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

I'm trying to setup Android Studio on a new install of Mac OS X Yosemite. I downloaded the Android Studio Beta v0.8.14 from here: https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html and upon launching it complained about not having an SDK (although the download page indicates it should include the SDK). I tried searching after installing for the SDK and can't find it (a few other posts indicate /Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk but that location doesn't exist). Where is the SDK installed and what is required to set it up?
Go to the SDK Manager and click Edit... next to the field for the location of the SDK. Then an "SDK Setup" window should display. There you can download the SDK.
Edit: This answer is deprecated as Android Studio seems to bundle everything since a while already.
Old answer
It seems the android-studio-bundle version is no longer available in the download page (instead there are only android-studio-ide). When you start Android Studio, it won't let you create a new projet until you configure the SDK location.
That means you have to download the SDK separately here, extract it somewhere, and configure it on Configure->Project Defaults->Project Structure. After that, the SDK Manager icon will be enabled and you can download the tools you want.
I had the same problem on Windows. After I re-installed it a few times, I found that the SDK was installed but hidden in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk.
Information for Windows
For some reason, which I have no time to investigate, Android seems to provide, currently, the IDE and the SDK separately, while in the Dev Webpage says the opposite.
This is the "complete" (false!) tool I have just downloaded: android-studio-ide-171.4443003-windows.exe (SDK is missing here, note the "ide" in the file name).
And this is the real complete tool I had downloaded few months ago, from the same place...: android-studio-bundle-162.3871768-windows.exe
Note that this last one has the "bundle" in the file name.
Please, download the bundle (IDE+SDK) from here:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/install/2.3.1.0/android-studio-bundle-162.3871768-windows.exe?hl=ko
I want to suppose (¿?) that similar link you can find for Linux or macOS just Googling for it.
Hope this helps!
It worked like this for me
Downloaded the Android Studio
Install Android Studio
Open Android Studio after installation.
You will get a dialog box to import settings if you already have Intellij installed on your machine. Say "Do not Import". Otherwise continue to next step.
It will ask you in the dialog box to pre-configure such as theme, path etc.
Just click next next...and then Finish. You will see the SDK tool will start downloading.
After installation is finished. You can find it in this path: C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
If you have ever installed Android Studio before and then removed it, it won't reinstall the SDK automatically (speculation: some Windows setting somewhere).
The solution is starting Android Studio and then
File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Restore Default Settings
This will wipe any custom settings you don't have at this point and trigger the SDK install
What Pablo wrote is misleading.
This is the "complete" (false!) tool I have just downloaded:
android-studio-ide-171.4443003-windows.exe (SDK is missing here, note
the "ide" in the file name).
Yes, it is IDE only, but after you install this IDE and first time run it, SDK will be downloaded automatically. So there is no need to download some outdated bundles. Just use default "green button" on https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
I'm using Ubuntu, and had previously installed Android Studio. It was using too much space, so I deleted it. Now when I downloaded it and started ./studio.sh, it found my previous installation configuration directory and asked to import from there. I did, and then this problem occurred.
I put the directory .Android Studio 3.3 in the trash and restarted ./studio.sh, and it imported the SDK automatically for me. That was good, because I couldn't find it where it was supposed to be according to the dialog box. The 3.3 above is from the version of Android Studio I was installing.
in my case, my country is forbidden from google, and my PC's time zone was set by my counrty.
after I change my timezone to another country my problem solved and android studio download SDK and nkd easily
Re-install studio. If ANDROID_HOME is set to custom location then it will install sdk there else it will install SDK in C:\Users<user name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Note:this is a temporary fix
If you have Eclipse then you can use that SDK for emulation.
Just run the sdk manager and emulate a version of android. Then while you are asking for emulating something ie while running code it will show your emulator as online and you can even use it.
Hope this helps you.
All the Best...
I installed android studio but while selecting android SDK I am getting following error. I tried solution which is on this post but no luck. How can I solve this?
I had this problem, select SDK folder (NOT SDK->sources or SDK-platforms)
I resolved with the instructions here,
http://www.blog.teamguru.in/2018/04/06/selected-directory-is-not-a-valid-home-for-sdk/
Just close current error window and let run the android studio
Open the SDK manager as shown below
Click on Edit SDK location as shown below
Simply press next button if there is correct location for SDK you want to install there
Let it be downloaded
Install platform and SDK tools and
Enjoy
Try restarting the application. Close all related studio processes, then right click "run as administrator".
You should be fine after this.
I got the same issue. You must enable the Android Support Plugin
Configuration > Plugin > Android Support Plugin. Check it.
Close error window
Go to gradle tab
select "Gradle settings", wrench icon
Search for SDK setup
Select appropriate sdk for your device.
Next, two times
Wait for install
There is all..
None of the other answers work. After the installation, immediately close Android Studio, then start it as administrator. A message might popup asking for the sdk manager location. Ignore it (Close the popup). Go to Tools > SDK Manager and click on the edit button on the right of Android SDK Location. Then click Next, next and you're good to go. Android Studio will let you install the sdk manager.
I had the same problem but what I found is that it requires the parent folder of the following things AVD manager,SDK manager,tools,platform-tools,build-tools etc.So what you need is to find the parent directory of these things, which you might find with a name such as android-sdk or android-sdk-windows(in case you are using windows OS).Make sure the above said contents are in that folder and select it.I hope you will find this useful.
Download the SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Start SDK manager and make everything up to date
Also, make sure you have set the language level to
7.0 Diamonds, ARM, Multi-catch, etc
I had this problem on Linux. Apparently you need write access to some place in that directory, so I just took ownership of the entire thing:
sudo chown -R thomas:thomas /opt/android-sdk
Could be that something similar is going on on Windows as well.
If like me, a MacOs user which has installed Android Studio on my Mac and if you've tried everything you can think of but was still unable to set the Android SDK directory in Android Studio, follow the next steps (I know the site where I got the bundle is a freeware site but the package is the right one):
1. Download adt-bundle-mac (Android Developer Tools) from [here][1].
2. Unzip the file and browse into the unzipped folder.
3. Copy only the sdk dir to /Users/username/Library/Android
4. Open Android Studio, the error about the SDK folder which is not set will pop up, set the path to the SDK to "/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk".
5. Now Android Studio will accept the path and you're good to go.
I wasted about 2 hours until I fixed it so I hope that by writing this answer I'll save you some 2 hours.
The sdk folder contains the platform-tools folder.
I copied this folder and named it platforms, then it worked for me.
Just delete(preferably permanently) all the android directories in whatever location they are present(e.g. C:\Program Files\Android, C:\users\respective user\respective android folders). Remove the installer as well(if possible). Make sure to save all your Android Studio files in some external storage (preferably).
The main thing is to get Android studio with SDK.
Now go to the android studio website and install android studio leaving all settings default. There you will also get to install the SDK and it's linking.
It will take some time to load and will load nearly 1.5 GB files.
This worked for my case.
In my case I wasn't giving him admin permission
Steps to follow:
Close Android Studio.
Restart Android Studio and Give the path of Empty Folder .
Install Sdk in that folder(Sdk will automatically install and will get configure automatically.)
With Android Studio 4.1.2 the easiest thing is to close the project (file / close project). That's how you get to the wizard that automatically sets up the SDK for you.
The default location that it suggests is /Users/stan/Library/Android/sdk (exactly the same that I was trying to set up manually but AS kept saying it's invalid)
After I have installed the Android SDK using the exe file available and the Android SDK manager has opened, I cannot see any of the additional packages that are needed to be installed. All that is listed is the Android SDK Tools under the Tools folder. The Extras folder also doesnt display anything under it. So without this, I am stuck right in the beginning. The log messages that I get also doesnt exactly point me to anywhere. Following are the log messages that I get:
Fetching http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-2.xml
Fetched Add-ons List successfully
Fetching URL: http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-7.xml
Done loading packages.
Any help will be appreciated!
If your problem hasn't already been solved, try setting the proxy server from the SDK manager under the Tools -> Options menu. This is the mistake I had made. Perhaps this might help you too.
I had a similar problem because I was running SDK Manager from eclipse. The menu does not even have a Tools -> Options option. If this is the case just run the installed SDK Manager from your programs
Try disabling your firewall, it works for me
I am doing Android Development using Eclipse. I have downloaded all the required software, but I am having the same problem as discussed in "Unable to set up Android Target in Eclipse". Now I do not find the solution of the problem on that discussion so let me rewrite the problem again,
When I load Eclipse and create a new Android project, it keeps on waiting for the ADT to load. To figure out what is wrong I went to preferences and tried to put the location of the ADT I created in it but it keeps giving me this error when I put the address of ADT,
Could not find folder 'tools' inside SDK 'E:\Documents and
Settings\me\android-sdks'..
How can this issue be resolved?
I created the folder tools manually, now I am getting this error:
[2011-12-24 15:23:56 - DDMS] DDMS files not found: E:\Documents and Settings\me\android-sdks\platform-tools\adb.exe E:\Documents and Settings\me\android-sdks\tools\hprof-conv.exe E:\Documents and Settings\me\android-sdks\tools\traceview.bat
[2011-12-24 15:42:06 - DDMS] DDMS files not found: E:\Documents and Settings\me\.android\platform-tools\adb.exe E:\Documents and Settings\me\.android\tools\hprof-conv.exe E:\Documents and Settings\me\.android\tools\traceview.bat
If you install Eclipse properly then:
Start Eclipse
From the menu bar, select Window > Preferences > Android
For Android location, browse the folder in which you install Android SDKs.
In Android SDKs folder, rename the folder platforms-tools to tools.
Select the folder Android SDKs through Preferences dialog box.
If I get you correctly you have just downloaded Android sdk and want to configure it working with Eclipse. I think you miss one step from the installation of the sdk:
1) you download it
2) you extract it somewhere
3) then go to the specified directory and start AndroidManager (or was it just android??). There you specify you need platform-tools and the manager will configure that for you. This will also provide you with the 'adb' executable which is crucial for the Android developement.
After that you install ADT (which I think you already did) and from Eclipse preferences -> Android options you get a place to specify where your android-sdk is. If you specify it after you did the 'step 3' you should be good to go.
I am not 100% sure I got it correctly and what your state is, so please forgive me if my comment is irrelevant. If I am wrong I will be happy to help if you provide some more details.
Something I am completely sure is that you shouldn't need to create the folder 'tools' by yourself.
PS: The description I gave is for newer versions of android sdk, but if you are encountering a problem with older version I will recommend you to start from scratch with newer version. It shouldn't take you that long time.
This can also happen due to the bad unzipping process of SDK.It Happend to me.
Dont use inbuilt windows unzip process.
use WINRAR software for unzipping sdk
By default it looks for the SDK tools in "C:\Documents and Settings\user\android-sdks". Some times we install it at another location. So you just have to select the correct path and it will done.
I faced similar issue when the SDK tools installation was failed during the initial setup. To resolution is to download SDK tools from Android Developer Site
Expand "USE AN EXISTING IDE" section and download standalone SDK tools
Choose your destination as (%HOMEPATH%\android-sdks)
Now start Android-SDKs folder and run SDK manager
If you get the "Failed to find DDMS files..." do this:
Open eclipse
Open install new software
Click "Add..." -> type in (e.g.) "Android_over_HTTP" and in address put "http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/".
Don't be alarmed that its not https, this helps to fetch stuff over http. This trick helped me to resolve the issue on MAC, I believe that this also should work on Windows / Linux
Hope this helps !
In my case i was using Ubuntu. Where the was two directories one was /android-sdks
and /android-sdk-linux. I used the second one it works for me :)
My solution was to remove the Eclipse ADT plugin via menu "Help > About Eclipse SDK > Installation Details". Eclipse will restart.
Next go to Menu "Help > Install New Software", then add the ADT plugin url "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse" (or select the existing link from the dropdown).
This will re-install the latest ADT, including the DDMS files.
For me it was a simple case of specifying the path to the 'sdk' subfolder rather than the top level folder.
In my case I needed to input
/Users/Myusername/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140321/sdk
instead of
/Users/Myusername/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140321
I am new to android development.
Have tried a couple times downloading the Android SDK and ADT plugin for Eclipse
In the Android SDK and AVD manager load fine but will not load any available packages.
Show:
- Android Repository
--"Some packages were found but are not compatible updates"
In the installed it shows 1.5 to 2.3 SDK platforms.
How to I get them available.
Appreciate help.
Thanks,
Alex
You can use following step:
1. window ->
2. customize perspective ->
3. command group availability tab ->
4. on the check box android SDK and AVD manager check it ->
5. click on ok
I had the same issue. Googled arround found nothing, and gues what:
It was the a checkbox in the main Android SDK and AVD Manager.
Click: available packages
Then select: Android Repository
Then you see the "some packages were found but are not compatible updates" message, which is why you created this question.
On the bottom of the form, you can see: 4 buttons and 1 checkbox.
Make sure you Uncheck: "Display updates only" when it is unchecked, you see the whole SDK list with Android 3.2 etc.
Steps for installing Development Environment.
Download Android SDK and Install it.
Install Android API’s for different android versions. The latest version is Android 2.3.
Download and Install Eclipse Install ADT plugin.
Create AVD (Android Virtual Device) for testing the applications.
I think you did not linked your Android SDK folder with Eclipse ADT plugin. Goto Window->Preference->Android browse your Android SDK if you have installed ADT plugin.
There are many resources available online. Here is a blog post where you find some good links to resources which help you in installing Android Development Environment.
Getting Started with Android
If you still didn't able to do it. Let me know your specific problem, where you got struck.
I think there is already an answer that probably works for most people (unchecking the box), but since that did not work for this install I have on Linux Mint, this did work:
(not my website)
http://blog.netscribe.us/blog/post/Step-by-Step-Guide-on-How-to-Install-Android-SDK-Offline-%28not-completely-offline%29.aspx
Basically, download the zip for the package you want and extract it to /platforms/.
