I have just downloaded AS 4.1.1 and created a new project with "Empty Activity", left the default name and Minimum SDK with defaults. I get the error in the subject. this is the view of the project:

enter image description here

I made absolutely no change. For the fun of it, I tried "Make project". Nothing happens, no output window to show the build progress/errors, like you would see in most IDEs.

Thanks for your help, Michel

  • I tried on my Macbook, same error. – user2343647 Dec 29 '20 at 18:43
  • What are the default name and Min SDK? And did you already download any SDKs ?(via the SDK Manager, a small button with a cube and a downward pointing arrow) – Bö macht Blau Dec 29 '20 at 18:52
  • Default name: My Application, Min SDK: 18. According to some people after googling it, the SDK is automatically installed with this version of AS. Is is located in \AppData\Local\Android\SDK – user2343647 Dec 29 '20 at 19:00
  • Other things I tried, downgrade the JDK from 13 to 8. Same error – user2343647 Dec 29 '20 at 19:03

    Sorry but remote support is difficult :( I found a step by step guide [https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/studio-config](https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/studio-config), maybe this will help you – Bö macht Blau Dec 29 '20 at 19:13

SOLVED. At first, I upgraded from 3 to 4.1.1. Then I uninstalled AS 4.1.1 and downloaded a fresh install. Still the problem persisted. I uninstalled again, but this time, I searched for anything Android-related stuff and deleted it, including the SDK under %APP_DATA%\Local\Android\Sdk. When I re-installed, it prompted me for SDK installation. Selected the SDK and finished installation. I re-created the application and the error is now gone. Frankly, I pity the newbie to which this could happen.
