I just use [this SDK folder](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JIMtod4Qxo8_ciJmZyfPKydyu0Xd6kDa/view) and unzip it in the documents/processing folder or elsewhere. Then open I the preferences.txt file. (The location you can find at the bottom of the File/settings menu.) In the android parameters you will find something like: android.emulator.image.abi=x86 android.emulator.port.phone=5566 android.sdk.ar=1.12.0 android.sdk.gvr=1.180.0 android.sdk.path=D:\an\android\sdk android.sdk.play\_services=16.0.1 android.sdk.support=28.0.0 a…

i downloaded it without Android Studio then i chose the processing sdk path and it is run in android mode

the main issue with unprofessional people is that its hard to determined the sdk version that works with processing and Android Studio

as for you it is easy to do so with Android Studio but the new users like me and many others may facing some difficulty and this folder seams good start

i pointed to this folder more than once to others and they could run android mode easy

thanks for your kind passing
