setup android on eclipse but don't know SDK directory
AndroidEclipseAndroid Problem Overview
According to the beginner guide, to setup the ADT Plugin, one of the procedures is
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing
> For the SDK Location in the main > panel, click Browse... and locate your > downloaded SDK directory.
I went to Program Files, found Android directory, but none of those works. Upon research, I found out that Android developers have warned me to take note of the SDK directory, which I didn't.
Now my question is, how do I get that directory path? I don't want to reinstall the SDK, and then install the updates (lots of mess...)
Thanks for the help!
Edited
That exe that you guys wanted me to look for is indeed inside platform-tools.
I installed Android SDK, and it gives me Android SDK Manager. So I am guessing I had the right thing installed on my PC.

Solution 1 - Android
The path to the SDK is:
> C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
This can be used in Eclipse after you replace USERNAME with your Windows user name.
Solution 2 - Android
You can search your hard drive for one of the programs that's installed with the SDK. For instance, if you search for aapt.exe
or adb.exe
, they will be in the platform-tools
directory underneath the installation directory (which is what you're after).
Solution 3 - Android
Search (Ctrl+F) your harddrive(s) for: SDK Manager.exe or adb.exe
Solution 4 - Android
The Android SDK directory is just the folder you get after uncompressing one of these files:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
There's no such "SDK installation"... may be, what you installed was the ADT plugin (which does not include the SDK). You have to download one of the ZIP files you find in the link above, uncompress it and boila! you have the SDK Folder.

Late to the conversion...
For me, I found this at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
This is the default location for Windows 64-bit.
Also, try to recall some of your default locations when not presented with some suggestions.
Solution 6 - Android
a simple windows search for android-sdk
should help you find it, assuming you named it that. You also might just wanna try sdk
Solution 7 - Android
May be i am too much late here and question is already answered, but this may help those who still cannot find sdk location. Open eclipse, click window tab it will show a drop down menu, click preferences, in preferences window click Android, here u go Sdk location is right in front of u copy the address :)
Solution 8 - Android
I found it in this location:
C:\Users\amitsinha02\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools
