I have a problem using AndroidStudio. I freshly installed it on my Kubuntu 18.04 machine and wanted to create my frist project. Everyhting worked fine and the project opened
I had the same problem. I move the ~/Android/Sdk folder to a different partition and placed a symbolic link!!!
Solution for me: Delete .android , .AndroidStudio3.2 , .gradle folders Start studio.sh again and let it initialize things as for the first time. Then go to File->settings->System Settings->Android SDK and give the new location to the Android SDK folder as an absolute path (not symbolic links).
After this, it worked like charm.
