Description of the steps to unify all necessary IDE files into a single directory.

1. Download the IDE in compressed format NOT THE INSTALLER https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads
2. Extract the content inside the sw_files folder, it should look like this:

   sw_files\
   	bin
   	jre
   	...
   

3. Run start-studio.bat (or start-studio.sh)
4. Choose not to import the configuration
5. Advance to the configuration type selection screen and choose custom
6. Check that the following directories are correct::
   • JDK

   {PortableAppPath}\sw_files\jbr

   • Android SDK

   {PortableAppPath}\sdk

7. You can save the projects wherever you want, but it is recommended to use the projects folder
8. Main directory should have looked like this:

   .android
   .AndroidStudio
   .android_machines
   .gradle
   projects
   readme.en.md
   readme.md
   sdk
   start-studio.bat
   studio.properties
   sw_files
   

9. Done! From here on always run the IDE with the start-studio.bat (or start-studio.sh) script

• There are 3 files that I have not managed to include in the directory: adbkey, adbkey.pub, y analytics.settings, which are located in the path: {HOMEPATH}/.android
• It is possible that the first time you load a project you get some error of lack of libraries, it is normal since at that moment some necessary files are still being downloaded.
