Android SDK location

Question

I have Xamarin Studio  and I need to specify the Android SDK Location  I have previously had Xamarin Studio working on my pc  and for some reason  I need to enter this again   I have entered the following location   C  Users   username   AppData Local Android android-sdk  Xamarin Studio does not accept this location and displays the following message   No SDK found at the specified location   This location has platform-tools and other SDK folders   Why is this not working  and what should I do

Have you tried to find this folder via the Windows explorer? Can it been seen? Maybe the folder is hidden (by default install - it is hidden by the Windows operating system in the users folder). Just check that you can view hidden folders in Windows explorer (by the settings in the windows control panel > appearance and personalization > folder options > show hidden files and folders.

This happened to me as the Windows OS could not find the SDK folder which was required for the Android Studio SDK path, and was resolved by showing hidden files and folders, which enabled me to complete the default SDK install path location.

The question doesn t seem to require a programmatic solution  but my Google search brought me here anyway  Here s my C  attempt at detecting where the SDK is installed  based on the most common installation paths   static string FindAndroidSDKPath         string uniqueFile   Path Combine  platform-tools    adb exe       look for adb in Android folders     string   searchDirs                    User AppData Local         Environment GetFolderPath Environment SpecialFolder LocalApplicationData              Program Files         Environment GetFolderPath Environment SpecialFolder ProgramFiles              Program Files  x86   it s okay if we re on 32-bit  we check if this folder exists first          Environment GetFolderPath Environment SpecialFolder ProgramFiles       x86               User AppData Roaming         Environment GetFolderPath Environment SpecialFolder ApplicationData             foreach  string searchDir in searchDirs                string androidDir   Path Combine searchDir   Android            if  Directory Exists androidDir                         string   subDirs   Directory GetDirectories androidDir    sdk    SearchOption TopDirectoryOnly               foreach  string subDir in subDirs                                string path   Path Combine subDir  uniqueFile                   if  File Exists path                                            found unique file at DIR Android                     return subDir                                                         no luck finding SDK         return null      I need this because I m writing an extension to a C  program to work with Android Studio Gradle  Hopefully someone else will find this approach useful
