Aligning         


        

Answer 1

I've fixed this issue by doing this:

Open Android Studio > Preferences > SDK Tools and check "Android SDK Build-Tools"

Answer 2

With Android Studio 1.0 you have to use zipAlignEnabled true

Answer 3

If zipalign command is not found from Command-Line add file path of zipalign to environmental variables. As mentioned above, it's never good to change exe file location.

For Windows users:

Add to User->PATH->"path to zipalign folder"

In my case it path was C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\build-tools\android-4.4W. In that folder is zipalign.exe

This link can help you with setting path and understanding it http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/command_line.shtml#path

Answer 4

i solved by RUN as Administrator @ your SDK Manager.exe in directory C:\Program Files\Android SDK

after that u'll get updated build tools an any repository

Answer 5

Check in the SDK manager, that it has installed the "build-tools". Mine in its default state, did not do this.

Answer 6

I decided to just make a video for this..I kept pasting it into tools but alas that was not working for me. I moved it to platform-tools and voila publishing right away..must restart eclipse afterwards.
