Android Studio Change SDK Path

The default location for the Android SDK in IntelliJ Android Studio IDE is typically found at /Users/code2care/Android/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk (on macOS). This directory is where the Android SDK is installed and is used for both new projects and existing projects that lack a local.properties file with an SDK.dir property.

To change this SDK path, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Close any open Android projects in Android Studio. For best results, completely exit the IDE and restart it.
2. Upon reopening, you should see the "Welcome to Android Studio" window, featuring Recent Projects on the left and Quick Start options on the right. Click on Configure from the Quick Start options.
3. Select Project Defaults from the Configure menu.
4. Click on Project Structure.
5. A pop-up window titled SDK Locations will appear.
6. In this window, you can modify the path of the SDK in the Android SDK location text field.
7. After making your changes, click Apply to save them.
8. You're all set!
