I just installed Android Studio, it took a bit of time and I saw it downloading the SDK during the installation process. So, I guess Android Studio somehow contains the SDK.

Now, Android Studio is OK but for my scripts I also need command line tools such as lint, mksdcard, adb, fastboot. In a normal SDK, these typically reside in $ANDROID_HOME/tools and $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools.

PROBLEM: I can't find these command line tools within the Android Studio folder. Zero result for:

find android-studio -type f -name lint
find android-studio -name sdk

Is there any better solution than downloading the SDK again? (This takes bandwidth, disk space, and time to upgrade everything once in a while)

Android Studio 1.5.1 on Ubuntu 2015.10

Yes, you can. Android Studio setup includes the SDK. It includes most of the required stuff. If you need additional things you can launch the Stand Alone SDK manager from settings and download what ever additional things you need.

Open File -> Settings and select Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK, you will get this window:

Android Studio settings: Android SDK

Take note of the content of the value of the Android SDK Location field. Tools like adb, lint, etc are all found within this directory.
