Upgrade IntelliJ to 10.5 and Android build fails Android SDK not specified

Question

I just recently updated my IntelliJ Idea installation on my Mac to 10.5. I had an Android project that I was working on in 10.0.3 and everything was working great. Now when I try to build the project I am getting an Error:

Information:Compilation completed with 1 error and 0 warnings Information:1 error Information:0 warnings Error:Android SDK is not specified for module Project_Android 

Answer 1

It sounds like IntelliJ doesn't know where the Android SDK is.

Here is a step by step:

1. From your existing project, go to 'File' -> 'Project Structure'
2. Click 'Modules' entry from the 'Project Settings' group (on the left side)
3. Click 'Android' module for your project
4. Click 'New' where it says 'Android Platform'
5. Point it to the Android SDK location that you have locally.
6. Select an API version.
7. Click 'Apply'

That should be it. Good luck!
