I installed the Android SDK on my computer a few months ago and now I've finally motivated myself to begin developing.
At the moment, I'm trying to install the plugin for Eclipse, and I need to set the location of the SDK on my computer but... I can't find it.
I know it's installed, since the SDK Manager says it is, but I don't know where!
There's no Android folder in Program Files or in C:\ Searching for Android in explorer didn't yield anything relevant.
So.. Does anybody know where I can find the SDK?
It doesn't seem to be in the default location.
Thanks

by default, the "Android Studio IDE" will be installed in " C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio ", and the "Android SDK" in " c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk ".
If you have downloaded the AS + SDK bundle: Note #2: you will never find the SDK in the Android Studio directory unless you have explicitly put it in there. The reason is that those directories might be deleted after installing a newer version of Android Studio and you would have to re-install the SDK as well.
Quick fix: Go to the Tools –> SDK manager –> SDK tools. Deselect Hide obsolete packages option on the right bottom and further install Android SDK Tools(obsolete). A new folder named Tools is now generated in the SDK directory.
You can install and update each package using Android Studio's SDK Manager or the sdkmanager command line tool. All of the packages are downloaded into your Android SDK directory, which you can locate as follows: In Android Studio, click File > Project Structure. Select SDK Location in the left pane.
If what you say about the SDK Manager in the OP is correct, and if you have access to the SDK Manager, then it shows where the SDK is currently located.
Right below the Package and Tools menu, it shows the SDK path.
However, if you cannot access the SDK Manager, then odds are you downloaded either the ADT Bundle or the SDK Installer.
If it is the earlier, then the file that you downloaded is named: adt-bundle-windows-x86.zip. If it is the later, and if you remember installing it, then the default path for the installation is in your Program Files\Android..... The installer is named something like this: installer_r21.1-windows.exe (this is the current available version)
If none of the suggestions on this page, helps, then the last resort is to download the SDK all over again. On a good connection, you should be done in about 15 odd minutes. Download Source
Good luck with coding. ;-)
