How to update SDK in Android Studio in the background


Today I'm trying to update the SDK in Android Studio on my Ubuntu, and looking for the menu that make the download process running in the background. So I want to download the SDK and continue to work in Android Studio.

As far as I can remember Eclipse has menu that can download in the background task so I can continue work while downloading.

I've tried to find the option in settings but I could not find it, and on the downloading GUI has no option to download it in the background, here is my screenshot: enter image description here

Is anyone having the same issue here? How can I resolve this?


Solution

  • You can go to tools -> android -> sdk manager and click on Launch stand alone sdk manager hyperlink. This will open sdk manager outside android studio, select the packages and download. You can continue to work on android studio this way.
