I am trying to start developing android apps. I think I need to install support library-revision 10 first.However I get error...
I tried to install it by using sdk manager. It gives an error like this:
Downloading Android Support Library, revision 10
File not found: C:\Program Files
(x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp\support_r10.zip (access is denied)
Done. Nothing was installed.
Can anybody help me?
Try running whichever program you are using to install as an administrator,
run your SDK Manager as an administrator. Right click on it and choose "Run as administrator" It should install it then.(Right Click -> Run As Administrator).
This can happen when SDK Manager tries to modify the file that is being used by eclipse. Try this Exit eclipse(you may need to restart your system aslo) - go to your android sdk folder - open SDK manager directly from there(not from eclipse)- now update the libraries.

I just updated my Android Studio to version 2.2 and now I want to update a few sdk tools and trying to launch standalone sdk manager but it is not being opened and no error message is being displayed when I click on it.
Also, I tried to look in finder for Android SDK Manager .exe its not there What is the reason of it. Anyone facing this issue? I also reinstalled android studio and tried to launch sdk manager after restarting studio but it is not working.
Here is my finder screenshot.
Kindly help. I am stuck in this.
Thanks in advance.
I have also faced the same problem few days back and I end up with the solution that to use android SDK manager first we need to make sure that java jdk must be install in our system.
I am using ubuntu so i m about to give solution for the same
go to Terminal
copy paste the following line
javac -version
now it will end up with something like this as you see in the following image
choose appropriate package as i choose openjdk-8-jdk-headless
and type in terminal as
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk-headless
now it will take 2-3 mins and thereafter your Luanch Standalone SDK Manager button will work
and for Windows users you need to set Path for your java jdk then your Launch Standalone SDK Manager button will work
This is what i did to solve the problem:
went to https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.0.2-windows.zip and downloaded that sdk tools.
Extracted the file in one of the location of my choice.
Copied the SDK Manager.exe from the extracted file.
Went to the location where the original SDK Manager.exe was and replaced it with the one downloaded.
Went back to android studio and started SDK Manager, boom! SDK Manager launched perfectly. :)
NOTE: I replace all the file that included in downloaded file and leave the other remaining file of the SDK folder as it is:)
when i click to install android platform tools it shows following image
when i click exit studio and launch sdk manager android studio is closing but sdk manager is not launching
If i try to attempt all packages the following image is occuring
please help me to fix this issue
Yah thats correct it will take time download and unzip all the downloaded files and then it installs on your system till that time you have to wait
From installed Sdk Path(ex c:\sdk\ etc) -> launch SDK manager, try right clicking on the SDK Manager.exe and selecting "Run As Administrator". close all the instances of android studio before updating.and kill adb.exe also.
Also, some anti-virus programs have been known to interfere with SDK Manager
SDK path
If you're using android studio then...
Open the Android SDK Manager.
At the top of the window, just above the list of SDKs, it says "SDK Path: ".
mine is:
C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
You can try to launch Android SDK manager manually by launching SDK manager.exe . You can find its location in windows by Android studio. Go to Menu option
File-> Project Structure->SDK location
If it give you any error on launching as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/39097281/4290570 , please feel free to comment further.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I installed the Android SDK Manager, and am now trying to install a platform like the Android Dev website suggests. Once I clicked install I got an error stating that the Manager could not create a temp folder within the Android directory. So I created it. Now I'm getting this error:
Downloading SDK Platform Android 2.3,
API 9, revision 1 File not found:
C:\Program Files
(x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\temp\android-2.3_r01-linux.zip
(Access is denied)
There is also a little message under the progress bar that says "Done. Nothing was installed."
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, in case that's of any use.
Try running Android Studio as an administrator, by right-clicking on the .exe and selecting "Run As Administrator".
Also, some anti-virus programs have been known to interfere with SDK Manager.
I was getting a similar permission issue and SDK Manager could not download and install new components. Error message was (I'm running Android Studio (I/O Preview) 0.2.9)
"Unable to create C:\Program Files
(x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\temp"
Although solution was infact what #william-tate's answer says, I could not run the 'SDK Manager' directly. It fails with message:
Failed to execute tools\android.bat
The system cannot find the file specified.
Instead I ran the 'tools\android.bat' as Administrator, which in turn launched SDK Manager with same permissions which fixed the issue.
Hope this helps for someone who faces the issue I faced.
In Mac OS X (tried with Android Studio), do the following in Terminal
cd /android/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/sdk/tools
sudo ./android sdk
This launches SDK manager as admin. Now update/install the packages from SDK manager and it'll work.
For Android Studio, selecting "Run As Administrator" while starting Android Studio helps.
In my case I had to specify proxy settings in Tools->Options.
I had same problem when I try to install it on my pc (Win7, 64-bit system). I had an error message shown in figure below. But when I check my local folder 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk', the Android SDK is already there. Somehow Android studio could not see/link it.
So please check first whether you can find the Android SDK in the local folder. If yes, just follow the next steps.
Chose 'Cancel' and click on 'X' on the top right corner.
Chose 'Do not re-run the setup wizard' and click 'OK'
Start Android Studio again and go 'Configure'-->'Project Defaults' --> 'Project Structure'
Add 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk' to 'Android Location' and click 'OK'
Click on 'Start a new Android Studio project'.
Hopefully it helps.
I had a similar issue - very slow xml downloads followed by an empty package list. The SDK, it seems, was trying to use legacy Java installation. Setting the JAVA_HOME to the 1.6 jdk did the trick.
In my case I was using Windows 7 with the 64-bit OS. We installed the 64-bit Java SE and 64-bit ADT Bundle. With that set up, we couldn't get the SDK manager to work correctly (specifically, no downloads allowed and it didn't show all the API download options). After trying all of the above answers and from other posts, we decided to look into the Java set up and realized it might the 64-bit configuration that's giving the ADT bundle grief (I vaguely recall seeing/reading this issue before).
So we uninstalled Java 64-bit and reinstalled the 32-bit, and then used the 32-bit ADT bundle, and it worked correctly. The system user was already an admin, so we didn't need to "Run as Administrator"
For those running SDK Manager in Eclipse, selecting "Run As Administrator" while starting Eclipse.exe helps.
For Linux/ubuntu User
Why it's happening?
due to lock icon on some folder(not having read/write access) in
"/yourpath/android-studio-SDK"
Sort and sweet solution
-Open Terminal (Ctrl +alt +t)
-copy pest sudo chown -R $USER: $HOME
-wait for a while.....
-now Try again to update your SDK
Happy Coding :)
The Access denied is because Windows doesn't give the default write and modify permission to the files in its install drive viz. c:
To resolve this issue I usually use a separate drive or in your case, you need to set the access rights to the specific folder in the options
right click -> options > security -> edit
In windows 8:
right click on windows button
List item
CDM as administrator
Press 'yes'
paste this $ C:\xxx\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\android.bat
If you use SDK Manager in Eclipse:
Option 1: Right-click on eclipse.exe and select "Run As Administrator".
Option 2: If you don't want to start Eclipse.exe as Administrator just install/copy Eclipse installation files from "C:\program files\Eclipse ADT Bundle\" to some unprotected folder, like "D:\android\". Run "D:\android\eclipse\eclipse.exe", select menu item "Window => Preferences => Android" and change "SDK Location" to "D:\android\sdk\". After that you'll be able to install new packages in Android SDK Manager.
go to sdk folder and right click on SDK manager and run with administrator and enjoy installing.
To go along with what v01d said:
Using Android Studio for Mac OS X, the SDK folder could also be at /Users/{user}/Library/Android/sdk, where {user} is your username.
To find out where the partial SDK installation is, go to Configure > SDK Manager in Android Studio, then click edit at the top. This should pop up a window and show the location.
Copy this path and paste it front of the cd command in a terminal. Finally execute sudo ./android sdk to launch the standalone SDK manager.
EDIT (July 14, 2016):
The "android" binary file could also be at /Users/{user}/Library/Android/sdk/tools.
Solution for macOS
click right on AndroidStudio.app -> show Package Contents -> MacOS
now drag & dropping the studio-executable in a terminal
sudo! (Ctrl+A places your cursor in front)
start the SDK Manager inside AS to get your stuff (you will have root access)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPnu3Nrd1u0&feature=youtu.be
you need 3 steps:
1- Configure -> "Appearance and Behavior" -> System Settings -> HTTP Proxy. I selected
"Automatic proxy configuration url:"
2-Delete your ~/.Android* folders (c:\users\ur user).
3-Run Android Studio. It will show you a welcome wizard where it tries to download the SDK again.
I have installed Android SDK and it is working OK, except: for additional items,
e.g. Google USB driver
I get the error:
File not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp\usb_driver_r07-windows.zip (Access is denied).
The folder ...temp is there but empty.
What is happening?
Do not use SDK Manager via Eclipse. You can find it from the Start menu and right click on it and choose "Run As Administrator".
This issue will be resolved by running your IDE (Eclipse, Android Studio) as "Run as administrator".
OR
Set your app ICON to run application always as Administrator.
Right click, select Run as Administrator. It should not cause any issue now and installation should work fine. See Issue #72982 SDK Manager cannot update when installed in C:\Program Files (x86), unless run as Administrator.
I think you must put the android SDK file in a path without spaces and because eclipse can't read the file
try it and give me your feedback....
