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 have installed Android Studio in the F:\ drive. My Flutter project is in the E:\ drive.
The Flutter plugin is installed in the Android Studio. But when I open my project in Android Studio and I go to the SDK Manager, it shows the following error:
The android sdk location cannot be at the filesystem root
Every package is disabled and the checkboxes are disabled, so I cannot click them to install Android SDK. The "Edit" link next to the error is not working either.
I came with the same problem because of forgetting "sudo"
Using the new android studio (bumble bee version) .
Restart the app and make sure you have an internet access
That will be enough to create the SDK and it’s directories
Just press Edit ( It is clickable) then download and install the required components.
Download the SDK first, and restore the default settings.
You can find the "Restore default settings" feature here.
What you can do is that you click on edit to surely you will get some version of Android that installs it by default and you click on next it will open another configuration verification window and you click on the next one for last it will tell you or It will update the version of android that was downloaded by default and you click again to finish and you can just select other versions of Android. That worked for me. Linux Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
Ready!!
For me it was the system language on Windows, I have changed it to English and it worked.
TL; DR
Make sure:
Your user has write permission into Android SDK directory.
ANDROID_HOME is correctly defined with the correct SDK location.
Description
IMHO it is a really bad practice install SDK into user home directory because:
Packages added will be restricted to a single user.
System administrators won't be able to mirror OS images, thus each engineer will have to install SDK manually.
The old school way is according to Linux directory hierarchy as described at The Linux Documentation Project, which consists on:
Ensure your user has adm privileges
Export SDK environment variables
Obey the filesystem hierarchy, installing the IDE and SDK into /opt
The steps above work perfectly on Ubuntu 22.04 and shall work on other distros with minor adjustments.
1. Ensure your user has adm privileges
grep adm /etc/group | grep ${USER}
adm:x:4:syslog,ventura
lpadmin:x:122:ventura
2. Configure environment variables
/etc/profile.d/
├── ...
├── android.sh
├── ...
├── java.sh
└── ...
where android.sh contains
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/google/android/
export FLUTTER_HOME=${ANDROID_HOME}/flutter
TOOLS=${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools
TOOLS=${ANDROID_HOME}/tools/bin:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools:${TOOLS}
export PATH=${FLUTTER_HOME}/bin:${TOOLS}:${PATH}
and java.sh your JRE directory
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-18-openjdk-amd64
3. Install Android Studio and Android SDK
Download latest Android Studio and unpack it into /opt/jetbrains/:
VERSION=2021.2.1.16
sudo mkdir -p /opt/google/android
sudo mkdir -p /opt/jetbrains/studio
# Unpack Android Studio into a versioned folder
tar -xvzf android-studio-${VERSION}-linux.tar.gz
sudo mv android-studio /opt/jetbrains/studio/${VERSION}
# Grant write permission to administrators
sudo chown root:adm -R /opt/jetbrains/
sudo chmod g+w -R /opt/jetbrains/
sudo chown root:adm -R /opt/google/android
sudo chmod g+w -R /opt/google/android
Finally launch Android Studio and choose the SDK location:
This approach is extremely powerful because it allows system administrators duplicate development workstations using rsync -avz without relying onto any username or custom privileges.
I searched for many hours for an answer to this
I reinstalled:
I opened a new folder called Android in C:
Into it I reinstalled the android studio
You have created a new SDK folder within it
Then in the blank path, I entered C: \ Android \ sdk
And that's how it all worked.
Try it!
You can clear invalidate caches and restart android studio like follow picture:
Then start download sdk files :)
Make sure that your internet is working and try to close VPN connections if you have any. Then restart Android Studio and hope for the best.
To solve this issue, I had to close Android studio entirely. When I started the application again, it detected that it had a missing SDK problem and then went ahead with the installation process for it.
Your country should not be among the sanctioned countries (using VPN).
Android Studio by Run as Administrator open.
Download : Android SDK and Android SDK Platform.
Fix error: the android sdk location cannot be at the filesystem root.
For test The VPN is working properly.
Open website : https://developer.android.com/
this is the best solution to this error which is just under any drive you have on your laptop which C:// open a folder called "Android" and under the android folder open a folder called "sdk" and change the sdk file path to this recently created folder. That's All.
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.
When launching DDMS from the command line in Lion (10.7.3) I get the following error:
E/adb: Failed to get the adb version: Cannot run program "/Users/stevieo/android-sdk-macosx/tools/adb": error=2, No such file or directory
This makes sense to me because adb is actually in: /Users/stevieo/android-sdks/platform-tools
How can I modify this path so that ddms will launch on my system?
I have looked into the ddms file itself, but cannot decipher its intent.
One note, I do NOT have this issue on Snow Leopard (10.6.8)....
TIA for any thoughts or assistance.
Regards,
Steve O'Sullivan
If you look into your tools directory where you launched ddms, you will see the adb_has_moved.txt which says:
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.
To solve this, I would change your ~/.bash_profile to have a line like:
# --- add Android platform-tools directory
PATH=~/android-sdks/platform-tools:$PATH
export PATH
Make sure to open up a new Terminal window so it will reload ~/.bash_profile
Note that a possible reason why it is working on your 10.6.8 installation is that you may have an older version of the Android SDK, where adb was in still in the tools directory.
If you are trying from eclipse,
Please make sure to create a adb link in /usr/bin/ directory which should solve the problem:
Ex: ln -s /Users//android-sdks/platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/adb
Note: logging as sudo/root may be required
I have successfully installed Titanium Studio. SDK Version:1.7.5.Now I have downloaded Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Now i am trying configure Android SDK but when i am Providing Path I am Getting Error like" Could not locate the Android SDK at the given path" I have attached Screenshot as well.
Step 1) Download the android SDK From here.
Step 2) unzip android-sdk ( whichever downloaded )
Step 3) In OS X, there is no /opt directory by default. you explicitly have to create it. Run following command.
sudo mkdir /opt
Step 4) Run following command to enter /opt directory.
cd /opt
Step 5) Run following command to create link of android-sdk. Assume that you have android-sdk located under Applications
sudo ln -s /Applications/android-sdk-macosx/ android-sdk
Step 6) enter to android-sdk/tools directory
cd /opt/android-sdk/tools/
Step 7) or directly enter following command in terminal.
/Applications/android-sdk-macosx/tools/android
Step 8) select necessary packages & download them. Sample screen-shot supplied here.
Open this URL - http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/32161/problem-with-the-android-sdk-installation-in-titanium. They have posted a similar kind of Q-A there.
and if you don't want fall in all this steps then just download eclipse and install ADT plugin for eclipse and download all the packages using ADT plugin.
You can get more info here,
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
I downloaded android SDK using this way in windows and mac both.
After googling i have come to know the all details of Installation of Android SDK in Titanium.Please refer this image.You can find this image at http://developer.appcelerator.com/get_started
Select the directory which holds your Android SDK with the browse button. Type an ending slash ('/') after the path (Android SDK directory). Now you can select your SDK in the popup next to Default Android SDK.
Locate your Android SDK directory, e.g. /usr/local/android-sdk-macos
Create an empty directory named android-7 within the platforms directory:
mkdir /usr/local/android-sdk-macosx/platforms/android-7
Now try again and select the Android SDK directory within Eclipse.
I'm still pretty new to Android and programming in general, and I can't seem to get the command line tools packaged with the Android SDK to work. I'm running Mac OSX and each time I try to run layoutopt, for example, the terminal returns, *-bash: cmd: command not found
*
Also, is it okay to have my SDK located in the Developer directory and my android project in some unrelated directory when using these tools?
If you want you can put the path in your ~/.bash_profile so you can call it from anywhere:
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/<username>/path/to/sdk/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
You may want to include also the platform-tools into your ~./bash_profile
### Android dev tools
export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/myusername/DEV/tools/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/sdk"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH"
You will need to start a new terminal session or run
source ~/.bash_profile
to loads the values immediately without having to open a new terminal session.
The current (2016-08-17) answer to this question is:
~/Library/Android/sdk
So my bash_profile contains:
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
I figured it out. I needed to go to the /tools directory in the SDK folder and type in:
./layoutopt <directorypath>
Problem is your command line tool is not seeing required programs from /path/to/sdk/tools.
One solution as user NKijak mentioned is to add those tools to your Home path and the other is to run command line from location where your sdk tools are stored. Here is a tutorial how to do just that http://hathaway.cc/2008/06/how-to-edit-your-path-environment-variables-on-mac-os-x/
Other way is, when opening command line just change your current dir to /path/to/sdk/tools and then run the tools. In windows you can just shift+right click in file explorer and pick open command windows here I am not sure is there equivalent on MacOS but there are some extensions you can install to add this option. Also total commander in windows has command line where you can start command line from current location there are similar programs on mac like Midnight Commander that have same option.
Here is a good description:
To connect to the console of any running emulator instance at any time, use this command:
telnet localhost <console-port>
