Recently I've started to get involved in Android developing, and I learned that Android Studio was available contrary to Eclipse. So I downloaded the new software by Google and started it up. It prompted me to install some SDK packages and I did all that it recommended me to do at
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/sdk-manager.html
Then I saw a link that said you can find out where your SDK path is by opening the SDK manager up top, as well as the answer described on this page
Android Studio - How to Change Android SDK Path
So I copied the path and tried to use the run command (I can't post images yet) The path is described as C:\Users\baruy\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
I get an error saying that it doesn't exist. I browse for the files by myself, to learn that there is no AppData folder under baruy
Windows 8 64-bit, home edition. Please help, thanks
AppData is a hidden folder on windows. In order to show hidden files and folders on windows 8, follow this guide on msdn.
In short, you should go to Control panel->Folder options->"View" tab and then check the "Show hidden files, folders and drives". If you don't find the android sdk after that than it is simply not there.
