SDK Manager cant download the APIs and Addons? - android

Today I set in my new working Environment and I have to install eclipse. I downloaded the ADT, and when I tried to download eclipse Plug-Ins from the link http:// it did not work because of Connection issues. I coped this Problem by downloading the Plug-Ins as a zip file and I added it.
Now, when I open eclipse and click on the SDK Manager to download the new APIs and the other stuff, I receive the below posted Screen shot. Is there any other way to install it?

It seems you are connecting to the internet through a firewall or proxy server. check this out and it should work. Also when you try to open the SDK manager try to run it as an administrator. because some folders are somehow protected, and when the SDK tries to write into it, it faces acess problems. So it is better to run the SDK as an administrator.

Unable to Download Packages via Android SDK Manager

I have recently installed Android SDK on my computer running Windows 7 x64.
I then installed the Eclipse ADT plugin. I am running Eclipse Juno JEE.
When I attempt to run the SDK Manager through Eclipse, I receive the following errors:
Nothing I have tried has allowed me to download/install/update Android SDK and its packages.
I have tried https and forcing http
I have tried running calling program as administrator.
I have added Eclipse, SDK Manager to Firewall exceptions.
I have turned off my antivirus.
I have turned off my firewall.
I have tried various combinations of the above.
I can navigate my browser to both URLs (using Firefox). That should negate "Failed to read..." options 1 and 2. Option 3 seems to be the likely candidate as the XML files do not, in fact, include the <'xsd:schema'> tag. However, I don't know how, if, or where I might be able to point SDK Manager to a local, modified copy of these XML files, or if that would even solve anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I have installed Android SDK/ Eclipse ADT Plugin on the same machine in the past. This is a fresh install after a recent reimage.
I am not sure if this answer's your question exactly to the point but yet I hope this helps you.
As u wrote it looks like you have downloaded eclipse from its website and android sdk separately from Android website. Why don't you download the Android SDK ADT package with pre-eclipse setup.
That will make your job way lot easier.
The file name would be something like this:
adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729.zip

Android SDK Manager not showing any packages to install

I'm having a problem in the Android SDK Manager in which it doesn't show that I have any packages available to install:
When I first installed the SDK, the only line I saw there was the Android SDK Tools. I was able to add the Platform-Tools and Android 4.2 package my copying and pasting from the Android ADT bundle that I downloaded separately.
The log is showing no issues:
Fetching https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-2.xml
Fetched Add-ons List successfully
Fetching URL: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-7.xml
Done loading packages.
And I can see available packages when I open up the XML the package URL returns.
Things I've tried:
1. Messing with the proxy in Tools > Options. I've tried both 127.0.0.1 and blank.
2. Opening the SDK Manager from Eclipse and directly (regular and as Administrator)
3. Uninstalling and re-installing the Android SDK. Downloading the latest versions of everything.
My system:
Windows 7 x64
Eclipse 4.2.1 Juno
SDK Manager 21.1
ADT 21.1
Any ideas? I suppose I could download the files by pulling URLs directly from the XML, but that isn't ideal.
Edit:
Since I can pull the repository-7.xml file using a browser, this doesn't look like a Firewall/AV/Network setup issue. It's a matter of the SDK Manager not loading up the package information it pulls back through the XML.
I got the same problem. For me the solution was putting a check on the "Force https://... sources to be fetched using http://..." box. It's on Android SDK Manager's preferences screen, below the proxy settings.
Also if this doesn't solve your problem, instead of downloading SDK again, I suggest you to download the Adt Bundle
So I was finally able to see all of the available packages. I accidentally hit the SDK Manager icon in Eclipse instead of the AVD Manager I meant to press:
And all of the available packages showed up.
Also, now when I open the SDK Manager using any of the other methods (directly from SDK directory or using the Window > Android SDK Manager menu option in Eclipse) all of those missing packages are now showing up.
i had the same problem.
and nothing works for me, nor clearing cache, nor restart eclipse, nor running sdk manager from eclipse, nor forcing https (from sdk manager options)
but every thing works fine when i used proxy!!
sdk manager-> tools-> options -> http proxy server
I know that I'm kind of late to the party, But I wanted to share my experience with this issue.
It turned out that the underlying Logger module used was the SL4J Android edition. Because I had overridden the version (using an external JAR file) that the SDK Manager used, a lot of things went wrong when it tried to load the Logger class. I discovered this when i tried to run
android-sdk\tools\android.bat update sdk --no-ui
which showed me an exception thrown by the ClassLoader of the logger module. Removing every trace I had of the SL4J modules in my %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\ext folder solved ALL of my problems.
I know this is old, but just wanted to add for posterity. I had this same problem and it turns out I had previously ran the SDK Manager as root (Ubuntu Linux). My user account didn't have permissions to overwrite the files and update the list. Once I corrected the permissions, it ran fine.
On Windows, if you are running the SDK Manager directly from ~Android\android-sdk directory, just right click and Run as administrator. That did the trick for me anyway.
Are you opening the Adroid SDK when you unzipped the folder downloaded?. Becouse i had a problem like you, and the solution was that i am taking a wrong folder path.
What i did:
Downloaded again the sdk and put it in C:/ (Another Path)
Check in this path if i get the same result.
install the new tools and android version from the new path.
becouse i see that u have your folder in C:/ProgramFile/Android......... and i have in this path only that i have installed.
Open Android SDKManager->Android SDK->SDK Update Site
Click on Launch Standalone Android SDK Manager you will see the packages.
On SDK manager go to tools -> options and select force https checkbox; now you should see all

installing the ADT plugin behind an authenticated HTTP proxy

I am trying to get the Android ADT pluging on a 64 bit eclipse indigo installation on a windows 7 home premium machine. My system is situated behind an authenticated http proxy.
I tried setting the http & https (not SOCKS because that caused other errors) which basically downloads the list of packags under ADT but is unable to download the packages (gets stuck around 35% every time).
Making changes in eclipse.ini as suggested on some forums causes eclipse to not even download the list of packages.
The problem is eclipse doesnt want to download somee of the files though it manages to get a few of them (though never enough to install a complete package)
I have proxy settings set in 1)primary browser- Firefox 2)Internet Options in Control panel 3)eclipse
You can download the ADT plugins as an archive and install that locally. For detailed instructions, see http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html#Troubleshooting
open the link mentioned by E-Riz and
download the zip file and open eclipse and add new software - add- archive(locate to the place where u downloaded) this would help u install the plugin

Google API is not showing in Android SDK Manager in Ubuntu

I have Android SDK Manager Revision 20.0. I have Ubuntu 12.04. I am in my office and there is a proxy configuration URL linked to a ".pac" file through which Internet is connected.
In Android SDK Manager, only Android SDK Tools is showing as "Installed" and no other packages or APIs are shown. I have tried to reload it many times but it's not coming.
I have downloaded the ".pac" file and updated the proxy in Android SDK Manager and tried with that. Also with "Forcing 'https://' to 'http://'. But nothing is working.
Please suggest me what to do.
A proxy is usually not so difficult to use, you just have to set an IP/URL and a port.
You can set a proxy for your android sdk manager in
Tools > Options
or just download the SDK components separately .
Ok. Problem solved. I went to .android/androidtools.cfg file and updated the Proxy port and Proxy Address manually. It cant be modified properly in Tools->Options . So, it's convenient.

Not able to add android platform using AVD manager - not able to fetch the url from AVD

I wanted to start working on android but having installation issues. When I start the AVD Manager and check the repository.xml url it gives me an error "... not able to fetch the url. Connection timeout." the same thing happens if I use http or https but if i try to open the url in my browser, it returns the response. I do not have a manual proxy set in the browser but do have an automatic proxy configuration url. I tried copying that url to the internet section in AVD but still no response returned. Also, we do not have the permission to turn off the firewall.
Is there a place where i can download the SDK Platform Android (1.6 preferred)?
if you look in the folder where you have the sdk installed, you will see both the avd manager and the sdk manager. click on the sdk manager and you will be able to install additional platforms from there. Still not showing up in my AVD manager, but Android 4.0 is downloading so i no longer care :)

I've been working on the android developer "quick start" for about a week. This problem has not been solved or at least not explained anywhere. It's been happening for a couple of years now. 2008 is the first record of a problem. All suggestions have failed. "change 'https' to 'http'" etc.

I came across this with a similar answer.
I used the installer, and it didn't install the AVD manager. Going back to the developer files I grabbed the 'rar' and ran the 'adk manager' to get the files I needed. This installed the files to set the target when creating the AVD.
Worked for me.
