Recently I've started to get involved in Android developing, and I learned that Android Studio was available contrary to Eclipse. So I downloaded the new software by Google and started it up. It prompted me to install some SDK packages and I did all that it recommended me to do at

http://developer.android.com/tools/help/sdk-manager.html

Then I saw a link that said you can find out where your SDK path is by opening the SDK manager up top, as well as the answer described on this page

Android Studio - How to Change Android SDK Path

So I copied the path and tried to use the run command (I can't post images yet) The path is described as C:\Users\baruy\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

I get an error saying that it doesn't exist. I browse for the files by myself, to learn that there is no AppData folder under baruy

Windows 8 64-bit, home edition. Please help, thanks

  • So, let me see if i get this straight. You used the run command to run a folder path? –  Feb 14 '15 at 16:04

AppData is an hidden folder. Paste that path in the window manager path and you should get there. Alternatively use the console and type: 

cd AppData\Local\Android\sdk

AppData is a hidden folder on windows. In order to show hidden files and folders on windows 8, follow this guide on msdn.

In short, you should go to Control panel->Folder options->"View" tab and then check the "Show hidden files, folders and drives". If you don't find the android sdk after that than it is simply not there.

After upgrading to Android 3.0 this path error came up. The default Sdk path in mac is /Users/username/Library/Android/sdk, and as that was marked in the systems settings the studio just had to be restarted and it worked again.
