Yet I seem to have an SDK:

workaround: manually set ANDROID_HOME. But reading the docs, I get the sense that I shouldn't have had to do that?

If you remove ANDROID_HOME and run flutter doctor from the top level flutter repo directory, then does flutter doctor find your Android SDK install location? If you run it from another directory does it not work? That's what I'm seeing on my end after I ran brew install android-sdk... and brew uninstall android-sdk does not fix it.

But then I closed the shell and reopend it and... viola! flutter doctor finds now finds the Android SDK regardless of the current directory. Does this work for you?

No. And I'm not sure how/why it would? Does doctor look in a variety of common locations on a Mac?

I ran flutter doctor from $HOME, and it does not find my Android SDK:

    x Android Studio / Android SDK not found. Download from https://developer.android.com/sdk/
      (or visit https://flutter.io/setup/#android-setup for detailed instructions).

Does this work for you?

Sorry, no. If ANDROID_HOME is not set, doctor cannot find the Android SDK.

Where does doctor look for the SDK on a Mac?

No. And I'm not sure how/why it would? Does doctor look in a variety of common locations on a Mac?

I saw this because I was using two different shells... because I installed/uninstalled several times on one, it would work in one and broke in the other. Closing and reopening one caused flutter doctor to work again. I was hoping that was the issue for you, but no luck.

Where does doctor look for the SDK?

It looks for the SDK in the following locations

$ANDROID_HOME
$ANDROID_HOME/sdk
$homeDirPath/Library/Android/sdk <-- Mac only
$homeDirPath/Library/Android/sdk/sdk <-- Mac only
$homeDirPath/Android/Sdk <-- Linux only
$homeDirPath/Android/Sdk/sdk <-- Linux only

Is your SDK in one of these locations? Or are there an additional locations I should check?

Interesting! Let's debug this in person :)

DOH! ANDROID_HOME was set. To homebrew. Which I removed. :/

perhaps we can display ANDROID_HOME in flutter doctor so that users like me will see that ANDROID_HOME is incorrect set.

Thanks!

This is super hard. I read SO many of these vague comments...

QUESTION:

WHAT SHOULD ANDROID_HOME BE SET TO?

I am GUESSING C:\Program Files\Android

SAME QUESTION FOR ANDROID SDK FILES:

I am GUESSING C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk <-- PS that is just the zip you link to you your site extracted with \tools\ inside right?

I am so freaking confused. 3rd open source app software I got stuck on recognizing the SDK tools with little to no coverage on instructions.

WAIT! I get it.. You have to download the SDK put it somewhere and then have Android Studio find and install it. That could be a bit more clear in the instructions....

And I believe the answer is when you download the SDK zip from Android the folder "\tools" is the one you point it at - regardless of what you name \tools\ or where you put it, thats the one.

Please someone help me with this issue; i did a ANDROID_HOME; but the flutter still not working; what kind of SDK we choose the android one or the one installed with flutter!!! A picture exemple would be great!!! Thx.

if i know my android sdk path, how do i update android_home to that path?

Add support for text shadows and roll engine (26 commits) (#22449)

depends on your MACOS.
for zsh you need to create a new file named .zshrcand set the path. export $ANDROID_HOME=[PATH-TO-Android-SDK]
if you use then you need to edit your .bashrc
