SDK for me by clicking it you can step by step set your sdk     Although you can also set it up when Android shows you list of available projects  a starting prompt window shown below    That s pretty easy  and also sometime if you want to change your SDK you can always change it right in your Android Studio from   On windows system File --  Project Structure and then you will see SDK Location Option and from there you can set it up by providing a path or by browse it     Or if you are on MAC system then from Platform settings

I had the same problem  but with the sdk path pointing to a mounted drive  I found  that simply quit Android Studio  unmount the device and restart Android Studio made it ask for the sdk location  because it had none  Android Studio Beta 0 8 7     Therefore I guess if you just quit Android Studio  delete  android-studio sdk or move it somewhere else and start Android Studio again  it should ask for the sdk location aswell

I noticed that the latest version of Android Studio doesn t seem to have the option  SDKs  path that s mentioned in many of the answers  I m guessing that disappeared in one of the updates  somewhere down the line   The way i solved this issue  osx  was    Go to Project Settings  Cmd      In SDK Location make sure you re pointing to the correct SDK location  typically  Applications Android Studio app sdk  then hit Apply Most important step - hit  Sync Project with Gradle files    I wasn t doing Step 3 and that was throwing me off  After a sync all your source r belong to us

Changing the sdk location in Project Settings will solve the problem partially  When  Android Studio is used to download a new SDK  it will place the new SDK in the internal SDK folder  inside Android Studio    Existing android developers will already have a large sdks folder  hereinafter referred to as external SDK folder  containing all the SDKs downloaded before Android Studio came around   For Mac Linux users though there is a good way out  Soft links   Exit Android Studio and perform the following steps   cp -r  lt Android Studio gt  sdk   lt external SDK folder gt   cd  lt Android Studio gt   mv  lt Android Studio gt  sdk  mv  lt Android Studio gt  sdk orig ln -s  lt external SDK folder gt   sdk   And we re good to go  Launch SDK Manager after starting Android Studio  watch as it discovers all your existing SDKs like a charm
