Android studio - can't create a new project

Question

I installed Android Studio for the first time. When I try to create a new project from welcome screen, it does nothing. So I open Workspace and click on File -> New project, still nothing. I have latest Java version installed on my computer.

Here is the log file of Android Studio:

Can you post the end of Android Studio log file ? To do so, check the log file that you'll find into this folder : /.AndroidStudio/system/log/idea.log — dwursteisen, Feb 24 '15 at 13:59
try re-install Android studio and make sure to install it in a location without spaces in the path e.g. c:\android-studio then chk again — Muhammad Soliman, Feb 24 '15 at 14:00

I got the same issue running Android Studio on Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 as well as in a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.10 in a VM. I tried different versions of AS (1.51, 2.0). My SDK version is 24.4, that's at least what SDK manager says.

Whenever I try to set up a new project, AS freezes once I clicked the "next" button at the menu where you select the minimum api version.

Since this issue arises in completely independent environments it may be a configuration problem!?

Further more AS showed two issue warnings on first run of the configuration wizard:

"OpenJDK shows intermittent performance and UI issues. We recommend using the Oracle JRE/JDK"

"IBus prior to 1.5.11 may cause input problem. See IDEA-78860 for details."

If it's necessary I can also upload the thread bump files.

After installing android studio, it is necessary to set up the needed path variables.

So in your Path variable add an path to the android sdk, you can find your sdk-path by running android studio and selecting the SDK manager and up at the top there will be your path variable for the android sdk, copy that location and then add it to your path.

Now you probably have a java path set up, however you need to create a new system variable and name it JAVA_HOME and there you'll add the path to your jdk again.

After those two steps are done, you should be able to run android studio and start a new project.

first set JAVE_HOME variable. you can do like this.. Computer-> properties-> Advance System settings ->Environment variables ->new then in variable name write JAVA_HOME and in path field write your jdk's bin path

for more detail check this link Environment variables for java installation

after setting environment variable if there is still problem in creating project then inform us.

This happens when Android Studio does not know where the Android SDK is. Please do this:

check your android SDKs Path. move main window -> configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure. and "Android SDK location" set to your target location.

This happened to me today after updating to the latest version. After this update I started getting the idea.jar problem and clicking on anything failed and gave the idea.jar error.

Tried to rename idea.jar file thinking the it would be detected during execution and request an update but the program didn't even load and gave a loading error.

To solve this, I only downloaded the latest stable windows (my current platform) executable only file (about 277Mbytes as of 143 build, no SDK since I have all the SDK files installed already) from the official android studio download page. Download Android Studio link

Reinstalled android studio and everything is working as normal

I have solved this problem for my latest android studio

Method I ( Unhide the AppData ) :

Show your hidden files from view -> hidden items(check it) you will see hidden folders & files as light color.
Then go to C:\Users\john (instead of john, it should be your user name).
Right click on "AppData"
Just uncheck the Hidden box
Move "sdk" folder from C:\Users\john\AppData\Local\Android to C:\Users\varad\AppData
Open android studio, goto Configure-> Project defaults ->Project structure
update new path of SDK like C:\Users\john\AppData\sdk Restart Android Studio.

Method II ( Move your SDK to another location) :

Move "sdk" folder from C:\Users\john\AppData\Local\Android to any folder you want.
Then update the SDK path in Android Studio from goto Configure-> Project defaults ->Project structure
Restart Android Studio.
