Where does homebrew install android-sdk?

Question

Where does homebrew install the android-sdk when you run the command:

brew cask install android-sdk

I want to be able to add it to the PATH

Answer 1

Unfortunately, brew has now changed where android-sdk is installed, so all of these older questions are no longer correct.

When installing via brew cask install android-sdk, you'll now be informed that you should add export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/usr/local/share/android-sdk to your profile, and, indeed, that directory is now a symlink to the version android-sdk directory (currently /usr/local/Caskroom/android-sdk/25.2.3).

To summarise, add the following to your .profile/.bashrc/.whatever:

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/usr/local/share/android-sdk

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools
