Android SDK fails to install
When I try to install the android SDK it fails to install.
My OS is Windows XP
I just downloaded and installed Java JDK 1.6
Java -version from the command line returns:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
My environment vars have: JAVA_HOME=c:\progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_11
I downloaded android-sdk-r04-windows.zip
I unziped it in V:\AndroidInstall\
When I go to the
V:\androindinstall\android-sdk-windows> and type "SDK Install.exe" nothing happens... If I go this from graph
When I do this from a graphical file viewer I get a quick flash that looks like a command line window and nothing....
When I try to run android list targets
from the tool directory I get:
Error: Error parsing the sdk. Error: V:\androindinstall\android-sdk-windows\platforms is missing. Error: Unable to parse SDK content.
So the basic install setup is not happening.
Additional clues:
I have a G1 and Android 1.0 was running on this machine. (Almost a year ago)
I've updated my G1 to 1.6 so I thought I'd update my SDK before starting new development.
When I tried to upgrade it tried and then died as the "directory was in use" So I cleaned out all the android directories, rebooted and redownloaded everythign from scratch. Now it won't run at all.
I've clearly got something in an unhappy state, but I've cleaned up all the directories and no remanants seem to be running I've rebooted....
I've missed somethign I just can't figure out what.

Answer 1
You should manually create 2 more directories under your root sdk dir 'android-sdk-windows':
- platforms
- add-ons
and than start SDK Setup.exe from the root directory or try to open it from Eclipse 'Window' -> 'Android SDK and AVD manager'

- Run the SDK setup
- Wait for the error message
- Disable anti virus
- Install this unlocker program http://download.cnet.com/Unlocker/3000-2248_4-10493998.html
- Run the unlocker program
- select the tools directory to unlock it
- select yes in the installer.
This is what worked for me.

The directories "platforms" and "add-ons" need to be manually installed in the android SDK directory (parallel to "tool"). This is only necessary in a new installation.

I had the same problem, adding the directory add-ons got rid of the error when eclipse is first open but I still couldn't download packages from the sdk manager.
What solved this problem for me (in windows 8) is running eclipse as administrator.

I got this error from my Jenkins CI.
It was because the Jenkins user did not have permissions on the android-sdk-linux folder.
(not the best solution but fixed it with):
sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/bin/android-sdk-linux
