I have just installed Android Studio 0.2.2. I want to add the SDK tools to the $PATH, which are in this folder:

so that I can use them with e.g. Phonegap.

Want to develop Android apps? You need Android Studio—the only IDE fully supported by Google for Android app development. This course is fully revised for 2016, covering all the essential features in the latest iteration of Android Studio (v2.0) and critical resources such as the Java Development Kit and Intel HAXM. To install Android Studio on your Mac, proceed as follows: Launch the Android Studio DMG file. Drag and drop Android Studio into the Applications folder, then launch Android Studio. Select whether you want to import previous Android Studio settings, then click OK.

But after I add this folder to the $PATH, it still keeps saying:

android: command not found

Mac Os Android Sdk

Oddly, I can't run any of the executables in that folder even when I cd to that folder and type their names.

What am I doing wrong?

It seems that newer versions of Android Studio don't come bundled with the SDK. So, /Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk/tools will no longer work.

After launching the SDK Manager from Android Studio, I realized the new path is /Users/$USER/Library/Android/sdk/tools.

Steps

Open your ~/.bash_profile file by issuing the command open ~/.bash_profile on the terminal
Add the following lines to the end of that file
1. export PATH=/Users/$USER/Library/Android/sdk/tools:$PATH
2. export PATH=/Users/$USER/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin:$PATH
3. export PATH=/Users/$USER/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:$PATH
Save and close the ~/.bash_profile file
If you want the changes to take action on the current terminal, then source ~/.bash_profile; otherwise, close and re-open the terminal, and the changes will take place automatically

You can add this folder to you PATH in .bash_profile (a hidden file in the home folder of the user):

and then reopen the terminal application.

If you need an environment for all your UI apps, you can use the .launchd.conf (or /etc/launchd.conf for all the users).

Put this in your ~/.profile:

The build tools are unlike the others in that they're in subfolders. Eg there's build-tools/23.0.3, build-tools/25.0.1, build-tools/25.0.2.. so this chooses the most recent one.

You are getting bit by the escape character.

The reason tiziano's answer works for him is because the export command needs that backslash after 'Android'

however, you are probably editing /etc/paths. When you put the path in there, you don't need the backslash, just put the lines:

/Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk/tools/Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk/platform-tools

in /etc/paths, and you are good to go.
