Intellij Idea - Create Android App Failed

When I'm trying to create android application in intellij idea I get the following The project wasn't generated by 'android' tool : can't find sdkmanager.jar /Users/timon/developm

Solution 1:

This looks like a path problem. I don't know exactly what's going on but you might want to try opening the app from the command line rather than through Finder. This way it will inherit your PATH - it doesn't when you launch from Finder. In general, even when I don't have problems, I make sure to run Intellij from the command line.

Solution 2:

I had the same problem with IntelliJ Idea 11 on mac. Adding export PATH=/Users/myhomedir/Downloads/android-sdk-macosx:$PATH and starting idea from command line terminal helped.
