No packages or platforms in sdk manager

Question

In sdk manager i can\'t see any packages to install or any platforms.

I have tried running the sdk as administrator and disabling the antivirus program and firewall.

Answer 1

I believe I found the answer. I'm on Windows 7, and was having this same trouble. I did the following:

1. install the android sdk and latest Java 7 JDK
2. find the sdk batch file "android.bat" (for me it was at C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools)
3. edit this file and go to the end where it runs the final java command with the variable %java_exe%
4. Add -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true right after the %java_exe%

For me the line looked like this at the end:

call %java_exe% -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true %REMOTE_DEBUG% -Dcom.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir="%tools_dir%" -Dcom.android.sdkmanager.workdir=%work_dir% -classpath "%jar_path%;%swt_path%\swt.jar" com.android.sdkmanager.Main %*

I then see all the packages properly show up when I run "SDK Manager" from the windows start menu. NOTE! When I run it I right click and choose "run as administrator" which I think is always a good idea so that it has permission to add files etc.

I found this solution by finding this article:
