Android SDK not being installed on Android Studio

Question

Based on my last question - I downloaded Android Studio (without the SDK) 2.2.3.0 from this link (https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/install/2.2.3.0/android-studio-ide-145.3537739-windows.exe).

Then I downloaded the Android SDK from this link (https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip).

I extracted the Android SDK to "C:\androidsdk" , and now the "androidsdk" folder contains a folder called "tools". and inside this "tools" there's a lot of files.

When I open Android Studio, it already download the SDK. So I disconnect the internet and open Android Studio again. Now I choose the SDK path manually, which is "C:\androidsdk" .. here is the problem, I get:

Target folder is neither empty nor does it point to an existing SDK installation.

So, I selected the path as "C:\androidsdk\tools" instead of that and I get the same problem.

Answer 1

I have found a solution which involve changing the default of android studio. Create an empty folder namely 'platforms' in your downloaded SDK Go to Configure->project setting ->Specify path to your SDK. Link is: https://askubuntu.com/questions/989007/sdk-is-missing-error-android-studio

This has worked for me using latest downloaded SDK.
