I am using Android Studio for a project on SVN (usually on Windows PCs).
Lately I want to run this on a Mac, it keep giving the below error:
Error:The SDK directory '/Users/AhmadMusa/Desktop/[PROJECT PATH]/D:\Android\sdk' does not exist.
Please fix the 'sdk.dir' property in the local.properties file.
I already put the SDK on local.properties file as:
sdk.dir=/Users/AhmadMusa/Library/Android/sdk
I don't know why it keep adding the (D:\Android\sdk) automatically, this is my Windows PC SDK directory, but why it is here now! nothing on code mention any D:\Android\sdk
.
This question is related to
android
android-studio
Right click your project and select 'Open Module Settings' under SDK Location put your location for your SDK.
paste in /Users/AhmadMusa/Library/Android/sdk
Clean and rebuild your project
Update
Try to delete your local.properties file and create a new one, but do not check it into version control.
Right click top level of project and Create new file 'local.properties'
then add: sdk.dir=/Users/AhmadMusa/Library/Android/sdk
Clean and build
I had the same problem. Just open the project main folder. and then close and reopen the project sub folder app.
Create or edit file local.properties under android directory
For window path should be like this
sdk.dir = C\:\\Users\\user name\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\sdk
For linux system path should be like this
sdk.dir = /home/user name/Android/Sdk/
I solved this issue in Windows using this format for the full path:
sdk.dir=C:/Users/xxxx/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk
If you have set the ANDROID_HOME variable, just remove or comment that line in local.properties file. It is the solution for me
From Android Studio 1.0.1
Go to
File -> project Structure into Project Structure Left -> SDK Location SDK location select Android SDK location (old version use Press +, add another sdk) Change the sdk path to /Users/AhmadMusa/Library/Android/sdk
I had a ;
in the environment variable name, put it out and it will works !
If your project is a subproject, the problem may lie on the parent local.properties file. I may suggest you to go up in the project hierarchy to the root file and execute the following command:
$ find . -type f -exec grep -l sdk.dir {} \;
That would work on OSX and Linux, if you are in Windows you may need to install Cygnus tools or something akin (I don't use Windows, so I cannot be more precise). If the path is wrongly set in some file, you'll find it with that command, then it is just a matter of opening the file with a text editor and replacing the wrong path with the right one.
File->Project Structure->SDK Location->
.gradle
and .idea
folders, local.properties
, all .iml
files in the project: <module_name>/<module_name>.iml
Open an existing Android Studio project
This way must to help.
After edit, resync again android studio.
I faced the same problem - it was solved by only the following step.
I deleted all created .idea
and .gradle
folders.
It is the path problem I faced while loading source in SDK, I think.
I think you should go to:
File ->Project Structure->SDK Location->
there select your sdk location.
This might due to merge conflict same as mine, try to change local.properties for me it was wrong location for android sdk as it was override from other machine ndk.dir=/Users/???/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle sdk.dir=/Users/???/Library/Android/sdk
then rebuild
This is a problem when you open the project incorrectly. open the project do not import the project
Checkout your SDK manager in Android studio, if you have partially installed sdk. Install SDK completely and try running your code.
I solve this problem, the reason is: You downloaded other's projects. His local.properties
file content is his SDK path. You must replace SDK path with your local SDK path, then rebuild the project.
In my case, my project is located inside another Android project.
Therefore, I opened the local.properties
of the parent project and fix the sdk.dir
's path there.
My scenario is I open the project, and the local.properies shows my sdk.dir. But it keeps telling me it need the sdk from the previous other user's dir.
So I close the project and re-import the project, and everything works fine.
My solution: open app on Android studio.
Check sdk
and clean App, after rebuild I had fixed this problem by following suggestions of Android Studio.
finally run app with react-native run-android/ios
Its worked for me. I think, it work's also in your PC.
in latest Android Sudio 3.2.1
1- you will see two files with the name 'local.properties'
2- one will be inside folder named 'app' ( app level folder ), Only if you have not yet been able to sync your project. if you cant see it in the folder strucrure in Android studio then physically find this folder in Finder . (right click and reveal in finder in case you use a MAC machine). Make changes here.
3- and other will be inside 'gradle script' make sure you have same path there . Also make changes here (if you can see this file)
Basically find this file at its physical location in the project folder (physical location ) and make changes
eg. : sdk.dir=/Users/Rakesh/Library/Android/sdk
in both the files .
Just close your project and re-open it again. Than SDK message appears click ok.
Choose one of the options- OPTION A
OPTION B
HAPPY CODING :)
sdk.dir didn't work for me because I had ANDROID_HOME environment variable with wrong path. So, solution is just to update ANDROID_HOME or remove it to use local.properties.
Android Studio restart is required after the change.
Today upgraded to Android 3.3, which broke everything for me.
This one was related to importing the project, not opening it.
Solution which worked for me, was to import the project. During the import it detects that the SDK directory is missing and proposes to open it from a location which actually exists. It worked in my case but your case might be different.
Many other changes still needed to be done to make old projects work. What a pain any update is. I wonder why don't they do a thorough QA first before releasing these updates. It has become an industry norm to release problem filled software, probably thinking that users will figure out solutions via Stackoverflow.
Just open your local.property file
if your project is used in mac before, so the sdk path will be something like sdk.dir=/Users/siddharthyadav/Library/Android/
Now if you are trying to use that in windows so just edit and put your sdk location: Example: sdk.dir=D:\software\android-sdk\android-sdk
Just clean and build. See it works!!!
