Bug description
Once you download the android SDK, you expect it to be saved, but it is not, every time I switch to android mode, it is once again asking me to download/select path.
Steps to reproduce this
- Switch to android mode
- Download the SDK
- Close the app and reopen it
- switch to android mode
- youll notice the path has not been persisted and youre tasked to redownload/direct to path.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Android mode SDK selection flow in Processing 4.5.2 on Linux, then trace where the selected SDK path is stored in preferences and restored after restart. Done means selecting or downloading the SDK once leaves the path available when the app is reopened, without prompting again.
