Android Error – Android SDK Not Found

Fix the Android error "Location of the Android SDK has not been setup in the preferences" that appears when you create a new Eclipse workspace.

This usually happens when you create a new Eclipse workspace. So every time you create a new workspace, check that you don’t get this error by doing the following.

When we try to open the SDK, we get the following error:

Location of the Android SDK has not been setup in the preferences.

This is because the path to the Android SDK has been lost.

Solution

The solution is to go to “Windows/Preferences”.

Then, under “Android” in the “SDK Location” section, browse to the folder where the Android SDK is located (if you followed the installation tutorial on this site, it will be in: "C:android-sdk").
