    This is not the first time i'm selecting SDK directory
    I'm trying to select my SDK directory again but it keep saying it is unable to detect it
    Before I had SDK installed on my external HDD and it was working. Now i had it installed on my new SSD but it won't detect



    This is my SDK directory

    I searched for hours. Finally found what worked. I had to use Android Studio. After installation, go to the top bar menu: Tools > SDK Manager. It will default you in the middle of the page to SDK Platforms, but click over into SDK Tools. At the bottom of the page, uncheck "Hide Obsolete Packages," then in the list above, check "Android SDK Tools (Obsolete)". Click apply and you should be golden.

    Unity 2019.3.11f1 has the same problem, with your help I configured Unity. Let's see what happens next, but when creating the game.

    it's because you already have that installed. You are probably running into a different issue. Do you get the same error message when setting the SDK path as shown in the first message of this thread? Are you trying to set the path to "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk"? Which Unity version do you use? Note that for 2019.3 and newer versions the recommended way to get Android SDK is through the Hub. See the setup guide https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-sdksetup.html

    For me, that workaround didn't work, but gave me an idea for changing manually ProjectSettings.asset search for "SDK" and change target SDK from 28 to 30 and it worked!

    I've found an easier solution for people who don't wanna mess with installing Android Studio.

    1. Install via Unity Hub Unity Editor version 2019.4.21f1 (or something similiar) with Android build support.
    2. Go to Unity 2018.4 (which has this problem locating SDK). Open "Edit -> Preferences", select External Tools.
    3. Here you have to locate SDK and NDK of 2019.4.21f1 version. You can locate JDK also, but using Embedded JDK still works.

    You will find SDK, JDK and NDK of Unity 2019.4.21f1 in the following directory:
