Android Command line tools sdkmanager always shows: Warning: Could not create settings

问题

I use the new Command line tools of android because the old sdk-tools repository of android isn't available anymore. So I changed my gitlab-ci to load the commandlintools. But when I try to run it I get the following error:

Warning: Could not create settings
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
    at com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCliSettings.<init>(SdkManagerCliSettings.java:428)
    at com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCliSettings.createSettings(SdkManagerCliSettings.java:152)

    at com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli.main(SdkManagerCli.java:48)

I already tried executing those commandy by hand, but I get the same error. Also if i run sdkmanager --version, the same error occurs. My gitlab-ci looks like:

image: openjdk:9-jdk

variables:
  ANDROID_COMPILE_SDK: "29"
  ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS: "29.0.3"
  ANDROID_SDK_TOOLS:   "6200805"

This appears to be a bug with the way sdkmanager locates the SDK installation folder.

A work-around is to set the flag --sdk_root. You can move ANDROID_HOME declaration higher, then use it with the subsequent commands.

 - export ANDROID_HOME=$PWD/android-sdk-linux
 - yes | android-sdk-linux/tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} --licenses
 - android-sdk-linux/tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} "platform-tools" "platforms;android-${ANDROID_COMPILE_SDK}" >/dev/null

Also, moved blanket license acceptance command to the first command to clean up the echo y parts.

Oddly enough if you run sdkmanager --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} "tools" it will upgrade tools from 3.6.0 to 26.1.1 and sdkmanager no longer has this issue. This update takes time and bandwidth and isn't exactly necessary with the work-around.

Downloading the new cmdline-tools from Android Developer website require the following directory structure to be respected. I'll be link the screenshot of directory tree.

For those who struggled with installing Android Command Line Tools for Appium on Windows 10/x64 just do as following:

Download latest Command line tools from android i.e. commandlinetools-win-6200805_latest.zip
Unzip the downloaded file
Create directory for storing commandline tools somewhere on your disk, with following path included: android/cmdline-tools/latest Basically when You unzip this Cmd line tools, just rename tools directory to latest and make sure You put this latest folder in android/cmdline-tools directory somewhere on your disk
Create ANDROID_HOME environment variable for directory that stores the cmdline tools directory location like: C:\YourLocationWhereYouStoreTheDirectory\android\cmdline-tools\latest
Create new entry in Path environment variable as %ANDROID_HOME%\bin

Got the same issue, came here by Google. According to the AndroidStudio Archive, today was the release of 4.1. I suppose that's no coincidence.

This completely unrelated guide has a hardlink for an older version of the sdk-tools for linux. You can change the url to windows or mac for other OSs. I'll use that as a hotfix for now.

(that was supposed to be a comment not a solution)

I found the solution to use the latest command-line tools following those steps:

1 - Extracting the Command-line tools into a folder with this structure: e.g.: $HOME/Development/android/cmdline-tools/latest (this folder must contain lib, bin, notice.txt and source.properties)

2 - Defining ANDROID_HOME as an environment variable:

ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Development/android/cmdline-tools/latest"

3 - Loading it on PATH:

PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/lib:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools"
