another user

permission denied

I am currently using ubuntu 12.04LTS and I would like to know what can I do with that. Thank you!

extract the android sdk as the user you downloaded it as...don't do anything with the android sdk as root. — RobotHumans, Oct 05 '12 at 21:21

You don't have the right to read the directory, that's why you can't see what's inside. From your terminal, you can use the chmod tools like this :

chmod -R +r android-sdk-linux

This will give you the read right (+r) on all the directory inside the SDK (-R) and you will be able to enter the folder.

Try this in a terminal:

cd Downloads/
sudo chown -R YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_USERNAME android-sdk-linux/

Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your username.
