Where to locate an Android game SDK root folder?,Where should my Android game SDK root folder be located?

Questions & Answers

I am new to Unity and decided to try and build an android VR application as my first project!

After creating the scene, I tried to build using the “Android-Support-for-Editor-2017.3.1f1”. Once I selected “Build & Run”, I was prompted to select a folder to save the apk file in. After I selected the folder it saves, which is fine.

The problem occurred when it prompted me to select an Android SDK root folder. Once I selected a folder (any folder) it just prompted me to select a folder again as if I didn’t select a valid folder. The weird thing is that it didn’t even tell me what was wrong. No dialogue box or error message popped up. The “select an Android SDK root folder” box just kept reappearing.

I have a feeling I missed something very obvious or that I didn’t set-up a root folder somewhere I should have.

Any help would be hugely appreciated; this has stumped me.

Tom.

Look at Unity Preferences, in External Tools you have a button to download and to locate the parts you need to compile for Android. Download them and then choose where you store each one.
