Develop Reference

System image folder in config.ini doesn't exist

Recently I installed Xamarin and the Android SDK in order to mess around with Android development. After spending all day fixing errors before writing a single line of code, this one has me stumped. I haven't found a solution anywhere on the internet.
I have installed the emulator and I have downloaded several system images. I have searched for this config.ini but didn't find which one the error seemed to be referencing. I can build the solution just fine but when I try to debug it just says "There were deployment errors", and in the output window just says "Error: cancelled."
Is there any way to solve this issue?
Thanks.

So I come across the same error message on my device manager. I solved it with following step:
Go to your ~\.android\avd. There should be a folder named
[YourDeviceName].avd. For my case it was Nexus_5X_API_28_x86.avd.
Inside the folder there should be a config.ini. Look for a property
named image.sysdir.1. Mine was image.sysdir.1=system-images\android-28\google_apis_playstore\x86\.
Make sure the your have properly downloaded such image in
%ANDROID_HOME%\system-images.
For me, it seems that I have installed Android SDK twice in two different locations with Android Studio & Visual Studio Xamarin installation, and they have messed up my device manager. So I uninstalled one and moved the images and it worked fine then. While this is probably a year too late for OP, I hope this could help someone in the future.

I just had the same issue.
You solve this problem like this:
Select the corresponding Android emulator device
Hit the Ellipsis character at the upper right corner of Android Device Manager
Select "Download system image" menu item
This will download the missing system images for your Android emulator.
Here are some screenshots, depicting the solution (they're in German):
I suspect Microsoft didn't add these because they're not courtesy of Google. You need to accept Google's license terms when downloading the images.

bluestacks stuck on loading channels

Bluestacks stuck up on loading channel with a circle in the middle...
so far I had uninstalled and re-installed bluestacks several times but ended with the same issue.
I am using fastest internet connection in my pc using LAN / Wifi.

i found the solution , it seems that blue stacks trying to connect to some kind of store and he couldn't, i fix it up by running an app called psiphone 3 , its a free vpn app , after u run it u will notice that nothing change and the loading page still appear just wait for 5 minutes and the store list will appear after this try to download any launcher u want , and then ur problem will be solved
sorry bad english.

I've got the same issue and it looked like that the application 'com.bluestacks.gamepophome' is missing or corrupt. You can check the log file 'C:\ProgramData\Bluestacks\GameManager.log'.
The solution I applied is to use a different Launcher. I used ADW Launcher as an replacement. The benefit is that I can use more of the default Android apps as well.

If you are facing constant issues while running Bluestacks i.e Bluestacks Loading Screen problem then there's no need to worry anymore you can easily fix the issue by trying the following steps :
1 - Install Latest Bluestacks App player and install all additional software's required by bluestacks for proper operation
2 - Give Users Account Full Control Access
For more details and step by step guide visit here :
http://www.rushinformation.com/bluestacks-loading-problem-screen-fix/

It was stuck and blinking for me. I resolved it by:
Go to Settings > Apps > All Apps
Select GamePopMain
Force Stop and Clear Data
And voila - it started working again

I had the same issue and what I figured is the GamePopMain is a launcher for BlueStacks. It has some issue in the Mac version for sure and on windows may have them as well. Install any other launcher and you will stop getting crashes and will be able to use it with out problems.

Eclipse Juno Install Dependencies (Offline Solution)

Good day guys
I have this kind of problem from my Eclipes Juno
I can't create a new android project because of this one
and i found several topics about this problem
but almost of the answers was pointing into two solutions
"Uninstall the support library from the Android SDK manager"
"have an internet connection and update online"
and i have two problems too...
first, i don't have internet connection in our home
Second, "i don't have it" (Support Library)
This is my android SDK
as you can see I have no Support Library so notting to uninstall
maybe you'll be confused "where did i get that platforms if as i said i have no internet connection in our home"
well i've manually downloaded all of it and manually extracted to my "plaform" directory....
i have encountered some errors before like this one
and luckly i was able to solve it using just manual downloading and extracting (a little workarounds)
but this one seems to be one of the hardest to me for now...
I keep browsing the web for finding such a "support library.zip" so that all i have to do is extract that one to its respective directory
and a step by step to where do i extract it... but sadly i found nothing...
i im thinking of some posible solutions
and maybe i need a help of a person who has a good running Eclipse Juno
make a request like " can you zip your support library folder from your SDK and upload it here"
and a simple "path" to what directory do i have to extract it.
whatever it maybe...
ill just trying every single workarounds just to solve it "offline"
i know online solution is less hassle and just a little clicks and problem solved,
but did you know how it happened?
do you know what eclipse or SDK did to solve that?
that's the reason why i want it offline just for me to understand every bit of it...
i want to solve it Offline...
Thank you in advance.....

you can go to download ADT-20.0.0.zip ,Install it and then restart Eclipse.
because Google is 2.2 and the earlier version to official library, support many 3.0 and higher version of the function, in the new construction time, the default will give you add libs folders and android - support - v4. Jar。
I also can be directly sent to you ADT-20.0.0.zip。please tell me your E-mail！

Installing the ADT Plugin for Eclipse

I am trying to install the ADT plugin for Eclipse. However, after I have went to "Install New Software..." and entered the plugin location https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/, "Pending..." is displayed. It does not change to "Developer Tools" no matter how long I wait. (I have also tried "http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/)
To get around this I tried downloading the current ADT Plugin zip file, but this does not work either. "Developer Tools" appears, but when I click "Next" it does not move past "Calculating requirements and dependencies."
Please provide a solution to the problem of either approach. Thanks.

I had the same problem. It started working when I unchecked the box labeled
"Contact all update sites during install to find required software".

Goto Preferences->Network Connections and set the correct option (native/direct as per your proxy settings on your network) restart eclipse and try again. [Switching to direct worked for me at home, however in office i had to configure it to native..] (Proxy settings require restart of eclipse IDE on some machines to take effect)
Ensure that your eclipse has all android toolkit dependencies (wst/emf...) installed (http://developer.android.com/resources/faq/troubleshooting.html#installeclipsecomponents)

Update
The logged error you provided leads to Install from updatesite hangs under Java 7 and in turn Eclipse Bug 362741 - downloads from update sites hang - (3.7.1 Indigo SR1 windows), see comment 6 specifically (you already applied comment 7).
Please note that while this seems to be a JDK 7 problem at first sight, the linked Java Bug 7077696 - java.net.Socket closes when "PASV" is sent on an authenticated FTP connection classifies the issue as a REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u26, while you are using 6u30 already. Accordingly, the issue is reported to be fixable by switching to Java 6 elsewhere (implying an earlier version), see e.g. Cannot do any software installs using jdk1.7.0_01 (which uses 6u22):
However, everything works right if I then change the eclipse.ini to
change the vm to JDK 1.6:
-vm C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_22\bin\javaw.exe
Oracle's Evaluation concludes, that This does not appear to be a JDK bug, rather it's just the Windows firewall recognizing and blocking the ftp protocol.:
The only
difference between JDK7 and older releases is that the JDK is using
IPv6 sockets when IPv6 is enabled and so IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses
are used. it may be that Windows or the firewall is not configured to
allow IPv6 sockets. [...]
Accordingly, they list a Workaround as well:
Run with -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
add a firewall exception for the Java binary.
run with -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true (which disables IPv6 and uses AF_INET sockets exclusively)
or disable stateful FTP inspection in the firewall (registry setting or netsh command)
The firewall adjustment seems to be a confirmed workaround as per comment #4 in Socket Exception only in Java 7 (though simply turning it off like there should be handled with care of course).
Good luck!
Presumably you are already aware of Robamaton's answer to Eclipse, Android Plug-in, Install New Software just says “pending” (there are many ADT related questions and strangely it didn't show up immediately in a respective search)? It basically comes down to Codejammer's hint towards Preferences->Network Connections (+1), though with an explanation why it might still fail on your network regardless, see the comments:
Oh, I read that it doesn't respond to general requests from browsers.
In any case, network admin confirms it's making a socks connection,
but then doing nothing further.
and
Ok, further to previous comment, it's probably trying to connect via.
socks 5 - but our network only has socks 4. Admin is going to run the
5 version to see if it then works.
Workaround
Regardless of whether the socks 4 vs. socks 5 proxy settings are actually the problem, a potential workaround might be to install Eclipse and ADT on a different system (ideally on a different network), and copy the resulting folder to yours thereafter (after all, an Eclipse installation is simply a collection of files).
When doing so, please ensure to match 32- vs. 64-bit regarding both the JDK and Eclipse between the source and the target system, because a mismatch would yield other problems (see e.g. my answer to Failed to load the JNI shared library on starting Eclipse).

What versions of eclipse are you using?
In Helios I was able to install the plugin by going to Help -> Eclipse MarketPlace -> Yoxos MarketPlace (Second Icon at the bottom) and search for ADT and install.

If you were unable to get network update working, please try downloading the ADT zip package and installing locally as the download page says.

I find these google sites very difficult to connect with from certain networks, but not from others.
Here in Germany, I had terrible trouble going through Alice, but none going through Deutsche Telekom.
Sometimes I could reach the dl-ssl host from Alice, but in some later operation it would hang then time out.
A day or so later, I might be able to make a connection again. Some people say they had luck going through a proxy, or by changing "http" to "https". I also saw this.
Here's what I think is going on.
First, Eclipse is miserably buggy, and handles unexpected situations very badly (for example, catching all exceptions, but failing to provide the exception's message!!), particularly when it comes to unresponsive links. It reminds me of the stock story of the mentally disturbed psychiatrist.
It looks as though the google server is badly configured, possibly as a naive protection mechanism meant to repel denial-of-service attacks: it only handles a few connection requests within a certain time frame from hosts certain networks, and if it gets too many requests, it locks out connections with the host for a long time.
Unfortunately, a single Eclipse update might require many connections in rapid succession; somebody unsure of how to configure Eclipse the first time will likely trip the Google booby-trap.
In my case, I was able to download what I needed by carefully choosing a subset of the available software, being very patient, and if I got locked out, just waiting a day until it let me in again.
Cheers!

I had the same problem and it was driving me nuts. I kept trying for a couple of hours--getting the same error message--and at once it worked! So if I were you I'd just leave it for a bit and come back in a couple of hours and try again. There are several other suggested solutions online that I found, but neither of those seemed to make a difference.

I've faced with the same problem before. In my case this was a problem that I was working under the proxy. I think you also work behind a proxy.
I've solved this problem in the following way. Find the SDKManager.exe and run it. In this program find proxy configuration and fill it there. Then from this program try to update your SDK (maybe this will require you to restart this program).
I do not know why but Eclipse proxy configuration is not working in case of Android ADT.
P.S. You have to use JDK 6 (or 5), not JDK 7!!!

Use Following link to update ADT Pligins.
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/site.xml

The only answer I found out when I got this problem was to download the latest 'Eclipse Indigo for Java', updating the ADT and android SDK.
After few hours, everything was normal.

Turning off IPv6 worked for me.

In my case I use proxy setting, and I follow the instruction of this post. But just one small modification: the SOCKETS setting should be clear and empty as suggested by here

Android SDK Manager repeatedly gets stuck while downloading [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Closed 10 years ago.

android SDK and AVD manager getting stuck
This is not the same as some of the other SDK Manager errors people have already posted on SO. Others have posted about permissions problems, and occasionally someone runs into some kind of database error.
In my case, the progress bar will just stop updating, and the whole thing will just sit there indefinitely, even overnight, without an error message. Oh, and it can't be canceled. There is no pattern to when this happens and when it doesn't. I have resorted to installing every single package individually, and even then it freezes about 50% of the time and I have to restart the manager process. It just froze just now while I was typing that sentence.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Edit: I just realized that on my old machine, I used to have to check the box that says "Force https:// sources to be fetched using http://," but on this machine I haven't been forced to do that yet. Maybe that has something to do with it.

After unchecking "Force https:// sources to be fetched using http://" in the Settings view, I was able to download a number of updates without problems. It was only 6 updates, but some of them were fairly large and the whole process took a couple hours.
So, I'm going to tentatively mark this as the answer, so it can be referred to by SO users in the future. But if anyone else has this problem, please do try my solution and post a comment here saying whether or not it worked.

Unchecking "Force https:// sources to be fetched using http://" also solved the problem for me.

The solution that worked for me:
I'm copying this answer from http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=21773
Steps:
stop and close sdk manager
go to the url http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/android/repository/repository.xml which was obtained from action log in sdk manager
<sdk:url>addon_samsung_GT_2.2_api-8_r01.zip</sdk:url> copy the zip file from the url field of xml doc (addon_samsung_GT_2.2_api-8_r01.zip) and replace repository.xml with the zip file name. The URL should be:
http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/android/repository/addon_samsung_GT_2.2_api-8_r01.zip
paste the url to your browser and download the file
copy the file to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\temp folder
start sdk manager and re-select galaxy tab api and select install, it won't try to download and start immediately unpacking the file.
I guess it would be the same for other failing apis, docs, etc..

I was having the same issue on my Windows 7 x64 box. To get things to work I booted my computer into Safe Mode with networking. In safe mode I was able to load eclipse and use the adk manager to install everything.
