file protocol of SVN with Android Studio

When I expand below URL

file:///D:/dev/admin/subversion/dev707/hello-android

in Android Studio (1.1.0) I get following error

svn: E180001: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL

Though, I can browse the same URL using TortoiseSVN 1.8.11 and Eclipse 4.4.2.

Please explain how to access SVN repo in Android Studio using file protocol.

You'd better install Subversion server instead of accessing a repository via file:// access scheme. When accessing a repository via HTTP(S) or svnserve it does not matter what repository format version is.

Moreover, when you access the repository via file://, you access it directly on disk. Therefore there is no authentication and authorization, no hook scripts work, you can't make the repository available for other developers, etc.

The solution is to create backward compatible SVN repo using new Tortoise SVN:-

  1. By default, Tortoise SVN does not install 'svn command line client tools'. Re-install Tortoise SVN with 'commnad line client tools'.

Tortoise Installation

  1. Update Settings --> Version Control --> Subversion --> General as shown below. Also restart Android Studio, so it will pick up new PATH environment variable recently set by Tortoise SVN re-installation.

Android Studio Settings

  1. Create backward compatible SVN repository using below command with Tortoise SVN 1.8.11.

    svnadmin create --compatible-version 1.7 studio

  2. Now, add SVN URL to Android Studio, you will be able to access the SVN content.
