[android] setup android on eclipse but don't know SDK directory

According to the beginner guide, to setup the ADT Plugin, one of the procedures is

http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing

For the SDK Location in the main panel, click Browse... and locate your downloaded SDK directory.

I went to Program Files, found Android directory, but none of those works. Upon research, I found out that Android developers have warned me to take note of the SDK directory, which I didn't.

Now my question is, how do I get that directory path? I don't want to reinstall the SDK, and then install the updates (lots of mess...)

Thanks for the help!


Edited

That exe that you guys wanted me to look for is indeed inside platform-tools.

I installed Android SDK, and it gives me Android SDK Manager. So I am guessing I had the right thing installed on my PC.

This question is related to android eclipse

The answer is


ADT Plugin (UNSUPPORTED)

The Eclipse ADT plugin is no longer supported, as per this announcement in June 2015.

The Eclipse ADT plugin has many known bugs and potential security bugs that will not be fixed.

You should immediately switch to use Android Studio, the official IDE for Android.

For help transitioning your projects, read Migrate to Android Studio.


Search (Ctrl+F) your harddrive(s) for: SDK Manager.exe or adb.exe


The Android SDK directory is just the folder you get after uncompressing one of these files:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

There's no such "SDK installation"... may be, what you installed was the ADT plugin (which does not include the SDK). You have to download one of the ZIP files you find in the link above, uncompress it and boila! you have the SDK Folder.


The path to the SDK is:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

This can be used in Eclipse after you replace USERNAME with your Windows user name.


May be i am too much late here and question is already answered, but this may help those who still cannot find sdk location. Open eclipse, click window tab it will show a drop down menu, click preferences, in preferences window click Android, here u go Sdk location is right in front of u copy the address :)


I found it in this location:

C:\Users\amitsinha02\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools


a simple windows search for android-sdk should help you find it, assuming you named it that. You also might just wanna try sdk


Late to the conversion...

For me, I found this at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk

This is the default location for Windows 64-bit.

Also, try to recall some of your default locations when not presented with some suggestions.
