This was an issue for me because I already had the SDK installed under a different directory  In order to tell Android Studio to where the SDK is you need to get to the settings  but the  SDK tools directory is missing  dialog always exits the whole program when you click  Finish   Here s how I  solved  it    Delete your    Android  folders  losing all of your settings      Run Android Studio  It will show you a welcome wizard where it tries to download the SDK again  and fails due to my rubbish internet   Click the X on the wizard window  That will enable you to get to the normal welcome dialog  Go to Settings- Project Defaults- Project Structure and change the Android SDK location to the correct one    Deleting the  Android Studio folders may be unnecessary - I never tried pressing the X on the original error dialog - I only tried  Finish  which exits Android Studio  It is possible if you click the X you can get to settings but unfortunately I can t go back and check now

when first installing android studio and everything  install sdk to a new file like C  Android sdk and make sure all  the next setup sdk items point to the folder you installed sdk to   It will work fine now     it must have something to do with permissions in the appdata folder is what my guess is

I had this problem on a Mac due to a corporate proxy blocking the installer s call to the internet  The phase in which the Android Studio installer is supposed to install the SDK did not happen and the install process just went straight to the  SDK tools directory is missing  message  Sadly  there was no message stating that a connection could not be made   To fix the problem  it was required that I list the path to my corporate PAC file by using Configure -   Appearance and Behavior  -  System Settings -  HTTP Proxy  I selected  Automatic proxy configuration url   and entered the correct URL for the PAC file

Android SDK was installed to  C    Users   user   AppData   Local   android   SDK2   SDK tools directory is missing   It means the Android SDK requires a folder  tools   where this SDK was installed  But that  Tools  folder did not get installed  Probably due to low storage    SOLUTION    Uninstall the Android SDK and install it again  This time just make sure that you have ATLEAST 5GB  though 3 2gb would be enough  free space where ever you are going to install this SDK   Once the installation is complete  just check whether  tools  folder is there or not  At the location where you are installing the SDK

I googled this error and tried all suggestions but nothing to work  My problem is a little bit different  I m using Ubuntu 16 04 64bit  I was set mount  tmp folder as tmpfs for increasing the performance of applications  My fstab entry was    tmpfs  tmp tmpfs defaults noatime nosuid nodev exec mode 1777 size 1024M 0 0   This is setting  tmp file space to 1G and this is bottleneck for android studio becouse it needs more space in  tmp folder for download SDK files  Now I removed this line and rebooted my computer and everything is working now   I spend 3 hours for this  I hope help to others

for me  i did this and it worked  just go to C  Users  your username  AppData which is hidden most likely  Local  then at this location try to find this Folder    Android  if you don t have it already make one with the exact name and try to open the android studio again

If your SDK tools directory is missing  maybe you deleted it by accident and there is a easy way to download it and guide android studio to it   First go to android developer site  https   developer android com studio index html   scroll to the bottom of the page and chose your download according to system you have but don t download installer version for windows  you need a zip file which contains SDK    After you download just put it in my documents  MAC or WINDOWS  and then when you open android studio screen will popup for installing SDK  like the time that you got error   don t click next  go to browse  find that file and press ok  After that go next and it will work like a charm   That s it

I faced with the same error   The solution   Change your proxy settings  For me I tried all the things like uninstall and system config but it did not work  When I changed the proxy settings  the list appeared in System Settings- Android SDK- SDK Platforms tab  Still you cannot select the platforms as it is not yet downloaded automatically during installation because of proxy  So just select next and it will download SDK Platforms   Once this is done  then you can select your platforms and again say ok to download files for that platform   Now  the last part  once the platform is downloaded successfully then in my case I also had to download NDK   With the above steps I could successfully create an app  Happy coding

It was mentioned before but to be clear  It probably is due to your internet connection    In my case it was that in my job I am behind a proxy  that means I should set a proxy in android studio for it to be able to download all SDK files   You can set a proxy in the Android Studio Settings under Appearance  amp  Behavior   System Settings   HTTP Proxy as stated here  https   developer android com studio intro studio-config proxy  Test de proxy  there s a button for that   Close Android Studio  Reopen Android Studio  and it should be able to download all SDK files
