Android SDK Folder Not Recognized?

Hi again,

I’m trying to build a quick scene for an android emulator. My problem is that when it asks me to select the root folder of the android SDK, it isn’t there. I’ve tried looking in /Library, and even ~/Library, but there’s no “android” folder at all. I have installed the kit, because I can open it and stuff. Haven’t created a project with it yet, but there shouldn’t be any need to for it to have an installation folder.

Halp? :hushed: [:P]

havnt done much with the emulators, but I assume it wants the android-sdk folder on your machine, not the device.

(hey again James :smiling_face:)

I’m not trying to get it installed on the emulator, that’s just for running the .app when it’s built.

Basically, I just need to know: where is the root SD folder? [:P]

Have you built for android before?

You need to make sure you have the Android sdk path in your system environment path variable

Yep, I built for Android once, on another comp, but then that comp packed in. I know I need to find the Android SDK path. Only thing is, I don’t know where it is, so, that’s the whole point of me asking really…

What u talking about, download the SDK from the official website, and do updates, place on your desktop and then in Unity settings select the folder on desktop

“download the SDK from the official website” Done.

“do updates” Obviously.

“place on your desktop and then in Unity settings select the folder on desktop” It doesn’t matter if it’s on the desktop or in applications: I tried choosing the .app, it closed the selection window and bought me back to the beginning (the Users folder)

… No one else?

C’mon, guys, this is a relatively simple question. Where on earth is the SDK root folder located? Can no one give me a file path, or even a filename?

Why are you choosing the app, u suppose choose the folder

What folder? The .dmg I downloaded only allowed me to drag the .app to the Applications folder.

mines installed to c:\android-sdk

I cant rememeber if I chose that path or it was automatic

I use a mac, though… In case it wasn’t obvious by the /Library, or ~/Library…

it wasn’t obvious… until you mentioned it, then it was blatantly obvious.

i dont know where the f*** anything is on a mac. I can never find stuff thats on a local drive.

Anyone here who can tell me the filepath of one single file?..

Test

To get started on Mac OSX:
Unpack the ZIP file you’ve downloaded. By default, it’s unpacked into a directory named android-sdk-mac_x86. Move it to an appropriate location on your machine, such as a “Development” directory in your home directory.
Make a note of the name and location of the SDK directory on your system—you will need to refer to the SDK directory later when using the SDK tools from the command line”
So the question only you can answer, is: Where did you move the unpacked files?

The file I downloaded was a .dmg, not a .zip. Inside the dmg was the Android Studio .app, which I dragged into the Applications folder as instructed.

Im having the same problem. I was able to gind it in downloads. What I can’t find is Google play library even I know its there.
