When I try to open up the SDK Manager in eclipse it says opening shortly, but never opens. I've tried to open the exe file but it displays an error message saying:
Failed to execute tools\android:bat the system cannot find the file specified
My path environment variable leads it to the tools folder.
This is the path:
C:\Users\Shan\Documents\Computer Science - YEAR 2\Android App Development\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130917\sdk\tools
In my case the Tools directory just disappear.
..\sdk\tools
To solve it:
1) Just go to SDK zip -> adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030.zip
2) Unzip the Tools Directory only.
3) copy it under ../sdk/
I had a similar problem today. Press the Windows button and Search for android.bat(in the search programs and files text field)
Then copy the file to your android SDK folder (C:\Users\Shan\Documents\Computer Science - YEAR 2\Android App Development\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130917\sdk\tools\).
After that don't run SDK manager but run the android.bat file.
Hope this helps

I had to move the AVD manager from /sdk/tools/lib to the root folder /sdk
Copy the AVD Manager.exe and SDK Manager.exe from
SDK_ROOT_FOLDER/tools/lib/
into
SDK_ROOT_FOLDER
I've been working with this problem for three days and finally was able to run SDK Manager by
==> Running the android.bat file as administrator
Note: I did not have to make any changes to the .bat file (such as setting the java_exe path) in order for the manager to run.
I saw this as a comment on the top answer but can't upvote yet, so confirming it here!
I cancelled an update to Android Tools and it seems there's a bug with unzipping the old (or new?) version back into {android_sdk}/tools. The zip is located in {android_sdk}/temp. Just unzip it into the right location and it should work again.
If the accepted answer doesn't help anyone, it also might be a permission issue (if the SDK is installed in Program Files (x86), for example, so try running android.bat as Administrator,
I had the same issue when updating the Android SDK Tools and SDK Platform-tools from the SDK Manager. I had to replace the tools folder with one located in a zip folder inside the temp folder.
In My case, While I installed visual studio 2015, The SDK files were missed and I am getting an error window shown below.
So I manually downloaded the tools from the following URL.
tools_r24.0.2-windows
Then extract the zip file and copy the tools folder in the following location.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
It worked for me.
I think current Android SDK only works with JDK x86 version. I search so much but when installed JDK x86 version Android SDK manager worked without problem.
Copy your android.bat file to C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\tools folder or copy all files to C:\.
If you are seeing this error, it may be an issue with your COMSPEC environment variable.
Please see https://stackoverflow.com/a/27284746/3866013 for more details.
I had the same problem. Caused it myself because while runing Android SDK Manager i hit UNINSTALL SDK Tools.
I fixed the issue by running the installation of the Android SDK again. The installation folder had to be the same as previously. After the installation, everything was back again as it was.
This is how I solved the problem on Windows 7:
I was going to update the SDK using Android SDK Manager but android.bat was not found because previously it uninstall the older one and then installs new. In my case my SDK Update was interrupted i.e. in other words, could not install after the SDK Manager uninstalled the tools, so my machine was not able to find android.bat. What I did was just downloaded the standalone SDK tools to the same folder where my SDK were from :
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
Here are two options for downloading the Android SDK for Windows users. One in recommended option and the other is .zip file. Zip file worked well.
Another option may also work. Try searching android.bat with windows search engine. If you find the one, copy it and paste in SDK tools folder.
open Sdk Manager.exe, then i deleted first Android Sdk tools, so, I also appeared such a mistake, then I downloaded installer_r24.3.2-windows.exe, installing, copy C:\Users\Super Man\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools folder to my Sdk path,run My Sdk Path\android.bat ,ok!!
I did the following :
I created a folder SDK right below my C-drive
I unzipped tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip to C:\SDK
I moved SDK Manager.exe from C:\SDK\tools\lib to C:\SDK
I first ran SDK Manager.exe in 'normal mode',but this gave me the error, but when I ran SDK Manager.exe as ADMINISTRATOR it didn't return the error.
The reg command exists but for unknown reason my path variable was corrupted during some installation.
So some basic element were missing:
C:\WINDOWS\system32;
C:\WINDOWS;
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem

I have installed Android Studio for the millionth time but when i go to C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio , i can't find any folder named "SDK" , can't find it any where on the computer either.
Also, the SDK manager doesn't open, which i guess is a problem linked to the first one.
If you have downloaded the AS + SDK bundle:
Assuming the defaults were left unchanged, you will find the SDK in
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android
If it is missing at this location, one of the following reasons apply: you have chosen a custom location, you missed to install the SDK at all, or (unlikely) they have changed the default install location.
Note #1: the AppData directory is hidden by default. If you have a standard Windows configuration, the C:\ path above should work "as is" (hit Win + R -> paste the path -> Enter).
Note #2: you will never find the SDK in the Android Studio directory unless you have explicitly put it in there. The reason is that those directories might be deleted after installing a newer version of Android Studio and you would have to re-install the SDK as well.
If you have retrieved the standalone SDK by some other means:
The SDK location may vary (from my experience), however (assuming the default configuration) you will most likely find it in C:\Program Files\Android or C:\Users\%USERNAME%
Tools > Android > SDK Manager > there you'll see the path to SDK
If you don't have it at C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android (this is where most people have it) than it is possible you don't have it installed. Go to Tools > Android > SDK Manager and then click on "Android SDK." On the top of the SDK Manager it will list the SDK Location. Click edit. If you don't have Android SDK installed, it will give you the option to install it in certain location. Install it, and Android Studio should work!
SDK folder by defalut is in C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Local\Android. And the AppData folder is hidden in windows. Enable show hidden files in folder option, and give a look inside that.
Make sure all the folders are visible.
click start>control panel>Appearance and Personalization>Show hidden files and folders then click "Show hidden files, folders and drives"
The file should be in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android as mentioned above. otherwise you can check by opening Android SDK Manager - top left under SDK path.
If SDK folder is present in system, one can find in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android
If Android/SDK folder is not found
Once done with downloading and installing Android Studio, you need to launch studio.
On launching Android studio for the first time, we get option to download further more components, in that we have SDK.
On downloading components one can find SDK under Appdata (C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android)
I had to open Android studio and go through the wizard. Android studio will install the SDK for you.
If your are using android studio go to file >> project structure on the left pane press on SDK location . you will find the path where your sdk is located
When you install the android studio just by downloading from https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html sometimes sdk folder will not get appear in C:\Users\home\AppData\Local\Android Location..
But to set the android studio we need to set the path for android on this location.
So simply
1) start the android setup.
2) follow the instruction and android studio will automatically download the sdk folder by itself. (it will show the window like "Downloading Components").
After completing that installation check the above path again.
sdk folder will get appear now.
I faced the same issue. And I am able to resolve it by uninstalling the previous version I had, and removing the Android studio projects and reinstalling it.
And then go to Settings-> Android Studio -> Click on edit, to specify studio location, it will recognize the requask you if you would like to download sdk,
So I was trying to root one of my old phones and process required Android SDK. When I searched Android SDK, all i could do was download and install Android Studio. Everything went fine and smooth, till I tried to look for SDK in installation. I could not find it under Android Studio installation. But after a little search on Google and Android Studio configuration on my computer, I was able to find it at
C:\Users\username\Android\sdk
I hope that helps.
C:\Users\*********\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Check whether the USERNAME is correct, for me a new USERNAME got created with my proxy extension.
I found it in /Users//Library/Android/sdk
For me it was :
C:\Users\{your-user-name}\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin
Hope it helps!
After installation if you get a message about Proxy, it means that you're probably behind a firewall. You can create a new Outgoing firewall rule to include it. Add this to Allow:
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio64.exe
It will then download required SDK components
Once that's done, SDK will be in:
C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
For anyone who really can't find the SDK, you can manually download it from android studio.
File => Settings => Appearance & Behavior => System Settings => Android SDK
If you do not have a SDK (or did not select the right folder), you will be asked to select the SDK version and the folder where the SDK will be installed.
This is how I fixed by SDK not found problem.
System: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, yet you can try these steps in accordance to your respective systems.
If there is an SDK file present, it should be most likely found at /home/USERNAME/Android/sdk
USERNAME is to be replaced by your username
If there is none, check the specified sdk path for the project in android studio.
File > Project Structure > sdk path
The sdk directory should be present in the specified path. In case, it is not there, open the file:
PROJECT_DIRECTORY/android/local.properties
PROJECT_DIRECTORY needs to be replaced by your project name.
If the file is not there, create it.
Then add the following line depending on where you find the sdk directory.
If sdk is there at /home/USERNAME/Android/:
add the line: sdk.dir = /home/tanya/Android/sdk
If sdk is not there at /home/USERNAME/Android/:
add the line: sdk.dir = /home/tanya/Android/
If the path specified for sdk directory in 'Project Structure' is entirely different and the sdk directory is present at the specified location,
add the line: sdk.dir = SPECIFIED_SDK_PATH
Add the specified sdk path in place of SPECIFIED_SDK_PATH
I installed the android studio today and I got a problem with the SDK manager:
I've followed this guide:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/adding-packages.html
When I install the -
ARM EABI v7a System Image
I get this error. I tried to disable the antivirus but its still doesn't work. Hope for answers, thanks.
I have similar problems at my company with installations, also with android-studio and sdk. Usually run as admin solves most of those issues.
Close Android Studio or Eclipse.
Open folder "C:\Users\YourPC\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools"
Run "android.bat" as Administrator.
Now you can fix it.
In eclipse close eclipse and run android sdk manager as administrator
I had same problem. The solutions that i have done is as follows :
The problem is with temp folder in android sdk folder. i have changed the folder name from temp to temp1.
Now it is working properly for me.
I hope it will work for you also...
Delete TOOLS folder.
in temp folder there might a zip that you have downloaded. unzip it and copy tools folder and paste it in android sdk home folder.
For eclipse - Close the Android SDK Manager
Then - go to the directory - named where android-sdk are saved by default, by default, in my PC, the location is C:\Users\username\android-sdks.
In this folder, look for a temp folder and tools folder - make copy of tools folder beforehand. In temp folder, you will find zip folder similar like tools_R25.zip (I donot remember the exact name, but look for similar name), open the folder, inside you see a folder named tools -- now
Unzip the content of the tools folder inside android-sdks/tools, and start android SDK Manager again as administrator.
I have ran into a curious error when trying to update Android SDK Tools to revision 21 from revision 20.0.3. The ADT plug-in updated properly so now I am at a stand still until resolved.
The initial error I got listed cmd.exe & java.exe as locking the directory, I forced closed cmd.exe and got this:
If I force close java.exe then obviously my SDK Manager closes.
SDK Manager Log:
This is my work computer so I'd really like to avoid any down-time resulting from a reboot, just curious if anyone has come across this issue and been able to resolve.
I have tried closing Eclispe and running SDK Manager from the file directory, same issue, I read that someone had experienced this while having the directory opened so I closed and still, same issue. Any help is appreciated.
Eclipse:
Version: 3.7.2
Build id: M20120208-0800
Update:
Fresh reboot did NOT resolve.
I resolved this by copying my \tools folder, naming the copy \toolsCopy. Then I ran android.bat from the \toolsCopy folder with Administrator privileges.
Running the SDK manager from \tools locked the renaming of the \tools directory, for obvious reasons. SMH
It work for me after long search
Close the sdk manager and eclipse.
Go to the folder where you have stored your adt.
In that adt folder you'll find a folder known as tools.
Make a copy of the contents of that folder and paste it in a folder called copytools.
Now go to the command prompt and go to the location of the copytools.
Then execute the command android.bat the sdk manager will start.
Now update all the plugins you want. It'll update your original folder.
After the update delete the copy.
I got mine working by going into the android-sdk\temp folder and extracting the tools_r22.3-windows.zip and renaming the current tools folder to tools123 and moved the extracted tools folder to \android-sdk\
Close command line & explorer (whatever is blocking java.exe)
Cut all files & folders from temp folder (android-sdk\temp)
Paste it to some other folder say (temp_old)
Run cmd.exe (Run as administrator) and start the process again.
If still it doesn't work, manually copy tools directory to temp folder & check.
IF USING ANDROID BUNDLE
close the SDK manager and eclipse. From the SDK folder in bundle goto tools. Copy all files of the tools folder to another folder named toolscopy. Now in cmd navigate to SDK folder then to toolscopy and execute "android.bat". Now the SDK manager will execute and you can update all your updates.
you can delete the toolscopy folder as the tools folder will automatically get updatesd :D
Close eclipse and try again it will work.. (After closing eclipse Android SDK Manager window will not close)
or,
Just go to task manager and end the eclipse process and try again it will work..
I solved it in a very simple way, worked well for me.
close eclipse.exe
go to your directory containing android-sdks
run SDK Manager.exe
install required packages
close sdk Manager.exe
Start eclipse and you are almost there
update your ADT plugins by visiting Help menu in eclipse and then Check for Updates
in case if it doesn't (which it didn't in my case remove the old versions of plugins manually) work and install them again from https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Steps to Resolve that
Close the Eclipse
2.Run the SDK Manager
3.Now update the packages
It works for me
I got the same problem. Then go to temp folder extract "tools_r24.0.2-windows.zip" copy "tools" folder from extracted folder and then paste it inside "sdk" folder.(or override on tools folder) :)
100 % working...
close eclipse.exe
go to your directory containing android-sdks
run SDK Manager.exe
install required packages
close sdk Manager.exe
Start eclipse and you are almost there
update your ADT plugins by visiting Help menu in eclipse and then Check for Updates
Restart your computer.
If you install SDK with eclipse in execution this error will go occur. For you resolve this problem, you should have stop the eclipse application.
I solved this using "unlocker" by emptyloop to unlock the directory without having to kill java.exe using the task manager.
First, I know this problem has been asked before, namely : Could not find adb.exe on my tools folder
but I tried every answer given and none work (even the accepted answer).
My problem is that I updated the Android SDK and now Eclipse cannot find adb.exe. I know where it is, it is in platform-tools directory, but I can't get Eclipse to read it from there. I updated the path.
Now what has happened is, in all my projects the asset folder is empty, meaning there is no android jar file.
Also, clicking on the SDK update manager from inside eclipse does nothing. I have no idea why.
Lastly, if I try to install new software in Eclipse (ADT update?) it wont allow it.
In the project -> preferences tab I get the following message:
Could not find C:\Program
Files\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb.exe!
I'm working on Windows 7 with Galileo eclipse.
Can anyone offer any help?
The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/
If you don't see this directory in your SDK, launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool) and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"
I also faced the same problem before but now i solved the problem by following the step below
Step 1: You know where your android-sdk is installed in your system if you didnt changed the location search in ProgramFiles/Android
step 2: close eclipse.
Step 3: Copy adb.exe in android-sdk/platform-tools/ folder
Step 4: Paste that adb.exe in android-sdk/tools/ folder
Step 5: Now open eclipse go to Windows --> Preferences choose android then click browse and select android-sdk with in few minutes it shows APK levels installed in your system press Apply
Solution is simple. Unfortunately I forgot you need admin rights. That's why eclipse wouldn't install new packages. I simply opened Eclipse as the Admin and everything went smoothly. Lost all my R.java files for some reason, but got them back by cleaning the project(s).
I think that's because adb has moved to
C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe
I 've tried this once.. when i got similar problem on Windows 7 .. Copy adb.exe from platform-tools to tools folder. Now eclipse should work properly.
Yes on tools/adb_has_moved you can read:
"The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/ If you don't see this directory in your SDK, launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the
android tool) and install "Android SDK Platform-tools" Please also
update your PATH environment variable to include the platform-tools/
directory, so you can execute adb from any location."
the adb tool has moved to platform-tools/ but in my case no adb was in this dir but in windows 7 you can make backup of this folder (just go in folder properties->Previous version) and save backup instead of original. In my case it helps
I got the same problem. In my case it was caused by an upgrade on the Java JDK. I was using 1.6 and upgraded to 1.7.
Just manually add the new JDK to Eclipse.
Right click on your project JRE System Library. Select installed JRE, and then find it on your computer.
I'm trying to get 'hello world' working on the Android SDK with Eclipse. I'm following this tutorial step by step:
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html
but i'm returned the error "Error executing aapt. Please check aapt is present at C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\aapt.exe"
For some reason, the "platform-tools" folder does not exist under my installation. In its place I find "platforms" and "tools". Presumably, my SDK version is different to that used in the tutorial.
I can't work out what i need to change or update. Can someone please point me in the correct direction?
Thank you
Totally agree with izzy, but other times (usually on 64 bit OS machines or with multiple android platforms) when you install the latest SDK version the folder platform-tools had missing the "appt.exe".
To solve this you need to search on *android-sdk\build-tools* folder and subfolders like \build-tools\17.0.0 in my case, and you will find aapt.exe, other necesary files and lib folder, just copy it everything to android-sdk\platform-tools and it will be done.
sometimes you may get the error that it can not install because it can not create the temp folder to install the tools. You simply just need to run the SDK manager as administrator and this will allow it to all work out.
if we will face appt.exe issue (could not found) just Follow the below steps:
1. Just Read It(https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/aapt2)
Navigate to (ctrl+find and search) com.android.tools.build > then go to aapt2 from this url (https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/index.html)
Insert the version name you copied into the following URL and specify your
target operating system: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/aapt2/aapt2-version/aapt2-aapt2-version-[windows | linux | osx].jar
For example, to download version 3.2.0-alpha18-4804415 for Windows,
you would use: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/aapt2/3.2.0-alpha18-4804415/aapt2-3.2.0-alpha18-4804415-windows.jar
Extract the jar file, Change the name aapt2.exe to apt.exe
Copy and paste into your android-sdk -> platform-tools
Run the program, Issue will be get resolved
Note: Means you have to download and set the aapt.exe path in System Environment Variable
*What version of the SDK are you running? (1.5_r2 or something?)*
I would suggest updating your SDK and be done with it ;)
You can do so trough the "Android SDK and AVD Manager".
Eclipse:
menu->window->"Android SDK and AVD Manager"
You might also want to change this setting:
menu->window->preferences->install/update->(expand)->automatic updates
Run the Android SDK Manager and be sure that you have checked and installed Tools>Android SDK Platform-tools.
I believe this package is responsible for the folder in question here.
I just found aapt.exe file in my latest Android-SDK folder (Android_SDK\build-tools\28.0.3)
You can check your latest sdk build-tools folder
or
You can search on total Android SDK folder by file name
I was able to delete my version (28.0.3) and Android Studio reinstalled it. The directory location was
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools
