Getting Android sdkmanager to run with Java 11

I am facing a problem while running Android sdkmanager with Java 11 (Not studio, only SDK tools). I don't want to install JDK 8 or something similar. Is there a way to fix this for Android sdkmanager with JDK 11?
I have gone through this answer and it doesn't offer command line fix for java 11. Any other workaround possible?

UPDATE: as explained in another answer, the sdkmanager from the new command line tool supports JDK 11+. The old sdkmanager has not received updates in years, so this workaround should not be necessary. Check #dmertins answer for links and more details.
If anyone is looking for a Linux fix on Java 11. I built this on top of previous answers
cd Android/tools
mkdir jaxb_lib

After the download finishes (make sure all files were downloaded OK), you have to edit sdkmanager and avdmanager scripts in the tools/bin directory. You can do this manually or automatically.
From Simon Ruggier answer (doesn't work on mac unless you use gnu-sed):
sed -ie 's%^CLASSPATH=.*%\0:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/*%' bin/sdkmanager bin/avdmanager
Or manually, scroll down to the CLASSPATH variable, and add the new jars we just downloaded like this:
CLASSPATH=$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/activation.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-impl.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-xjc.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-core.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-jxc.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-api.jar:<etc etc...DO NOT REMOVE THE OTHER JARS!...>

The sdkmanager that comes with the deprecated SDK Tools package doesn't support JDK 8 and is no longer receiving updates since september 2017. More information here and here.
The sdkmanager included in the new Command-Line Tools package supports JDK 11 and it can be downloaded from the Android Studio download page, in the Command line tools only section. There's no need to download any other files or to hack with the sdkmanager script, however you will need to update your PATH setting, e.g. on Linux: $ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin instead of $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin
Although deprecated, the old Tools package is still being installed with Android Studio 4.1.1 by default. This post explains why.

For those of you seeing this issue in Travis CI:
I was seeing this error while attempting to accept the license agreement for build tools 30.0.2, targeting Android 30, with Java 11 for a travis CI build.

Here's a more automated version of Emilio's answer (thanks!):

# Append jaxb_lib to the CLASSPATH in sdkmanager and avdmanager
sed -ie 's%^CLASSPATH=.*%\0:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/*%' bin/sdkmanager bin/avdmanager
The jar directory also doesn't belong under bin, so these instructions place it one level higher.

There is an issues according to previous answers, that you'd better to use more recent jaxb-impl jar such as 2.3.1 to avoid the reflection warning.
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sun/xml/bind/jaxb-impl/2.3.1/jaxb-impl-2.3.1.jar
Also if we put all jar files into ${APP_HOME}/lib and then append ${APP_HOME}/lib/* to CLASSPATH, the java will pick up all jar files.

If you are on Apple Silicon or don't have wget installed:
cd Android/sdk/tools # or Android/tools
mkdir jaxb_lib
curl https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/activation/activation/1.1.1/activation-1.1.1.jar -o jaxb_lib/activation.jar

# Add To CLASSPATH
sed -ie 's%^CLASSPATH=.*%\0:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/*%' bin/sdkmanager bin/avdmanager
# Add this manually on newline after CLASSPATH
CLASSPATH=$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/activation.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-impl.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-xjc.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-core.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-jxc.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-api.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/istack-commons-runtime.jar:$CLASSPATH

After trying Wang Qian's answer, I got Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: REFLECTION. This might because the versions of jaxb-impl and jaxb-core are not matching. Make sure you download the same version of these two libraries, such as 2.3.0.1.
After that, I got another exception: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/istack/FinalArrayList. I found out this is because we are missing another library: istack-commons-runtime. Download it and put it into the classpath as well.
So the full list of library dependencies that need to add to classpath specifically should be:
jaxb-api
jaxb-core
jaxb-impl
jaxb-jxc
jaxb-xjc
activation
istack-commons-runtime
After this, you should be able to run sdkmanager but with a warning of illegal reflective access. You can ignore it without any problems. If you are interested in it, have a quick search. You'll find lots of questions on Stack Overflow regarding this warning.

Using Java 12, these are the steps I followed to bypass this warning. Thanks to Wang Qian.
Navigate to the path where the android sdk is installed such as the following.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\tools\bin
Edit sdkmanager.bat with a text editor such as notepad.
Find the following lines at approximately line 70.
#rem Execute sdkmanager
"%JAVA_EXE%" %DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS% %JAVA_OPTS% %SDKMANAGER_OPTS% -classpath "%CLASSPATH%" com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli %CMD_LINE_ARGS%
Just above those lines, paste the following code.
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%APP_HOME%\mylib\jaxb-api.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%APP_HOME%\mylib\jaxb-core.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%APP_HOME%\mylib\jaxb-impl.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%APP_HOME%\mylib\jaxb-jxc.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%APP_HOME%\mylib\jaxb-xjc.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%APP_HOME%\mylib\activation.jar
Create a new folder called mylib in the tools folder of your android sdk installation.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\tools\mylib
Download the latest version of the following 6 jar files and place them in the mylib folder.
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/activation/activation/
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.glassfish.jaxb/jaxb-core
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.xml.bind/jaxb-impl
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.xml.bind/jaxb-xjc
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/glassfish/jaxb/jaxb-jxc/
Remove the versioning in the filenames to match the filenames set in the sdkmanager.bat file. You should now have the following files.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\tools\mylib\activation.jar
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\tools\mylib\jaxb-api.jar
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\tools\mylib\jaxb-core.jar
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\tools\mylib\jaxb-impl.jar
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\tools\mylib\jaxb-jxc.jar
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\tools\mylib\jaxb-xjc.jar
All set! Now run your sdkmanager --update command
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\sdk\tools\bin\sdkmanager --update

If you're on macOS using the android-sdk formula from Homebrew, it's discontinued and only supports Java 8. Quoting its formula page:
android-sdk requires Java 8. You can install it with:
brew install --cask homebrew/cask-versions/temurin8
android-sdk has been officially discontinued upstream. It may stop
working correctly (or at all) in recent versions of macOS.
For Java 11 and newer, you can install the android-commandlinetools formula.
brew install android-commandlinetools
Don't forget to set the ANDROID_HOME variable pointing to your "new" Android SDK directory:
export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/share/android-commandlinetools

Bitbucket-Pipelines android build setup fails

After struggling for a couple of hours I was able to setup my docker container. My yml file is as below:

I think it's because you are using the gms libs, but not include google maven repo to your gradle script.
Google has published their own repo(https://developer.android.com/studio/build/dependencies.html#google-maven),you can add it to your project.
Please kindly check your build.gradle and add
google() (if you are using android gradle plugin 3.0) or
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
into
allprojects {
repositories {
...
}
}
section.
BTW in most cases a tiny android sdk docker is enough for CI pipeline, maybe you can try https://hub.docker.com/r/zhywang/android-sdk/ , it's just ~700MB, takes much less time to download.

CircleCI "Some errors occurred while attempting to infer information about your code"

I'm trying to build an Android project using CircleCI, but every time I run a build, the build completes in the Configure Build task and I get this message:
Some errors occurred while attempting to infer information about your code.
Also, when this occurs, CircleCI automatically tries to rebuild the branch, causing a loop, because every new build keeps failing.
Here's my circle.yml file
version: 1
machine:
java:
version: oraclejdk8
environment:
# Java options
JAVA_OPTS: "-Xms512m -Xmx2048m"

- cp -r app/build/outputs/apk/ $CIRCLE_ARTIFACTS
# Copy the test results to Circle-CI Artifacts
- cp -r app/build/outputs/androidTest-results/* $CIRCLE_TEST_REPORTS

Solved the problem by following this circle.yml example
In 1, after the test tag there's an override tag, but in my circle.yml file there's a pre tag. Removing that pre tag solved the problem.

You need to update the build tools to the version 22.X, I have tried in my project configuration and that works.

Update: VM images already include fixed android-wait-for-emulator script and android SDK tools version 24.0.0 by default solving issues I commented.
Solution - issue 1: Appcompat v21.0.2
I suggest you try to update platform-tools before tools.
Tools 23.0.5 requires platform-tools 19+, so i don't think you are updating it.
And appcompat-v7:21.0.2 requires last android-m2repository that requires tools 23.0.5.
Update: If I'm right about the issue2, you are using their pre-installed SDK, so you are updating tools correctly because they preinstalled platform-tools v20 but if you solve issue2, your problem will be issue1. I'm not sure about issue 2 because you use language:java, I use language:android. Check the path and search their SDK tools echo $PATH.
Alternative: If I'm wrong and your problems persist. I see you include a library that could depen on android-support-v4 and appcompat-v7.
Check dependencies conflicts.
- ./gradlew androidDependencies
- ./gradlew -q :Firext:dependencies
- ./gradlew -q :Firext:dependencyInsight --dependency support-v4 --configuration compile
- ./gradlew -q :Firext:dependencyInsight --dependency appcompat-v7 --configuration compile
You need version 21.0.2 from android.m2repository, you can try to exclude them.
compile files('libs/com.mobandme.ada_v2.4.4.jar') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support'
}
Solution - issue 2: Builds-tools aapt not found
I read in your log that build-tools/aapt is not found. You are adding ANDROID_HOME to the end of PATH, but Travis-ci already did first, so you are using their tools/android at usr/local/android-sdk-23.0.2 that includes build-tools v20.0.0 no 21.1.1.
As you are using docker and you can not update tools to 23.0.5 there due to another issue, you can use my work around so you save already installed platforms and system-images and can use old tools/android to update to 23.0.5. You don't need download it using wget:
- echo "WARNING! delete when fixed"; export OLD_SDK=/usr/local/android-sdk-23.0.2
- cp -R ${OLD_SDK}/tools ${SDK}/tools || echo "SDK tools copy failed."
- cp -R ${OLD_SDK}/platforms ${SDK}/platforms || echo "SDK platforms copy failed."
- cp -R ${OLD_SDK}/system-images ${SDK}/system-images || echo "SDK system-images copy failed."
or wait they update VM images soon
or change the order, so you use your SDK:
- export ANDROID_HOME=${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/android-sdk-linux
- export PATH=${ANDROID_HOME}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools:${PATH}
Suggestion:
you don't need download build-tools using wget.
