Can Eclipse use the same sdk that Android Studio (intelliJ)?

Question

I'm using Android Studio, but I need Eclipse at the moment. So, in Window > Preferences > Android, in SDK Location, I choose the sdk location inside my Android Studio folder, that is .../android-studio/sdk, but it can't find the sdk APIs I've installed.

And when I try to enter this configuration, it shows:

The currently displayed page contains invalid values

Any help?

Thank you!

I know it is late for the answer but if anyone search for this..

First you have to set up a common SDK, for example put your SDK folder at the following location C:\Android\sdk

Link SDK in your Android Studio, go to File->Project Structure->Android SDK and point the C:\Android\sdk in Android SDK location.

Link SDK in your Eclipse ADT, go to Eclipse->Preferences->Android and change the SDK Location to C:\Android\sdk

*Restart both Eclipse and Android Studio

Yes, first install the Android studio. It will instal the SDK in an Android folder under user/AppData/Local/Android/sdk then install Eclipse (unzip). Add the ADT (Android Dev Tools) to Eclipse see : http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html

Then, once you restart eclipse it will ask you to provide the folder for the SDK, provide the folder where Studio installed it.

There, both are working with same SDK.

This will save you space on the drive and not have to download and install the SDK twice.

Enjoy.
