[Solved] Android Studio canary cant setup emulator/adv s from AUR

Hello community.-

I cant seem to install correctly the android emulator, i have tried with a alternative path of the android-sdk still no luck, i have followed the instructions in the wiki and installed all the android-dummy packages, because i want to install platforms, etc from within the Android Stuido SDK Manager and ADV Manager. However with the AUR packages i cannot write in the sdk, i have changed the /opt/android-sdk folder permissions, owner, etc as the wiki says but it doesnt work, and now Android Studio asks me for the android sdk path, even though its set to /opt/android-sdk from the IDE and with an environmental variable (setting ANDROID_SDK_ROOT). Could someone help me please, i cant even start to develp in Android because of this. Thank you in advance.

Hi

I usually keep my android-sdk in a writable directory into the which I symlink the tools already installed from the AUR.

With this way your android-sdk is writable to download some little dependency not present in the AUR and you still can use the AUR packages.

Interesting, but the symlink part, i know how to create symlinks, but how can i see those from inside Android Studio? I want those platforms for example to be available inside Android Studio?

Re: [Solved] Android Studio canary cant setup emulator/adv s from AUR

just make your Android studio point to your writable directory

of course your <ANDROID_SDK_DIR>/platforms must include at least a symlink to the AUR android-sdk-platform package

Ok so i had some progress, my question is. I need ADB right? So it comes with the android-tools AUR package, but if i install that package i cant install android-sdk-platform, it complains that android-tools is installed, so if i install android-sdk-platform will i get still ADB?

I will remove android-tools and install android-sdk-platform as you say... BTW thank you @Muflone

Edit.-  I have installed android-sdk-platform-tools and fixed a little problem in one directory with permissions, and now emulator is running. So thank you very much and this is SOLVED.
