I already have Android SDK latest edition and Eclipse installed. But I want to try Android Studio as well.
I have seen this and this post, but those solutions change the instance of SDK Android Studio (once downloaded and installed) uses. What I want is not to download another SDK when I already have it installed on my machine.
The problem is that the download package given here includes SDK as well.
So can I download Android Studio IDE without the SDK, and then give the path to the SDK I already have during installation?

If you do not need Android Studio, you can download the basic Android command line tools below. You can use the included sdkmanager to download other SDK packages. These tools are included in Android Studio.
You will need to download the Android SDK without Android Studio bundled. Go to Android SDK and navigate to the SDK Tools Only section. Copy the URL for the download that's appropriate for your build machine OS. Unzip and place the contents within your home directory.
There's even an open Java Development Kit (JDK) included, so you no longer need to separately install the latest version separately. Installing Android Studio is just as simple and we have a guide to help you out here. Again, it is just a matter of downloading the installer and following the steps as prompted.
It is not possible to build an Android app without using SDK.
All the answers suggest to download it with an SDK and then delete it.
You can however download the AStudio w/o the SDK from Android Tools Project Site.
The latest build (2.0 Preview 4) can be downloaded here.
Note: The newest version also requires the SDK to be outside the application folder!
