Solved android-studio android-studio-2.3

I have recently updated Android Studio from 2.2.3 to 2.3. Now can't see the option "Launch Standalone SDK Manager", which is useful to check for updates, google play services, etc.

In menu Tools->Android->SDK Manager is there? – Lacee 3/3, 2017 at 11:19

If you have an Android Project, open the project using Android Studio. Let it load completely. Go to Tools --> Android --> SDK Manager. If you don't have a project, in the landing screen for Android Studio, click the Configure arrow. It has the link for SDK Manager – Gymnastic 30/6, 2017 at 16:34

In my case AVD Manager.exe and SDK Manager.exe are also not working – Augite 14/9, 2017 at 6:37

It is a deprecated feature: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=235625 There is an option in Android Studio to "Show Package Details".

For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio. For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager

So now how I can see the updates for build tool version, google play services, support repository etc.... ?? – Seventeen 3/3, 2017 at 11:20

Configure > SDK Manager > Show Package Details. You should also get notifications for updates. – Stacistacia 3/3, 2017 at 11:26

@mFeinstein Ah, okay. Make sure the Android SDK Location is correct. I don't have that problem. Hope you figure it out. – Stacistacia 10/3, 2017 at 6:50

It was working just fine with the last version, I only updated it, also, I can trigger an SDK update using the update messages from the IDE, I just cant use the settings options, but I already opened a bug report for them to take a look at it and I saw other people with the same issue, so this should be fixed soon – Fritzsche 10/3, 2017 at 6:53

Even I had this issue when I updated to Android Studio 2.3

Click on Configure on the bottom left side

Select the Check Box to Show Package Details on the bottom left side

Move between the different tabs as per your requirements.

I also think it's very hidden. Launched Android studio and found it in the menu on Mac here: Android Studio->Preferences...->Appearance and Behaviour->System Settings->Android SDK or search for sdk in the search functionality there. Hard to find "Show Package Details" on the bottom right too. But once you know it's easy. – Creech 27/3, 2017 at 18:54

Can't working on Android Studio 2.3.3

On Mac :

/Users/YourAccount/Library/Android/sdk/tools

click android, you'll see standalone SDK manager

On Windows :

C:\Productivity\android-sdks\tools

double click on android.bat, standalone SDK Manger will be launched (see image below).

As the standalone sdk manager has been deprecated in favor of studio builtin sdk manager, there's a workaround to get back the standalone sdk manager.

Step1.
Download command line sdk tools for your platform:
http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r24-windows.exe
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24-windows.zip

the links refer to an old distribution intentionally (see note below).

Step2.
Copy the SDK Manager.exe, tools/android.bat and tools/lib/archquery.jar into your existing sdk to which android studio is currently being pointed.

Step3.
Run SDK Manager or tools/android.bat and you will get back your beloved standalone sdk manager while having latest android studio > 2.3

Note
if you download latest command line tools for sdk, you wont be able to find the archquery.jar which is required to run the standalone sdk utility.

In this latest version (2.3.1 and 2.3.1+), after some digging, I found a faster way to open AVD and SDK: In the welcome interface of Android Studio, after pressing CTRL+SHIFT+A, a search box will jump out, then you can input "AVD", the AVD manager will come out. To open SDK is the same way.

However, AVD does not work in the welcome interface but SDK works. If you want to use CTRL+SHIFT+A to quickly open AVD you must create a new project and open AVD in the project interface.

I hate that they're forcing us to use Android Studio for this stuff. I don't want to create a project in Studio in order to access the AVD. I'm using NativeScript, this is not acceptable. – Promissory 28/4, 2017 at 15:49

In the latest version of Android Studio (2.3.3) AVD manager doesn't pop up anywhere in the SDK Management (even though the official documentation says so). Very frustrating indeed – Strawn 19/6, 2017 at 11:44

thanks a lot...was struggling to open SDK Manager for last 2 hours – Pylorus 29/6, 2017 at 13:34

If you are a Xamarin user, you can install the Xamarin Android SDK Manager, available on the Visual Studio Marketplace which will give you an interface like this:

NOTE: The Xamarin SDK manager has to be accessed from visual studio, but it will (should) work on both windows and mac

This is great. I was having problems with the default Android SDK Manager. This one works. – Humanist 28/10, 2017 at 11:10

You can open it from your SDK path which in my case is

C:\Users\Akshay\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

Double click on SDK Manager.exe and it will open standalone SDK manager, refer attached Screenshot.
