Os X Visual Studio 2017 Manage Google Update This Comment

Not the answer youre looking for Browse other questions tagged android android-sdk-tools android-sdk-manager or ask your own question.

While back there were two type of installations - Android Studio and just Android SDK.

Typically I download SDK that have UI tool to download its components.

But its kinda inconvenient for my purpose because going through output of --list, copy-pasting packages names and running sdkmanager would take too much time.

In case you are right, did you try to download a less recent version.

I extracted content of zips tools to androidsdk and it was mistake.

Is the sdkmanager.exe gone or is just a bug in the installation.

For manual SDK, AVD, and project management, please use Android Studio.

They explain the decision with an entire switching to Android Studio.

There are no links on official Android sources where to download last GUI version, because they find it as having potential security bugs.

It was short sited of Google to force you to go through the Android Studio UI only for these options.

Keep an eye out on the Andmore project for when we will have this available.

Os X Visual Studio 2017 Manage Google Update This Comment

Ill try to update this comment as well when it is available.

I see jar in question in lib folder but Im hesitant to read bash 3.5Kb script to find out where Google made mistake.

Invalid or unsupported command sdk and The android command is deprecated.

The command line was so tough for me as I didnt get the full package names when running sdkmanager --list command.

It can be installed from under Cross Platform Mobile workload in the Visual Studio Installer.

It replaces Googles standalone SDK Manager (which was deprecated in version 25.2.3 of the Android SDK Tools package).

I get a message saying the android command is deprecated and to use the toolsbinsdkmanager.bat and avdmanager.bat files which do not give you a GUI.

Something that used to be easy was just made 10 times more difficult and annoying.

Maybe this little weekend project could save some people from headache of using sdkmanager command line or downloading android-tools twice.
