Nativescript-cli: Android SDK is not installed or is not configured properly, environment looks ok

[ItStillDoesNotWork]

See #1813. This problem STILL EXISTS - despite that issue being closed for some reason - on Linux, and on Mac.

@ItStillDoesNotWork please follow the issue template when filing an issue.

Make sure you have all the required Android SDK packages installed too, these include SDK Platform 25, Android SDK Build-Tools 25.0.2 or later, Android Support Repository, Google Repository and any other SDKs that you may need.

sudo $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "tools" "platform-tools" "platforms;android-25" "build-tools;25.0.2" "extras;android;m2repository" "extras;google;m2repository"

As per http://docs.nativescript.org/start/ns-setup-linux#advanced-setup-steps

Hi,

Got the same issue when updating NativeScript to 3.2.1, I think it comes from the script installation which does everything for you and change your bash_profile.. A lots of MacOsX users use Zsh it may comes from this.
(javac works in the terminal)

tns --version:
3.2.1

get an error while executing:

sudo $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "tools" "platform-tools" "platforms;android-25" "build-tools;25.0.2" "extras;android;m2repository" "extras;google;m2repository"

error:

Hope it can help

[petekanev]

Hey @rhanb which JDK distribution do you have? Please make sure it's Oracle's 1.8 (Java 8) JDK.

[rhanb]

Hey @Pip3r4o ,

Thanks for your answer, I used the latest JDK which was downloaded from the NativeScript script which run when I updated it. Using Java 8 SDK fixed the issue 👍

[etabakov]

Hi @rhanb, the setup script was updated to require explicitly Java 8 and the documentation was updated accordingly.

[GrumpyOldTroll]

I ran into this problem and found a solution that worked for me here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47150410/failed-to-run-sdkmanager-list-android-sdk-with-java-9

Namely:
replacing line 31 of $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager:

# OLD:
# DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS='"-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=$APP_HOME"'
# NEW:
DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS='"-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=$APP_HOME" -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee'

[viotti]

Or just export JAVA_OPTS='-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee'. On Bash, YMMV.

[as-cole]

I am getting the exact same behavior as rhanb described above, but I am on JDK 8 (1.8), and I have tried the fix GrumpyOldTroll offered - still getting the same errors.

[germanviscuso]

Android Tools are not yet compatible with JDK 9 or 10 and by taking a look at the XmlSchema error it looks like at some point the system is using the system-wide JDK version. If you have to work with multiple Java versions (and just having a JDK 8 is not an option) you can try this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49630165/how-to-configure-unity-2017-4-to-target-android-and-avoid-build-failures-on-osx/49630166#49630166
(I work with multiple Java versions via jenv and this was the only sane solution I found)

[ericjasonthomas]

Getting same issue

[lozinskydino]

I using the currenty version of tns (5.1.0), and i solved the problem removing "--add-modules java.se.ee'"

# OLD: 
# DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=%~dp0\.." -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee # 
NEW: 
DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=%~dp0\.." -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions

Thanks to @GrumpyOldTroll for the path to solve this.

Great! Its work

[vadxq]

I use it in windows:

@rem Add default JVM options here. You can also use JAVA_OPTS and SDKMANAGER_OPTS to pass JVM options to this script.
@rem set DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=%~dp0\.."
set DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=%~dp0\.." -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee

[mustafa-kahraman]

I solved the problem on Linux

• mov the sdk files to home folder like /home/user_name/android/sdk
• change ANDROID_HOME path with the new path ( in .bashrc file and source it or reopen the terminal )
• call the same command without sudo
  $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "tools" "emulator" "platform-tools" "platforms;android-28" "build-tools;28.0.3" "extras;android;m2repository" "extras;google;m2repository"

[maxjf1]

i solved it downgrading to java 8

[meleander]

If you want to read how to properly install java 8, here is the link: https://www.dev2qa.com/how-to-install-uninstall-multiple-java-versions-in-mac-os-by-home-brew-or-manually/

[jburtondev]

Just downgrade your Java version to Java 8 using this: sudo update-alternatives --config java :+1:

[Krunal79-flutter]

Already Solved At Here

[INotDisposable]

I don't understand why Oracle removed (or just moved) the XmlSchema classes. For anyone with a modern version of Java installed this error exists. Also, at least for Windows, you can't download JDK 8 anymore without signing up for an Oracle account.

Once JDK 8 is installed this all seems to work. Unfortunately, I need a newer release of Java for other workloads, so I keep needing to adjust JAVA_HOME and my PATH depending on what I'm doing at the time. Hopefully these tools will be updated to remove the dependency on JDK8.

[vitormm]

Just downgrade your Java version to Java 8 using this: sudo update-alternatives --config java

It solved here! Thanks!

I have faced two errors while Build my project on Android Studio:

1) License for package Android SDK Platform 28 not accepted. (while Build my project in Android Studio 4.1)

2) exception in thread main java.lang.noclassdeffounderror javax/xml/bind/annotation/xmlschema (while running SDK manager to accept license)

For me, it was a java version problem. I have installed JDK instead of java. TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, I did the following steps.

For Windows:

Step1: Download and install the latest JAVA version from https://www.java.com/en/download/

Step2: Search for "View advanced system settings" in the start menu button (windows icon)

Step3: Click on "Environment Variables"

Step4: under "System variables" click on "New", now set "Variable name: JAVA_HOME" and "Variable value: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_271" (add latest installed java path here). Then "OK", "OK", and "OK".

Step5: open cmd as an administrator and type the following commands:

1) cd C:\Users\kevin\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin (*change username here)

2) sdkmanager --licenses

Press "y" for all questions.

Step6: Restart your Android Studio again.

DONE.

Let me know if anyone having a problem while following the above steps.

Were you able to get any solution to this. I am getting the same error message in mac when I run
flutter doctor --android-licenses

This worked on May 2021. Had to install Java 8.0.291 (latest at that time) and run the commands (for some reason, I had to use Program Files x86 instead of Program Files). Thanks

[codemaker2015]

You can resolve this issue by downloading the Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest) on Android Studio, under Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK > SDK Toolsand re-running flutter doctor --android-licenses then accept all license messages.
