I’m trying to set up my Android Studio environment (Windows) for development for the first time. Following the official guide on developer.android.com .
The instructions say to open the Tools –> SDK Manager. Then Appearance & Behavior –> System Settings –> Android SDK –> SDK Tools –> Google USB Drive.
SDK Manager: Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings
However under system settings, I do not have a Android SDK tab. All forums online seem to already have it initially, or are missing the entire SDK manager.
What could the issue be?
I’ve checked:
-
File –> Project Structure –> SDK Location is set to the correct directory
Project Structure: SDK Location -
Checked that the folder was populated.
Windows File Explorer, Sdk directory -
All installed plugins in Android Studio are enabled
-
Reinstalled once
Possible Issue:
I installed all related files (as far as I can tell) on my D: drive do to space limitations on my C: (the default and containing my OS).
The folder structure is:
D:Android…
…Android Studio
…AndroidStudioProjects
…Sdk
I understand I can download the necessary drivers manually, but if possible I’d like to avoid that as a permanent solution.
