Intellij Java project, update Android SDK

Answered

I am working on a Java project in Intellij, then a popup shows up to update the Android emulators. I don't want Android emulators, so I want to swithc those off. However, in order to do so, I need to open an Android project. In a java project, there is no Android entry under "Tools". My question is, why do I get the Update Android Emulator popup in a Java project when I can't configure the android SDK from a Java project view? Either don't show the popup, or give me the Android entry in the Tools menu in a Java project.

Hi. If you don't need Android support, it is possible to disable android plugin: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/enabling-and-disabling-plugins.html

That's not what I asked. I develop Android apps one day, Java applicatiions another. When I get an android SDK popup, I want to see a view that contains Android. If not, don't give me the popup.

Android SDK/emulators update is a global feature not specific to any project. IDE will suggest to update it even when there is no project open and Android plug-in is enabled. At the moment there is no way to disable it.

Request is welcome at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA.

I resolved the issue. Updating the SDK in Android Studio also didn't work. I found a rights issue on the directory where the SDK is installed. I changed those rights accidentally some time ago. So it is entirely my fault and I apologize for keeping ppl busy with my post.
