SDK Location not found

Question

I created recently a new local repo and pulled some code to it, from our remote repository.

When i open the project, I receive a message in console:

Gradle sync failed: SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable.
     Consult IDE log for more details

I followed the instructions here to set the environment variable (Im in a Mac) and checked my local.properties:

sdk.dir=/Users/admin/Library/Android/sdk

So, both things are settled up, and I am still getting this error. Ive searched, but no solution worked for me.

Any help? Thank you.

EDIT:

This only happens with one project. The rest of the projects works perfectly.

In Android Studio:

Open your project navigator
Pick the root item, right click --> Open Module Settings.
In the Android SDK location field, make sure the correct path is selected (up to the sdk folder). See example below:

Have you tried restarting Android Studio and/or invalidating caches (File --> Invalidate Caches)? – Gil Moshayof Aug 24 '15 at 08:24
also, try changing sdk.dir to android.dir in your local.properties file, and make sure it's at your project's root. – Gil Moshayof Aug 24 '15 at 08:26
Did both things...no luck – Fustigador Aug 24 '15 at 09:10
If the SDK path is correct, remove `/sdk` part from `Android SDK Location` path. Then click on `apply` (or ok). gradle should start resyncing... and then the error should be gone. – bagage Feb 07 '18 at 13:57

I had the same issue and tried the above comments. Later on the error changed to

"Gradle sync failed: failed to find Build Tools revision 23.0.1 Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)"

It installed the revision then the gradle build completed. So try updating your SDK.

On Linux(Ubuntu 16.04) you can set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable by editing the ~/.bashrc file, by running nano ~/.bashrc then adding the environment variable which points to the path of your Android Sdk in my case which is '/home/kbuhiire/Android/Sdk' thus the environment variable looks something like this. export ANDROID_HOME='/home/kbuhiire/Android/Sdk' and after saving the file run source ~/.bashrc.
