SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable

Question

I recently tried to import sample Android games I downloaded from Google's developer website. After importing them into Android Studio, I'm getting the following error: Error: SDK location not found. Define location with `sdk.dir` in the local.properties file or with an `ANDROID_HOME` environment variable. What is this? I want to run the sample programs from Android Studio.

Accepted Answer

Please follow the below steps:

- Go to your react-native Project then go to the android directory Create a file with the following name:

local.properties

- Open the file and paste your Android SDK path like below:

For windows users:

```
sdk.dir=C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
```

or (for newer versions of Android Studio / IntelliJ IDEA):

```
sdk.dir=C\:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
```

Where USERNAME your PC user name. Also, make sure the folder is sdk or Sdk.

Example:

```
sdk.dir=C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
```

or:

```
sdk.dir=C\:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
```

For Mac users:

```
sdk.dir = /Users/USERNAME/Library/Android/sdk
```

Where USERNAME is your OSX username.

For Linux (Ubuntu) users:

```
sdk.dir = /home/USERNAME/Android/Sdk
```

Where USERNAME is your linux username (Linux paths are case-sensitive: make sure the case of `S` in `Sdk` matches)

In case this doesn't work, add ANDROID_HOME variable in "Environment Variables" as `C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk`

SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable
