android echo,android - echo $ANDROID_HOME returns blank (mac os catalina) - Stack Overflow

I've followed the instructions here to install android studio and the android sdk.

I've added the following lines to ~/.bash_profile, and I've run source ~/.bash_profile.

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

The path is correct, I've checked it in Android Studio > Preferences > System Settings > Android SDK.

What is the problem? When I run source ~/.bash_profile, and then echo $ANDROID_HOME, I get some output. But if I close the terminal and restart it, and then I run echo $ANDROID_HOME, I get no output.

If found similar questions here and on other websites, but nothing seems to work. Editing the export lines, directly executing "export ..." in the terminal instead of bash_profile, ... . It all fails to work.

Anyone some tips to help me out?
