Why is my SDK is not opening and telling me the SDK is not recognized as an internal or external command and I need help to update my SDK?

But it keeps telling me the SDK manager is opening but ultimately it won't show up.

Where is located your SDK? – Bowie 2/6, 2015 at 22:28

the complete path :P – Bowie 2/6, 2015 at 22:56

oh :p D:\softwares\SDK ECCLPS\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk – Eulogist 2/6, 2015 at 22:59

For anyone, getting this message in the command prompt:

'sdkmanager' is not recognized as an internal or external command

On Windows, right click My Computer icon:

Properties > Advanced system settings > Advanced (tab) > Environment Variables > System Variables

Click on Path, New... and paste in the path to your SDK.

Mine was:

C:\Users\alex\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\bin

To solve this problem you have to check two things:

Your sdk location path
Your java environment variable

No. 1 solution:

Window -> Preferences -> Android and under SDK Location browse your folder containing the SDK and click Apply. Make sure that in the selected folder is a file named SDK Manager.

No 2. solution:

Just reset your java path in environment variables.

Since new updates, there are some changes that are not mentioned in the documentation. After unzipping the command line tools package, the top-most directory you'll get is cmdline-tools. Rename the unpacked directory from cmdline-tools to tools, and place it under $C:/Android/cmdline-tools

why this location?? 
follow along with this medium article for a better understanding --

https://ksrk.medium.com/install-flutter-without-android-studio-on-window-9d3781172912

now it will look like $C:/Android/cmdline-tools/tools

and it will work perfectly.

You may have deleted the SDK manager or changed its location. try resetting your SDK manager path manually after locating it.

I reset it but it's not helping . – Eulogist 2/6, 2015 at 22:57

try copying the whole SDK folder from someone else, then delete the original one and paste the new one at the same location with the same name as the last one – Movable 3/6, 2015 at 9:59

I think your SDK path is incorrect, configure your SDK path

from the menu go to File -> Project Structure then change the Android SDK Location.
