Error:Android Pre Dex: Android SDK is not specified

Question

I have downloaded gdx-setup.jar from website and I run it as:

java -jar gdx-setup.jar

I select the options that I want and generate project for idea (libgdx 1.6.2). When I click in generate button, the tool doesn't throw me any error.

When I run idea 14.1.3 I go to File > Open... and select the ipr file generated.

When I try to run desktop launcher, idea throw me the next error:

Error:Android Pre Dex: [android] Android SDK is not specified

I have tried with different build tools and API of android (most of them throw me warnings when I pressed generate button from gdx-setup.jar). I am using Build tools 20.0.0 and API 20 and with this configuration gdx-setup.jar doesn't throw me warnings.

I check local.properties of general project: sdk.dir=/home/XXXX/Escritorio/android-sdk-linux-libgdx/ it is right I check File > project structure... > SDK's > Android SDK and it is also right: /home/XXXX/Escritorio/android-sdk-linux-libgdx

Any advice?

Thanks.

Go in Project Structure, select Platform Settings -> SDKs (left panel) then add your Android SDK by selecting the +. Then in Project Settings -> Module , choose the android module, and choose the android SDK that you just added.
