Answer 1

Simply go to folder android then create a file called local.properties and inside this file specify your SDK location. after that open Terminal and type following commands

• Type - echo export "ANDROID_HOME=/Users/yourName/Library/Android/sdk"
• ~/.bash_profile.

That's it

Answer 2

Go to your environment variables and add ANDROID_HOME variable with SDK location
