Android studio “SDK tools directory is missing”

Following 2 possible solutions will resolve this problem :  Solution1 : To fix the problem, it was required that I list the path to my corporate PAC file by using  Configure -> "Appearance and Behavior" -> System Settings -> HTTP Proxy .

Code to get dimention value from dimens.xml in java code

dimens.xml :
<dimen name="test">48dp</dimen>
In code If I do
int valueInPixels = (int) getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.test)
this will return 72 which as docs state is multiplied by density of current phone (48dp x 1.5 in my case)
exactly as docs state :
Retrieve a dimensional for a particular resource ID. Unit conversions are based on the current DisplayMetrics associated with the resources.
so if you want exact dp value just as in xml just divide it with DisplayMetrics density
int dp = (int) (getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.test) / getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density)
dp will be 48 now
