Update Android SDK sources

I want to install the latest build tools using android package. On attempting to list the Android SDK packages:
$ android list sdk

It seems that I need to update the sources. How can I do that?

Bamboo Agent: failed to find Build Tools revision 23.0.3

I use a pool of Linux agents to build my app. Every now and then an agent causes a build failure with the error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':ComponentThatReqBuildToolsRev23.0.3:preBuild'.
> failed to find Build Tools revision 23.0.3
Because my build agents are remote (android is pre-installed /opt/android-sdk-linux/tools/android), I cannot preinstall the platform tools, build tools etc so have have a makefile included with my project. After checking out the code, it calls a method in the makefile:
#!/bin/bash
git submodule init
git submodule update
make updateSDK
# EOF
The method in the makefile is:
PACKAGES = "tools,platform-tools,build-tools-21.1.2,android-22,build-tools-23.0.3,android-21,extra-android-support,extra-android-m2repository,extra-google-m2repository,extra-google,google_play_services"
updateSDK:
(sleep 5 && while [ 1 ]; do sleep 1; echo y; done) \
| android --clear-cache update sdk --no-ui --all \
--filter $(PACKAGES)
In successful cases, the log from Bamboo shows:

But every now and then, it connects to the wrong repository, either:
Fetching URL: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/repository-8.xml
or
Fetching URL: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/repository-10.xml
It's identical to the above log except for the url. It gives this error:

In these cases, the xml file does not contain build tools 23.0.3, i.e. this bit:

I've tried clearing the cache on the agent pre-build, I've tried listing the tools each time, used http and https and to no avail.
Basically my question is, where does the android update sdk command get the repository-XX.xml url from? Can you force this to the latest version?

I'm trying to update the sdk via the command line using this command

and I'm getting this error

Please consider trying to update again without a package filter.
The problem is probably here

This is running on a CircleCI box, and it has been running fine for a few days until now.
Anyone has an idea of whats happening?
Thanks in advance

The XML in question was versioned 11. The latest appears to be 12, and our builds are back on track as well. For a moment, the Android team appears to have fooled us.
Try rebuilding, but also note that some DNS etc could result in you not getting your update right away.

Downloading android SDK on Ubuntu PC

I did run the below command according to the SDK Readme.txt placed inside the SDK:
$tools/android update sdk --no-ui
but I get the below errors :

If I try to do the same using Android-Studio->SDK Manager I get the same error in the message Box.
Is this due to the no proxy settings?

It does sound like a proxy or other networking issue. Try pinging that address with ping dl.google.com . You should get back something like:
PING dl.l.google.com (216.58.219.110) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from mia07s25-in-f14.1e100.net (216.58.219.110): icmp_req=1 ttl=47 time=35.2 ms
64 bytes from mia07s25-in-f14.1e100.net (216.58.219.110): icmp_req=2 ttl=47 time=29.2 ms
until you cancel the command with Control-C.

Android SDK ping has encountered

While starting on eclipse I am getting below message:
Android SDK ping has encountered a problem,
ping usageServer failed
OnClick on details:
pingUsageServer failed
Bad version: 22.0.5
I know this question is already posted, but I didn't find any relevant solution for this. I am using windows 8.
While running the SDK:

Finally I solved the issue by updating hosts file.C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc, in last line I updated 74.125.237.1 dl-ssl.google.com, and second thing I change the windows language Hindi to english.

It's mainly because when you have other languages installed in parallel to English.
For correcting this issue go to: control panel > language > Advance Settings. Set Override for Windows display language to English. Do the same for Override for default input method and then restart Eclipse.
