Specify a path to Android SDK root folder
By default, the Android SDK root folder is located at ~/.katalon/tools/androidsdk. You can rename or move your Android SDK root folder to another location and use the ANDROIDHOME environment variable to point the path to that new location. See also: [Mobile] Android Setup.
