explain how to setup the android sdk with LiveStudio on MacOs. I am using Android Studio Version 2.3.1 succesfully on Mac OS Sierra using the path Library/Android/sdk (relative to my home directory).

When I try to select that path for LiveCode Version 9.0.0 dp-6 in Mobile Support/Location of Android development SDK root i get the message

"The chosen folder is not a valid Android SDK. Please ensure you have installed it correctly, and enabled support for Android 4.0.3 (API15)".

So i checked the installed SDKs platforms and Android 4.0.3 IceCreamSandwich API Level 15 Revision 5 is indeed installed.

The problem seems to haven been common in the past see e.g.

What can I do about this with the current state of LiveCode and Android SDK versions?

Will this happen again on Android SDK changes?

You must use absolute path, not relative path.

It's a folder containing:

  • add-ons
  • docs
  • platforms
  • samples
  • sources
  • temp
  • build-tools
  • extras
  • platform-tools
  • SDK
  • Readme.txt
  • system-images
  • tools

  • the sequence is start LiveCode 9.0 / New / Tablet Landscape / Settings / Mobile Support / Click "..." for Location of Android development SDK root Therefore I donot have direct influence on whether the path is absolute or relative or do i? – Wolfgang Fahl May 31 '17 at 05:34
  • You need just the SDK, not the full Android studio. You must give the SDK path. – MaxV Aug 28 '17 at 10:24
