How To Fix - Error "SDK location not found" in Android, React Native or Flutter ?


In this post, we will see How To Fix - Error "SDK location not found" in Android, React Native or Flutter. You can face this error while using Android, React Native, Flutter, Genymotion etc.


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

  • First thing first, check if you have Android SDK already installed. And find out Folder\directory location of the Android SDK. You can find the SDK location from your Android Studio --> File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK
 

  • Normally the default location of Android SDK are -
    • Linux: ~/Android/Sdk
    • Mac: ~/Library/Android/sdk
    • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\sdk
 

  • So if Android SDK is not present ,make sure that you have installed Stable Android Studio version (Preferably the Latest Stable). At the Time of writing this post, the Latest Android Studio and corresponding Android Gradle plugin are as follows -
Android Studio Version

Android Gradle Plugin Version

Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1

3.1 or higher

Bumblebee | 2021.1.1

3.2 or higher

 

  • Assuming you have the Android Studio installed, you should have the Android SDK in the system now.
    • For Windows, it could be somewhere like depending on your installation and system -
      • /Users/USERNAME/Library/Android/sdk or
      • /Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/Android/sdk
      • or some different dir for you
 

  • Make sure you have Gradle also setup. Note that it is mandatory to have Gradle and Android Gradle plugin setup before you proceed. Android and Gradle versions MUST be Compatible. If Gradle Plugin is not setup, you can check our other post, where we have explained in detail how to do it - How to Update or Upgrade Gradle version in Android Studio?
  At this point, we assume your Android Studio and Gradle is properly setup.  

Option 1:

We can fix the issue by using the below steps -

  • For this option, as a next step, We have to create a local.properties file so that we can point where the Android SDK is located. Hence Go to your React Native Project. And then Android. Create a file - local.properties .
 

  • Once you create the local.properties file, add the Android SDK details based on the operating system that you have.
    • For Windows

sdk.dir = C:\\\\Users\\\\<YOUR\_USERNAME>\\\\AppData\\\\Local\\\\Android\\\\sdk
    • For Linux

sdk.dir = /home/<YOUR\_USERNAME>/Android/Sdk
    • For Mac

sdk.dir = /Users/<YOUR\_USERNAME>/Library/Android/sdk
 

  • Make sure setting.gradle file present. The settings.gradle file, located in the root project directory, tells Gradle which modules it should include when building your app. This Settings.gradle just includes the module in your application. By default it will be 'app' module. If this file is not present, create the settings.gradle file and add the following.

    include ':app'
 

     

Option 2:

Add the Android details to your System Environment variables. For Windows -

    • Add the below variable to the Environment Variables list. Go to PC --> Properties -> Enviromnent variables --> Create New System variables. Variable name = ANDROID_HOME.
    • Set the below value to ANDROID_HOME

      C:\\Users\\YourUserName\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk
  For Linux - 

  • Open the ~/.bash_profile

touch ~/.bash\_profile; open ~/.bash\_profile
Or you can use other editors as well


mate ~/.bash\_profile
vim ~/.bash\_profile
nano ~/.bash\_profile
 

  • Add the below variables. Then Save and close the file.

export ANDROID\_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID\_HOME/emulator
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID\_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID\_HOME/tools/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID\_HOME/platform-tools
 

  • Reload and Make the changes to get reflected.

    source ~/.bash\_profile
OR


     . ~/.bash\_profile
 

  • Cross-check the changes.

echo $ANDROID\_HOME  
echo $PATH
  For Mac - 

  • Open the ~/.bash_profile

touch ~/.bash\_profile; open ~/.bash\_profile
Or you can use other editors as well


mate ~/.bash\_profile
vim ~/.bash\_profile
nano ~/.bash\_profile
  • Add the below variables. Then Save and close the file.

export ANDROID\_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID\_HOME/emulator
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID\_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID\_HOME/tools/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID\_HOME/platform-tools
  • Reload and Make the changes to get reflected.

    source ~/.bash\_profile
OR


     . ~/.bash\_profile
  • Cross-check the changes.

  echo $PATH
  Whether you followed Option 1 or Option 2, either ways after the Fix is applied as per the Steps, Do Restart the Android Studio. Hope this helps to fix the issue.
