This question was asked by Prembo back in February, but nobody answered. Maybe now someone has a recommendation? Thanks.

A:
From http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html, it seems that you can install the SDK anywhere, so long as you
- "execute the android tool in the
<sdk>/tools/folder" - Add the
<sdk>/toolsdirectory to your system path
More info can be found here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

Thanks, I've been looking at that page, but I'm really looking for some kind of consensus good place to put it.

The best place to put it is where you will remember where it is located - and no, I'm not being smarmy (or specious), it's just that this is a personal choice and typically not a professional one.

Thanks, Kevin; I appreciate your logic. It's just that I don't have a standard place where I put these things, and I'm interested to know what an unsurprising place would be for other developers. There are a lot of standard places for things in unix - and the standards seem sometimes to be required by some software, that is, more than just convention. I realize Macs are free-er, but would still like to conform to some kind of standard or convention.

I just have mine in MyUser/Documents/Development. I'm the only one that used my Mac, so I didn't need to worry about making it accessible system-wide.

A:
My personal preference is to put it in ~/opt/local/android-sdk-mac or /Developer/android-sdk-mac the latter being where Xcode and all the Apple Dev tools are held.

Accepted answer; although the others are true - the kit can be installed anywhere - this is in the spirit of my question and gives me something concrete to work with. Thanks.
