SDK Manager.exe doesn't work

Question

When I clicked SDK Manager on Program Files or run it in cmd, nothing happened. I did:

1. Installed latest JDK
2. Installed latest Android SDK<

Answer 1

And if tools\android works for you while .exe doesn't, it's probably the x64 java.

It started working when i completely uninstalled JDK with JRE (shows as separate option in windows uninstal control panel applet) and android sdk and reinstalled using x86 version.

Why does it worth the time, you may ask? Well, such an inconsistency obvoiusly means that amount of testing with x64 java is zero and so you can probably experience many other failures in the future.

Answer 2

The way I solved your last problem was by right clicking the android.bat file, and chose edit with notepad++. I then went down to the part of the program where it had this bit of code:

cd /d %~dp0

It was also some other lines of code, but I deleted them. After deleting these other lines I simply just wrote(under the cd /d %~dp0):

cd Program Files

cd java

cd jdk1.7.0_03

cd bin

I dont know here you java.exe file is located but mine was at lest located there.

Answer 3

I solved this problem, which occured for me after manually installing the ADT (4.2/api 17) bundle on Windows 7 64 bit in C:\Program Files.

The steps I had to take:

1. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the installation directory of the (64 bit) JDK, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11 in my case.
2. Run SDK Manager as administrator at least once. SDK Manager allows you to change files in Program Files, so you should give it the proper access rights.

Answer 4

I was getting the error "C:\Program is not recognized as an internal or external command" Followed by loads of "unable to copy file" Followed by something about Android_SWT not being able to be found.

The way I fixed the problem on my system (Windows 8, 64 bit, JDK 7) was:

1. Create JAVA_HOME environment variable and point it to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin
2. Open ANDROID SDK DIRECTORY\tools\android.bat in your favorite text editor
3. Find the lines set java_exe= call lib\find_java.bat (it's split over 2 lines)
4. Replace the lines with set java_exe="%JAVA_HOME%\java.exe"
5. Save and run tools\android.bat

The problem was that the the space in the path was not being handled correctly. By wrapping the path in quotation marks, the space is then correctly catered for.

Answer 5

I solved my problem opening android.bat inside sdk/tools and setting the java_exe property, which was empty.

set java_exe="C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java"

Answer 6

I had the same problem, running X64 Java (1.7.0_03-b05). Even though I had both C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin listed in my path, it wouldn't start - just flashed a command prompt.

The tools\lib\find_java.bat file was reporting that it was attempting to run C:\Windows\system32\java.exe but failed. Huh? I checked, and found outdated copies of java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe in my C:\Windows\system32. How did those get there, I didn't put them there!

I deleted those three files from C:\Windows\system32 and the problem was fixed.

Thinking about it, the problem likely would have been fixed by making sure thatC:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin were at the START of my PATH variable instead of tacked onto the end.
