Hi,
i wanted to build the Aircraft Propeller scene for Gear VR, but can’t find the android sdk its asking for during build process. I was offered Android Studio when checking for the Android SDK online, so i installed it, but seems there is no from Build requested Android SDK in its folders.

Question, what to do now ?

Regards,
Frank

Does this help? Step five tells you which menu to configure this in in Unity. From memory the first time was a pain, but once it’s set up it’s set up forever.

ok thanks, the list is what i need :slight_smile:
I thought i already have installed the Android Studio with SDK bundle,

question, how can i see if the SDK is installed already ?

Has it possibly not been the SDK bundle ? I have this :

By default it’s under C:\Users%Username%\AppData\Local\Android.

What’s the console giving for a detailed error message? Chances are you just need to alter the path a little.

this is the error message i get :

It didn’t ask for the android sdk path any more.
Not sure if i really have the sdk installed or if the existing sdk folders are just place holder or otherwise used.

still giving me error

i have installed Unity5.6 and Android Studio (with SDK) on a new Win10 install and receive the same error message when testing to build the standard scene with the racing car for Android :open_mouth:

What can go wrong so stabilely ?

That’s just the error message informing you of the problem. Like it mentions the actual details are in the console.

Okay. I finally managed to reproduce the problem you were having. It turns out the latest release of Android Studio comes with a newer SDK (specifically the tools folder of the SDK) than Unity is capable of recognizing. Solving it simply requires replacing the tools folder in the SDK with an older release. I recommend just renaming the old folder.

Thanks for posting that the SDK is under ~/AppData/Local. I installed Android Studio in its default location in C:\Program Files\Android, so I never in a million years would have thought the SDK was not somewhere under that hierarchy.

So do i need to delete the original tools folder?

I managed to make it work by

  1. installing Android Studio
  2. starting it
  3. installing the SDK to a path WITHOUT spaces. (i.e. something like C:\Android\SDK) - I guess some part of the SDK got issues with spaces
  4. setting the Android SDK to this path in unity preferences

Build process runs fine afterwards

You can rename it to another folder name. My personal practice is to rename it to format YYYYMMDD_OriginalName (20180131_tools). Please attached photo. Make sure also that you let the Unity3D point to the correct directories for the SDK and JDK. You can set these inside “EDIT>PREFERENCES>EXTERNAL TOOLS”.
