Android sdk download/update failing

I'm trying to update and install the latest Android SDK (API 8) and keep getting the following error:

Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

I'm running on OS X 10.6.3 If I visit the url in a browser I'm not getting any errors about an untrusted cert.

edit: I'm running Revision 5 of the Android SDK and AVD manager (if that makes a difference) edit: Tried downloading the latest android sdk (revision 6) and running everything from the command line and still no dice. I can only assume there's something either in my java installation or in os x on my machine.

I agree with user1544900.

In windows 7, I have to:

  1. Temporarily turn off my windows firewall.
    a. (start -> run -> firewall.cpl) b. Turn Windows Firewall on or off (hyperlink in left-hand menu) c. Choose Turn off Public firewall radio button in the lower section.

  2. Restart eclipse by right clicking it and choosing the option to "Run as Administrator".

  3. Start updating SDK.

** Don't forget to turn your firewall back on.

I had the reverse problem, non https and downloads were taking forever at 26KiB/s - It kept locking up using the manager. So I forced HTTPS and all is good now on Windows Vista

Resolved this issue in windows xp, open your android SDK manager you will find Android sdk tools checkbox underneath Tools checkbox.Select and update your Android sdk tool then you will not get this error again and now you can download api 8 for android 2.2

I had the same problem and I tried following Ovi Tisler's solution but the force https option was already deselected and nothing worked.

Solution:

I solved my my problem by updating the Android SDK tools and Android SDK android tools in the tools folder first. (Do not forget to checked for updates in Help->Check for updates after the installation). After that the SDK platform was listed along other API levels I did not have.

Hope it helps someone.

In windows 7 I have the same issue, and many times android sdk downloads stucks forever. So I started sdk manager as administrator, and deactivated windows firewall, and my virus protection software. When doing that every thing goes fine, I was able to finish my android sdk downloads.

Well, This problem is mainly caused because ADB is unable to connect to the android servers to fetch updates. (If at home try turning off firewall)

  • Goto folder Android SDK where your sdk is placed(in my case"D:/Android SDK/android-sdk-Windows").
  • From this folder double click "SDK Manager.exe".
  • When Android SDK and AVD Manager window opened then click Settings.
  • In Proxy Settings, it will ask for a HTTP Proxy Server and HTTP Proxy Port.
  • Enter the IP address and the port number being asked.
  • In Misc Tab check "Force https://... "
  • Turn off your firewall and temporarily disable your antivirus.

Hope this will surely work....

I know you are using a mac, but for anyone who is on Windows and is getting this error then try going to the SDK and AVD Manager via eclipse instead of using the SDK Setup.exe. This can be found under Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager

This fixed the problem for me.

Ok this worked for me so far (although it makes me nervous that I'll have future problems) I downloaded the bundles straight from the site: http://dl.google.com/android/repository/google_apis-8_r01.zip http://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-2.2_r01-macosx.zip

unzipped them and put the first one under the add-ons folder (where I had installed the android sdk ../android-sdk-mac_86/add-ons/google_apis-8_r01) unzipped the second one and created the directory android-8 underneath ../android-sdk-mac_86/platforms Taking the contents of the zip file and moving it into that directory (the first zip created an appropriately named directory, this one did not).

Now it shows up as installed. Still wish I understood what the root problem is/was as I can't update any installed packages with out coming across the same initial error.
