Use Android Studio With Existing Android SDK Tools

March 09, 2023 Post a Comment

NOTICE: I found other questions and answers about the same issue, but the answers are for older versions of Android Studio, and I want confirmation if it still can work for the lat

Solution 1:

Yes it is possible , Studio and SDK can been seen as separate components and they can be linked by providing SDK path in the studio IDE or you can configure you SDK path thorough the setting menu shown at the start screen of android studio.

You can download the standalone IDE through Official Android Studio site.

Note : http://tools.android.com/ has dropped the support of providing separate SDK and IDE components but still IDE can be downloaded individually from Android Official Download Link

Steps to configure after download

1.) Download and Extract the IDE

2.) Find studio or studio64 exe and run the appropriate one in your OS

3.) When you start your studio , it will probably ask for SDK location through a prompt screen and provide the location and hit next and next , eventually it will show you a little process for update window and show you finish screen (Must follow the note below)

3.a) If there was no prompt screen shown then you can configure the SDK path using the setting option on the Splash screen of android studio

3.b) It's possible that when you open an old studio project and SDKis still not configured because every project has it's own setting so again you can see the link in error/log window as configure SDK and just click the link and provide path

Note : Disable internet before configuring you studio otherwise it will look for Updates

Helpful points to possible issue

For old project , replace the old dependencies with the one you have in project structure link for Visual representation of steps
Replace the gradle version with the one supported by your new studio and do the same if any other tool is not found.
