Answer 1

I think most of the others answers address the issue, But I found more simple way for windows by adding few environment variables . (Might work for mac as well, I didn't test though)

ANDROID_SDK_ROOT - path to the SDK installation directory

default path - C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk Add enviroment variable ANDROID_SDK_ROOT - set value to desired location Eg: =E:\Android\local\Android\Sdk

For .android folder default path - C:\Users\XXXX\.android Add enviroment variable ANDROID_SDK_HOME- set value to desired location Eg: = E:\Android

For .gradle folder default path - C:\Users\XXXX\.gradle Add enviroment variable GRADLE_USER_HOME - set value to desired location Eg: = E:\Android\.gradle

For .androidstudioXXX

Android Studio-> Help-> Edit Custom Properties Add below lines

idea.config.path=E:/Android/.AndroidStudio4.0/config idea.system.path=E:/Android/.AndroidStudio4.0/system

Add environment variable STUDIO_PROPERTIES - set value to desired location Eg: = E:\Android\idea.properties

Finally don't forget to copy files from the original location to the new location.
