“unable to locate adb” using Android Studio [duplicate]

Answer 1

(I am using Android Studio 3.0.1)

1. I downloaded "SDK Platform-Tools" from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. Copied 'adb.exe' to C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools.
3. Then I got no errors when running the app.
4. I also added C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe to the exception list of my anti-virus tool
