Android SDK manager won't open
(29 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have CD'd into my android tools directory in the terminal. I tried typing 'android' and hitting enter and I also tried typing 'android sdk' and hitting enter but the sdk manager would not come up.
Any solutions or advice to help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
From outside the tools directory (obviously, you need to change to suit your path taste):
$ sudo /opt/android-sdk-macosx/tools/android
From within the tools directory (note the leading dot and slash):
$ cd /opt/android-sdk-macosx/tools/
$ sudo ./android
Related: you should have both ANDROID_SDK_ROOT and ANDROID_NDK_ROOT set in your environment. ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is used by the (now deprecated) ddms program. ANDROID_NDK_ROOT is used by various NDK tools. See Recommended NDK Directory? on the Android NDK user list.

I set the android_sdk_home variable so that my application could find .android when trying to run. Now I get an error stating that "android_sdk_root is undefined".
I am running win 7 with a new installation of Android Studio, inside parallels on a macbook pro.
Thank you for your response. I checked the location and it is identified as the same location as the ANDROID_SDK_HOME environment path. It still says root is undefined. I created an ANDROID_SDK_ROOT enviroment path to the same location and it is still undefined.
This is how I did it on macOS:
vim ~/.bash_profile # macOS 10.14 Mojave and older
vim ~/.zshrc # macOS 10.15 Catalina and newer (using zsh by default)
And added the following environment variables:
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/{{your user}}/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/Users/{{your user}}/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_AVD_HOME=/Users/{{your user}}/.android/avd
Android path might be different, if so change it accordingly. At last, to refresh the terminal to apply changes:
source ~/.bash_profile # macOS 10.14 Mojave and older
source ~/.zshrc # macOS 10.15 Catalina and newer (using zsh by default)
I received the same error after installing android studio and trying to run hello world. I think you need to use the SDK Manager inside Android Studio to install some things first.
Open up Android Studio, and click on the SDK Manager in the toolbar.
Now install the SDK tools you need.
Tools -> Android SDK Tools
Tools -> Android SDK Platform-tools
Tools -> Android SDK Build-tools (highest version)
For each Android release you are targeting, hit the appropriate Android X.X folder and select (at a minimum):
SDK Platform
A system image for the emulator, such as ARM EABI v7a System Image
The SDK Manager will run (this can take a while) and download and install the various SDKs.
Inside Android Studio, File->Project Structure will show you where your Android sdks are installed. As you can see mine is c:\users\Joe\AppData\Local\Android\sdk1.
If I navigate to C:\Users\Joe\AppData\Local\Android\sdk1\sources you can see the various Android SDKs installed there...
Open the terminal and run the command:
nano $HOME/.bashrc
aggregate the follow line:
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
Ctrl+o save and ctrl+x close.
And run the command:
source $HOME/.bashrc
echo $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
MAC - one liner
echo "export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk \
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=~/Library/Android/sdk \
export ANDROID_AVD_HOME=~/.android/avd" \
>> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile
android_sdk_root is a system variable which points to root folder of android sdk tools.
You probably get the error because the variable is not set.
To set it in Android Studio go to:
File -> project Structure into Project Structure
Left -> SDK Location
SDK location select Android SDK location
If you have installed android SDK please refer to this answer to find the path to it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15702396/3625900
In addition to the above answers, ANDROID_HOME, which also points to the SDK installation directory, is deprecated.
If you continue to use it, the following rules apply:
If ANDROID_HOME is defined and contains a valid SDK installation, its value is used instead of the value in ANDROID_SDK_ROOT.
If ANDROID_HOME is not defined, the value in ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is used.
If ANDROID_HOME is defined but does not exist or does not contain a valid SDK installation, the value in ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is used instead.
You need to make a system env variable with the name: ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
and it's value should be C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Sdk\tools\bin
worked for me
ANDROID_HOME
Deprecated (in Android Studio), use ANDROID_SDK_ROOT instead.
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
Installation directory of Android SDK package.
Example: C:\AndroidSDK or /usr/local/android-sdk/
ANDROID_NDK_ROOT
Installation directory of Android NDK package. (WITHOUT ANY SPACE)
Example: C:\AndroidNDK or /usr/local/android-ndk/
ANDROID_SDK_HOME
Location of SDK related data/user files.
Example: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\.android\ or ~/.android/
ANDROID_EMULATOR_HOME
Location of emulator-specific data files.
Example: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\.android\ or ~/.android/
ANDROID_AVD_HOME
Location of AVD-specific data files.
Example: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\.android\avd\ or ~/.android/avd/
JDK_HOME and JAVA_HOME
Installation directory of JDK (aka Java SDK) package.
Note: This is used to run Android Studio(and other Java-based applications). Actually when you run Android Studio, it checks for JDK_HOME then JAVA_HOME environment variables to use.
For macOS with zshrc:
ANDROID_HOME is depreciated, use ANDROID_SDK_ROOT instead
Ensure that Android Build Tools is installed. Check if it exists in your File Directory
Get the path to your SDK. Usually it is /Users/<USER>/Library/Android/sdk
Add ANDROID_SDK_ROOT as a path to your Environment variables:
echo 'export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/Users/<USER>/Library/Android/sdk' >> ~/.zshenv
Apply the changes with source ~/.zshrc
Check if it was saved by ...
... checking the specific environment variable echo $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
... checking the complete list of environment variables on your system env
You can apply this process to every environment variable beeing installed on your macOS system. It took me a while to comprehend it for myself
on Mac edit .bash_profile use code or vim
code ~/.bash_profile
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=~/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
In Android Studio 3.2.1 I got this error because I installed a new API(28) level emulator without installing that API SDK components. After I installed SDK platform and SDK platform tools for the API level 28 and updated Android Emulator the emulator started running.
Hope it may help someone.
This is how to change it :
Step 1 :
Open a Terminal / CMD As Administrator (Right-click on cmd and click "Run as Administrator")
Step 2:
type in " set ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=E:\Android\sdk\ " (type it without the quotes and replace "E:\Android\sdk" with your actual sdk file path location - Mine was : C:\Users\YOUR_ACCOUNT\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
step 3:
Press "Enter" and i noticed nothing happened
Step 4:
Build your app again and it should reflect your file path.
For me it doisplayed as :
Preparing Firebase on Android
Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=C:\Users\Kurt\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk (recommended setting)
ANDROID_HOME=C:\Users\Kurt\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk (DEPRECATED)
Subproject Path: CordovaLib
Subproject Path: app
I got that info from this site :
https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/variables#android_sdk_root
Check it out for more information
Have Fun!!
I followed this tutorial to set up my android environment variables I was on mac and I had all the required environmental variable setup and working already. but i was still getting this error that requires environment ANDROID_SDK_ROOT.
I already had an android SDK exported environment variable.
So, what I simply did is adding ANDROID_HOME to the path with the following commands:
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME
and it worked for me on macOS
on mac os
you can try
brew install gradle
A common mistake that people tend to make when setting the root is capitalization errors in the path, or accidental spacing. Hence, I would recommend you check that. If that does not solve it, then check if the folder you are linking to still exists, or was accidentally moved into the trash.
I have installed the Android SDK but I can't get the Adroid SDK manager to open.
I have looked everywhere on the internet and this is what I have already done which didn't help:
1. run sdk as administrator
2. adding a path pointing to the JDK in all of these forms :
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin;
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_21/bin;
none of them worked ..:-(
3.
Step #1: Open up a command prompt.
Step #2: Use the cd command to move to wherever you installed your Android SDK.
Step #3: Run tools\android.
after doing it I got an error message that said that :
ERROR: No suitable Java found. In order to properly use the Android Developer
Tools, you need a suitable version of Java installed on your system.
4. deleting 3 times the sdk and reinstalling it.
5. Deleting the .android folder from the user (C:/Users/[User Name]) directory
By the way I have Windows 7 , and I have downloaded the 64 -bits sdk.
I am so helpless.. I ll appreciate a lot a solution...

I had the same problem. Try to add an environment variable :
JAVA_HOME : "C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\".
It solves problem for me.
WRT Ubuntu 14.04:
You may not have java installed globally in your machine. My fix was to do:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
After was I able to run the SDK Manager.
I'm on mac, I think I've done everything right so far. following these instructions:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/adding-packages.html
it says to navigate to tools/ directory in terminal. Here are my steps.
Open terminal
cd Applications
result is: No such file or directory
path to my tools directory is as follows
Applications->adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130219 ->SDK -> tools
I tried putting my folder onto my desktop, both the tools folder, and my adt-bundle because I could change directory to my desktop, and when I enter ls to the terminal I see my tools folder, and my adt-bundle is there,
but the problem is when I try to enter
cd tools
or
cd adt-bundle(etc...)
it says that it is not a directory.
what do I do?
Go to this directory:
cd /adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030/sdk/tools
and run:
./android
I recently encountered this issue, and figured I'd post on this for clarification or for anyone still encountering it.
It seems you have to be at the root of the /adt-bundle-mac-VERSION/sdkdirectory in order to execute the "android" command.
I normally cd into the directory until I reach the location of the command, but in this case I encountered the same issue as the original poster.
You must use the tab key to the android command...
ie...
locate your installation /adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030/sdk hit TAB key /tools hit TAB key /android
instead of cd adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030/ cd/sdk cd/tools android
If done properly the SDK manager should launch for you.
Hope this helps anybody out there.
You can launch the SDK Manager by using the GUI:
Launch Android Studio
Create a new blank project
In the toolbar, look for the icon with tooltip "SDK Manager"
A lot of answers have been given here that you should go to /{path-to-your-android-sdk}/tools
and run ./android.
For me, this did not work. When I opened the android file located at my /{path-to-your-android-sdk}/tools directory with a text editor, it contained the following:
#!/bin/bash
echo The "android" command is no longer available.
echo For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
echo For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager
exit 1
So the right approach now, is as stated by #Shijil in his comment.
In the directory for your android sdk, you should use:
For SDK Manager:
cd tools
cd bin
./sdkmanager
For AVD Manager:
cd tools
cd bin
./avdmanager
NB For the last command in each of the options above, you will have to supply additional args depending on the operation you want to perform. An example arg that works for both is --list. Running the commands without any args will only display the possible args you could have passed.
Personally, I think using the GUI in android studio is easier. Especially for linux beginners.
Use cd /users/user/...your path.../android-sdk/tools
and then :
./android
Here is your "tools" directory for Android Studio in OS X El Captain(Yosemite also has the same path hopefully):
Users/user-name/Library/Android/sdk/tools
In the terminal, just type: Library/Android/sdk/tools
and hit enter. And you are in the tools folder.
Please note that user-name refers to the mac user
Better open terminal and type which android.
It will tell you the path where you have the package installed.
Then yeah, you just have to execute that path on the terminal.
Your android package might have been installed with Homebrew or others, so the path can be different.
Edit: typo
For me the directory was cd /Users/your_user_name/Library/Android/sdk/tools/
and after that the command was ./android list targets
I hope this can help
I need to do somethings that must be done from the command prompt of the android tool.
but every one says it's in the platform tools folder in the sdk path but which file is it?
that might help:
the contents of platform tools folder:
aapt.exe
adb.exe
aidl.exe
dexdump.exe
dx.bat
fastboot.exe
llvm-rs-cc.exe
source.properties
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
Did you mean android Adb command lin tool if so see this link
if you want to manage emulator from command line see these three link it will help you a lot
Android Emulator
Using the Android Emulator
Android Emulator on Linux
There is an android command, but it's not an executable - run the android.bat in the tools directory, and you should be able to make the changes you need. If you add the tools directory to your system path, you'll be able to run android from any directory when using the command line.
