So far, I've run into a brick wall when trying to open Android Studio. Installation seems to run fine, but when I open the program for the first time, I am greeted with the setup wizard which informs me that it will be downloading components.

The first line in the dialog box tells me that the sdk has been installed in a specific location, which it then lists.

At the bottom, there are greyed-out navigation buttons for 'Back' 'Next' and 'Finish'. The 'Cancel' button is active, but when I click it, nothing happens.

There is no button for 'Show Details' to reveal what is going on behind the scenes.

Basically, this screen does not advance. I have tried on multiple different internet connections. I am not using a proxy.

When I hit cancel, the button becomes greyed-out, and nothing happens. The only way to exit the screen is to force close it in Task Manager.

I have tried running as an administrator.

I am currently running Windows 8.1.

Any ideas what is wrong?

  • Please checkout what's in the `C:\Users\username\.AndroidStudio\system\log` I've seen this issue before and there were exceptions in that file because of network proxy issues or some other issues with downloading Android platform tools. I fixed this issue once by downloading the required build/platform tools manually with the Android SDK Manager after configuring some proxy settings in "Tools" > "Options" – Reid Harrison Mar 05 '15 at 18:34

    Here is my log file http://pastebin.com/6dmu1RpW – Dmac Mar 05 '15 at 18:58
  • I have the build tools and the sdk already installed, so I'm not too sure what's going on here. – Dmac Mar 05 '15 at 19:09

You can download the latest components manually.

  1. Go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
  2. Open SDK Manager.exe
  3. Update the packages.
  4. Start Android Studio.

Solution for now was to use an older stable version. 1.0.2 worked fine.

Uninstall Android Studio and clean all the junk files, then reinstall it should fix that!

First, Run "Control Panel" ⇒ "Programs and Features" ⇒ Uninstall "Android Studio"

Then make sure to delete any of these files if exist:

  • C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk (this directory contains the SDK).
  • C:\Users\username\.android
  • C:\Users\username\.AndroidStudioX.X
  • C:\Users\username\.gradle
  • C:\Users\username\AndroidStudioProjects (these are the Android projects written by you)

I deleted the folder /Users/USER_NAME/Library/Android/sdk and it worked.
