I'm getting the below error after I update the SDK Android 5.0 (API 21)
"parseSdkContent failed Could not initialize class android.graphics.Typeface"
Another thread suggested to delete .android folder, yes its works, but after sometime this error will trigger again and not able to select any Project Build Target SDK, (its allows to check the target and apply, but again open Properties->android, its showing unchecked) to build the app.
I'm using Android SDK Build Tools Rev 19.1 and Eclipse Juno. ADT version 23.0.4
Note : If my Android Project target SDK version is 20 or 19, there is no problem.
This is android package error,its corrupted android 5.0 sdk platform. Just Delete the folder <sdk>/<platforms>/<android-21> and download the android 5.0 sdk platform from sdk manager.
Got the fix. This happened because you installed a new Eclipse and loaded the 5.0 API Directly. You just have to delete the file:
".android in C:\User\\" in Windows.
After this step just install the ANDROID SDK BUILD-TOOLS revision 21
Hope it works for you :)
I am not able to include edit text field in xml in eclipse.
The error says:
Exception raised during rendering: java.lang.System.arraycopy([CI[CII)V
Exception details are logged in Window > Show View > Error Log
I am using API20: Android 4.4W version for viewing.
How can we change the version of it?
I think 4.4(the new update android wear) Doesnt support edittext
Go to Window > Android SDK Manager > Android 4.4 > Delete package
Better you create a new project by downloading the version 4.4.2 i.e api level 19.
The SDK Manager allows you to install or update the latest Android
platform tools. When downloading and installing the ADT Bundle, the
latest tools should be already availaqble with the bundle; however,
you may also want to periodically check for available updated
versions of the SDK/platform tools.
In Eclipse, select the menu Window->Android SDK Manager. If the Android SDK location was not set up correctly within Eclipse, go to
Windows-> Preferences->Android, and set the SDK location field to
the root of your SDK install directory.
In the Android SDK manager window, sort by API level, click Deselect All and check the following boxes:
From Tools:
Android SDK Platform-tools
From Android 4.4 (API 19:
Documentation for Android SDK
From Android 2.3.3 (API 10):
SDK Platform
Samples for SDK (optional)
From Extras:
I know there are some sort-of duplicates of this, but none of the answers have been able to help me so far.
When I open a project, I get the following error:
[2014-01-07 14:18:00 - Permissions] Unable to resolve target 'android-17'
Does anybody know what may be the problem here?
You can right click on your project -> properties -> Android -> Select the Target android version you want to compile and Apply !
If you don't have any target versions to compile, you probably need to download them on your SDK Manager
Open your Android SDK Manager, and make sure your SDK API is installed
You might have several Android SDK folders installed, like me; check that your workspace build path is the one your machine defaults to.
You are probably trying to use a library that was built using API 17 and you do not have it installed. If you are using API 18+ you will be fine.
goto your sdk manager.exe open it, check the API 17 checkbox and click the 'install x packages' button, this will download and install these packages, if the project still shows error go in your project build path and fix the library path error if any
Sometimes the error can appear when you are working with source code built with an ADT that is a higher version than what you are currently using. It could be worth it to see if ADT has a later version than you are working. Sometimes ADT (especially with Eclipse. Link to get new here: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) cannot find updates when asked to find them so you may need to install the newest version and overwrite/delete the old version
The target API in project.properties may be different from the one you have installed. This may happen if you reinstall Eclipse, for example. Open the Android SDK Manager and check to see which version of the API you have installed. Then go to project.properties and set "target=android-xx" when "xx" is your API version.
It's very simple:
Click Android SDK Manager
Download Android 4.2.2 (Api 17)
After install Android 4.2.2(Api 17)
Click right on project --> Properties --> Android --> Target Build Target
Choose Android 4.2.2 Api 17.
Finish
As its apparent that Android 4.4 ( KITKAT ) API Level: 19 is now available.
I just want to update to the latest API Level and then change the android:targetSdkVersion="19"
in the manifest file.
I clicked on Android SDK Manager using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers having Version: Helios Service Release 2.
The Android SDK Manager opened but I didn't found Android API Level: 19 in the list of Packages.
Further I saw other SO posts mentioning that if you clear the cache under Tools -> Options in Android SDK Manager and reload the Android SDK Manager then you will get this API listed in packages.
I did the same but no luck.
The screenshot below-
Upgrading to latest "Android SDK tools" was the solution although that was not straight forward and required a little tweak. It required to first update the ADT.
Once the ADT was updated, I reloaded the "Android SDK Manager".
Now, there was no Tools preview channel listed as installed in Android SDK Manager and reloading the Manager asked for either to install "Tools" OR "Tools(Preview Channel)".
I did the install for "Tools" and it worked.
Meanwhile, the link helpful to sort out the problem was -
Update Android SDK Tool to the latest version.
During process, it was giving timed out error and there was no direct update allowed.
So, as mentioned in the linked post, I first updated the ADT to the latest and then I
installed the "SDK Tools" for the recently updated ADT.
Then once I get the recent "SDK Tools", it was all set.
Since it was the new install of ADT, so there was no "Tools (Preview Channel)" already installed as was before. However, it is now your choice what Tool you want to install. I installed "Tools".
Then I reloaded the "Android SDK Manager" and API 19 appeared.
I had the same issue and fixed it by clicking "Packages -> Reload".
While I am trying to Install API 18 it shows only "Google API 18"(nothing more). Now if I try to install these google APIs from Android SDK Manager it shows a message "this package depends on "Missing SDK platform Android, API 18". and Install button is disabled.
Does anybody here have Any idea how to install API 18(4.3_MR2 sdk) with eclipse
Have you installed SDK platform tool version 18? In your SDK Manager, there will be the latest version of SDK Platform tools that you have to install first then restart eclipse and then try for Android SDK API 18
Do this first:
Eclipse > Window > Android SDK Manager > Packages > Reload
Then retry installing
Another way of fixing it:
0) install other packages WITHOUT selecting API 18,
1) restart the Eclipse ADT,
2) Open SDK manager, then API 18 rev 1 shall appear.
Late to the game, same issue. Neither the SDK Tools not the SDK Platform tools showed up for me. This was a 4-step process:
Eclipse/Help/Check for Updates, installed everything that was found, restarted Eclipse
Eclipse/Window/Android SDK Manager - installed Android Support Repository (thanks, BurDog). Closed SDK Manager.
Eclipse/Window/Android SDK Manager - now the Android SDK Tools (Rev 22) showed up at the top, installed. Closed SDK Manager
Now the Android SDK Platform Tools showed up in the API 18 section - installed. Restart Eclipse (or API 18 will not be available everywhere).
Finally good to go to build a new version.
I had the same situation. For me worked updating ADT Plugin to version 22.0.5, closing Eclipse. Then - Eclipse > Window > Android SDK Manager > Packages > Reload.
Hopefully this will help somebody.
Had the same problem. Message was:
package google apis android api 18 revision 1 depends on missing sdk platform android api 18
I solved it like the following steps:
Eclipse -> Help -> Check for Updates (then click on "ok" when asked - do you want to install it - click on "ok" / "yes" to restart eclipse to finish the installation)
Window -> Android SDK Manager -> Deselect all (then scroll down to Extras and Select only Android Support Respository, when not installed, install it)
Window -> Android SDK Manager -> Install xx packages
worked fine for me.
This is how I fixed mine:
Under "Manifest Cache", click on "Clear Cache"
Go to "Packages" and click on "Reload"
Check Tools --> Android SDK Platform-tools
Install just this package
Restart SDK Manager
Eclipse > Window > Android SDK Manager > Packages > Reload
This worked for me. Thanks! Now I can update to 18. I'm new here and tried to vote up Jaguar's post, but I can't.
Seemed kind of klukey, I had similar issues. I finally got passed the api 18 msg when I updated the sdk tools to 22 which then prompted another error that the tools were degraded on reload. I opened sdk mgr again and had a 22.3 and platform tools to rev19 and some other tool choices available. I did yet another update to them along with the API19 and API 18 and it seems like it is moving along now. I think maybe for API 18+ you must update the SDK tools to 22.3 at this point.
Btw, I also got a file lock during part of the process and closing eclipse in the background and hitting retry fixed.
dang.. next it is saying that the ADT must be version 22.0+..
I updated the ADT to 22.3 by using the eclipse/help/install new software (Trying update simply said it was up to date)... one unsigned content error..
Restarted ADT after update.. seems to be working from what I can tell so far.
I´ve solved with this:
Open Android SDK Manager -> Packages -> Reload
Restart Android SDK Manager
Install the "missing" packages (now visible)
I had this problem on my Mac and Windows development machines. The only solution is to reinstall the latest version of the Android SDK. Google really dropped the ball on this.
I had a similar issue as you (purely from problem description), but my Android SDK Platform-tools WAS already installed (16.0.2). All the other packages didn't recognize it, however. I ended up uninstalling the platform tools, and then reinstalling. Then everything else recognized it.
Found from a different website
The steps to resolve this issue:
Open SDK Manager
Go to Tools -> Options
Under "Manifest Cache", click on "Clear Cache"
Then go to "Packages" and click on "Reload"
I am on MAC, I faced the same question. I couldn't find SDK Platform in API 18. The solution to solve it on mac is install the SDK TOOLS first, then restart the sdk manager and then I found the SDK Platform in API 18.
I was having the same problem, but with API19. I installed the following individually, closing Android SDK Manager after each install (thanks cdoner):
Android SDK Tools 22.3
Android Support Repository 3
And then I was able to install API19 with it no longer throwing the error.
("This package depends on 'Missing SDK Platform Android, API19')
I decided to get back into coding after 15+ years and am completely new to Java and Android having only read the book, Head Start Java. Thank you for the easy to follow steps, especially for someone new.
I could not install new SDK from Eclipse (Help -> Install New Software / Check For Updates), it complained the new version is already installed. However, the new SDK did not show up in the SDK manager.
I solved it by installing the new SDK version through command line: android update sdk --no-ui
Afterwards it was possible to update the google APIs and other tools via the SDK manager.
clearing cache solved problem for me. (Tools >option)
I had this problem with API 19. The key for me to use the Android SDK Manager starting in eclipse. Then, the advice above worked to fix the issue.
Background: Because of other command line stuff I was doing, I was starting the SDK Manager by typing "android" at the prompt. - which is what the error I was getting said to do.
it needs minimum sdk and maximum sdk packages.
you just only installed the maximum sdk ie.,API18
3.it also depends on other sdk packages for minimum
My solution to Missing SDK platform Android, API 26 ( It should work for API 18 as well)
Update SDK Tools
Restart SDK Manager and Eclipse
Install SDK Platform API 26, which is now visible
Install the other API 26 packages
If you're using the deprecated version of sdk manager like version r24.xx, then you need to first update the platform tools from sdk installation menu, before installing anything. You may have to do this several times (as long as the update notification shows up)
