Where is the Android SDK located ?

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
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.

 

k cool, the sdk is there. But now giving me a build failure : what to do here ?

 

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 :O

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.

 

ah ok thanks. Seems my path should be correct, JDK is also installed ... hmp what then can go wrong with it ?

 

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.

wow great now it works ! thank you

 

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.

 

Actually i have same problem
after downloading this ,what to do?

 

Like my post says you extract the files over the existing tools folder.

 

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

 

I got it working fine as well. Thank you so much for the steps bro!

 

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".

 

This helped me out big time! I went through a whole day of trying different things from downgrading JDKs & SDKs, uninstalling, reinstalling, to attempting to download SDK packages using sdkmanager (only to run into a slew of problems).

The only thing that worked for me was finally deciding to bite the bullet and download Android Studio. I didn't even end up having to replace the tools directory. I am using a slightly older JDK though (jdk1.8.0_161). Not sure if that has anything to do with it. One thing I noticed was that Android Studio takes a VERY long time to download & install everything. I would just let it run and go do something else.

 

Спасибо!! Это реально помогло.
Thank you!! It really helped.

 

I solved this by downgrading from the java 10 SDK to the Java 8 SDK. There's an issue-tracker item for this here as well:

https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...jdk-and-unable-to-list-target-platforms-error

 

Wish they would issue a better error message. A lot of people are stumbling over this problem.

By the way this isn't an actual problem with Unity. Android itself is the culprit here. It doesn't support newer than JDK 8.

Yeah, wasted a ton of time for me. A quick sanity check before attempting to build would be fantastic. Sadly enough, it's actually in the documentation, it's just google sends you to the second page when you search.

Download and install the Java Development Kit (JDK). Unity requires JDK 8 (1.8), 64-bit version.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-GettingStarted.html

 

I'm bumping an old thread but I'm trying to experiment with android and I've run into this stupid problem as well, one major problem for me, I downloaded Android Studio and there is no tools folder or any such thing in the local folder. Setting the folder to the standard installation path obviously does nothing either, would appreciate some help on this. I have no idea why they've done things this way and not provided proper instructions, it's very frustrating.

For the record I'm not doing JDK, but SDK, my only clue is the error messages. It's telling me

 

Just to make sure I'm not being daft, I installed the absolute latest version of Unity, same problem of the engine not detecting the Android Studio folder.

Edit: Now I feel dumb, two things I've discovered with their damn naming conventions, command line is the 'SDK' so that's the seperate file, then you need to run Android Studio in order to download the latest version of that SDK I think then things should work.

Oh and yes! IT DID WORK!

Okay just to clarify what I did.

1. Make sure your Unity version is the latest one.

2. Download and install then run Android Studio for the first time, you need to download the SDK within Android Studio in order to get the latest version, this will then make the folder in the Local folder that everybody above was talking about.

Note: The separate command line version they list on the website is out of date and won't work with Unity, maybe there's something you can tweak to make it work but I haven't found out how to mess with that and the other option is working fine for me.

To make this all work for me I set the build system to internal so I had a nice packed up .APK file that I could put into my android phone. Simply copy and paste that to your phone, use a file manager or something to open it on your phone and then that should install and you will be able to run the project.

Bloody hell that was a pain but I'm so glad I got that fixed.

 

I was asking for the same but got this one thread with solutions . Thanks a lot buddy.

If Unity prompts to update SDK when selecting a higher version that is not yet installed, and then gives "unable to install"
quit, and reopen Unity hub as administrator, and try building again with the preferred sdk set in settings. it worked for me
