Android Studio 2.3 sdk manager bookmarks are grayed out

Android Studio 2.3 → Configure → SDK Manager. These tabs are grayed out: SDK Tools, SDK Update Sites. In addition, the Show Package Details checkbox is grayed out. The system is updating normally. No error messages.

I think this happened at some point with Studio 2.2. But the standalone SDK manager, which was deprecated since 2.3, always worked. From 2.3 I can update what is, but I can not install / uninstall packages.

I reviewed some of the previous reports of similar errors. I tried:

  • Creating a project to Gradle find the SDK, etc.
  • Wipe the installation by turning on the SDK and reinstalling from scratch.
  • Run as administrator.
  • Return to the earlier Javas: 8/101 and 8/92.

Nothing matters. The hardware is Intel Xeon 6 or 8 core / Windows 8.1 and Lenovo W520 quadcore running Windows 7. The behavior is identical to all systems. Java - version 8/121.

Edit: It looks like there are two sdk installations, 1. in c: / Users / username / AppData / Local / Android / Sdk, size 1.42GB. 2. other in C: / Android / sdk, size 4.47GB

The sdk in Local is newer and smaller. One in C: older and more.

When setting the location to c: / Users / username / AppData / Local / Android / Sdk allows you to run the sdk manager, it leaves it inexplicable why the sdk manager wants to see the old installation.

I think I have an answer. Installing Android Studio Bundle installs sdk on C: / Android / sdk. But the first run of the installation wizard installs sdk in c: / Users / username / AppData / Local / Android / Sdk.

In a clean installation, the fix should fix the sdk path of the first run of the wizard to C: / Android / sdk. The wizard provides a dialog box for this. Do this before clicking “continue,” and everything is fine.

But this is a pretty massive mistake. Apparently, developers rely on sophisticated tools without bothering with a final check of the end.

All you have to do is click "Change" and change the location of the Android SDK to: C: \ Android \ sdk or on the hard drive that you installed.

A possible workaround at the moment is to use the command line tool in the / bin / sdkmanager tools. More details here: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/sdkmanager.html

The quickest solution to this problem is to create the C: / Android / sdk folder manually. Then return to the SDK Manager settings and specify it in this place. Then it will let you download the SDK.
