Android Studio Setup Wizard Stuck on Downloading Components

Solution 1

Solution for now was to use an older stable version. 1.0.2 worked fine.

Solution 2

You can download the latest components manually.

  1. Go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
  2. Open SDK Manager.exe
  3. Update the packages.
  4. Start Android Studio.

Solution 3

Uninstall Android Studio and clean all the junk files, then reinstall it should fix that!

First, Run "Control Panel" ⇒ "Programs and Features" ⇒ Uninstall "Android Studio"

Then make sure to delete any of these files if exist:

  • C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk (this directory contains the SDK).
  • C:\Users\username\.android
  • C:\Users\username\.AndroidStudioX.X
  • C:\Users\username\.gradle
  • C:\Users\username\AndroidStudioProjects (these are the Android projects written by you)

    So far, I've run into a brick wall when trying to open Android Studio. Installation seems to run fine, but when I open the program for the first time, I am greeted with the setup wizard which informs me that it will be downloading components.

    The first line in the dialog box tells me that the sdk has been installed in a specific location, which it then lists.

    At the bottom, there are greyed-out navigation buttons for 'Back' 'Next' and 'Finish'. The 'Cancel' button is active, but when I click it, nothing happens.

    There is no button for 'Show Details' to reveal what is going on behind the scenes.

    Basically, this screen does not advance. I have tried on multiple different internet connections. I am not using a proxy.

    When I hit cancel, the button becomes greyed-out, and nothing happens. The only way to exit the screen is to force close it in Task Manager.

    I have tried running as an administrator.

    I am currently running Windows 8.1.

    Any ideas what is wrong?
