When you wrote: "Downloaded SDK from beginning" what did you mean? From the initial IDE setup? from the internet? Before installing the IDE? and then you say to change the sdk path. Where? in the IDE? In the OS? where?. Your instructions are unclear, for many of us its clear but not to everyone. I don't even know why this answer was accepted, there are even others with a lot more upvotes. – Disembogue 24/8, 2021 at 15:33

@JohnHarris when I faced this problem, non of these other upvoted answers worked with me, and I wrote the solution that worked with me. and it looks it worked with the one who asked the question, that's why he put this answer as accepted! – Award 30/8, 2021 at 18:29

@JohnHarris about your questions, first I meant downloading the SDK from the beginning from the internet, second, the problem was happening when we were trying to update android studio, so the android studio is already installed but can't be updated, third, change the SDK path in the IDE. If this is the same situation happening with you, I hope it's clear now. – Award 30/8, 2021 at 18:36

I had the same problem but starting the Android Studio in Administrator Mode has helped me to continue with the update.

The reason is that the SDK manager would write the location of the temp file where it downloads the installer. For example in OP's case its mentioned as below:

in a line form the log or error message

Due to some reason that file might not be available any more and Android studio instead of asking for a re-download would give this error.

The solution to fix this is to find the file .installData from where SDK manager is getting this info and delete it. This will force SDK manager to re download that component only and you don't need to download the complete SDK again

The content of the file looks something like this

#Tue May 16 18:41:10 GST 2017
class=com.android.repository.impl.installer.BasicInstaller
path=C\:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\PackageOperation03

The content and path of the file would be different for different components

This works for me. Just fin the .installData file and delete :) – Bonn 10/7, 2018 at 11:0

worked for me.. followed the paths (which uses ; instead of . ) in the error message to find and delete the installData files and voila.. all is good – Conundrum 3/10, 2018 at 0:7

there is no such file as .installData in my sdk path C:\Android\android-sdk – Amalita 1/6, 2019 at 15:32

@Amalita can you share the error messages that you get? By the way, it is usually inside sdk-root\sources\android-##\.installer\.installData and sdk-root\platforms\android-##\.installer\.installData – Remembrance 11/6, 2019 at 6:37

I got the same issue on Linux. It was a permission issue on the SDK installation folder.

In Tools -> Android -> SDK manager there is the SDK installation folder at the top of the window.

Just do a chmod 777 -R on this folder, problem solved.

I had the same problem and i tried to uninstall/install the android studio but that didn't work out for me. I had recently installed a fresh copy of windows. I'm using windows 10 64bit. My problem turned out to be permission for the folder that contained the android studio/sdk. To solve it, I removed old user permissions for user of old windows and added full control for my new user(not sure but i think modify permission would be enough). To do so, I right click on the folder then selected the security tab.

Then click on Edit

Then click Add in the new screen

my user is named hany so i wrote hany then clicked on Check Names and it choose the right one.Click Ok

the user appears as Users (DESKTOP-8FKNNEM\Users) and then i check the Full control Then Ok

If the user had already existed in the Security tab then it should have permissions that would enable writing

My solution: (not as complicated as it looks)

Close project and exit Android Studio.
Run Android Studio as Administrator. (Right click on Android's icon will do.)
Android automatically loads a previous project, at exactly where I have left it supposedly.
However, it isn't where I have left it. It is at an earlier project where things (sdk settings/locations) have NOT gone wrong.
Next thing, I open the project I want to work on. A dialogue box appears saying that the Project SDK and Android SDK are pointing to different local folders. Two buttons allow me to choose which SDK location I want to use.
Either one should work!!!

Reflection:

It happens when we switch to a different user but tried to work on the same project.
We should remember to run Android Studio as Administrator unless we have an absolute clear mind about how SDK works.

Make sure you don't have an emulator running when you perform the sdk update. That was my problem that was giving this error.

Check the logs - Menu -> help -> show log in files.
In file explorer sort files by modified time.
Go to end at latest updated file you will find some error written there

In my case, it was "No space left on device".

It happens some times, you have to re-download it from the beginning with all the files because it seems that the download failed at some point, and then retry

Once I also stuck on that when tried to install emulator via AndroidSDK manager. The solution is simple. Right click on your Android sdk home and select sort by time. And see last modified files. In my case there were two text files. First file in root folder - ".knownPackages" with text something like: "ÈäUuMá–m ™ŒÝ¼´" and another one in".installdata"with endless text "nullnullnull....". But i forgot its location right now. You can search that in windows explorer. Then I replaced them to a folder not related to Android home. Sdk re-generated them both after emulator installation.And it started work as it was before

The easiest way I used to fix this issue is to run Android Studio as administrator (Note! My android studio installed on C:/ partition, so this issue caused by permissions)

I found a file ".installData" on the system drive of Windows on advice @dmsherazi. I in this file simply deleted a line in which the path is specified. Then I restarted the Studio and the update fell into place.

Go to "android-sdk" folder. Then go to "ndk-bundle", find and delete ".installData". Come back to Android Studio and goto "Help" and "Check for Updates...". I hope this will work for most of the systems. This problem solved on Android Studio 3.3.2 version.

If this issue is with Ubuntu please try to start android studio as an administrator privilege by using the command

sudo sh studio.sh

It will resolve this issue.

If you are going for a console command it would be:

chmod -R 777 /www/store. The -R (or --recursive) options make it recursive.

Or if you want to make all the files in the current directory have all permissions type:

chmod -R 777 ./

If you need more info about chmod command see: File permission

First of all you have to show hidden files. then go to this location... "C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator.installer" there you will find a file by name ".installData". just delete it. Come back to Android Studio and goto "Help" and "Check for Updates...". I hope this will work for most of the systems. Thank me later😎

In the case you have installed android SDK manager using Microsoft Visual Studio (Probably to use with Xamarin), then in some cases you can't install android sdk tools in Android Studio. So, the solution would be to open Microsoft Visual Studio and use SDK Manager from there which is different. After installation, you can use it in Android Studio (If you are using the same SDK root for both) --I tried almost all of previous answers and still could solve the problem.
