Problems locating Android SDK

[matthias_livecode_150811 at m-r-d.de]

Hi Skip,

the problem is that Android Studio 3.6.x does not install Android command line tools by default.

this is an excerpt of the update LC lesson http://lessons.livecode.com/m/2571/l/625198-livecode-and-android-studio



Update: Android Studio 3.6 has stopped to install the android command line tools by default. These tools were stored in the /Users/youruser/Library/Android/sdk/tools folder, and contained some necessary jar files that are needed to build for Android.

You can still force Android Studio 3.6 to download these tools:

- Launch Android Studio and go to Configure -> "SDK Manager"

- In the new window open "System Settings -> Android SDK". 

- From there pick the tab "SDK Tools". 

- Uncheck the "Hide Obsolete Packages" option in the bottom of the window. 

- Now there should appear a new option: "Android SDK Tools (Obsolete)" - check that, hit "Apply" - it will download the files and "Tools" folder will appear in the /Users/youruser/Library/Android/sdk/ folder:





HTH,
