If I choose Tools > Android > SDK Manager from the menu, or click the SDK Manager icon on the tool bar, nothing happens. What can I do to correct the problem?

I had the same problem. When checking the {SDK}/tools/android it said it couldn't create a file, and I noticed it was in a location that needed admin approval.

When launching android studio, launch it as administrator then try it. Fixed it for me.
