The Dreaded: No Android SDKs were found under the specified SDK location

Question

Hoping, with some assistance, to find a solution here pls;

Environ: OSX 10.14.3 (Mojave)
Appcelerator:
build: 5.1.1.201809051655
Build: jenkins-appcelerator-studio-titanium_studio-master-38 (master)
Date: 201809051655

Mac 64-bit installer downloaded from: https://platform.axway.com/#/product/studio

I originally attempted to install sdks via the button in the dashboard. The android sdk claimed it came down and was recognised as good. However the iOS sdk was problematic and just sat there spinning. I subsequently opened the App Store and d'loaded/installed XCode directly from there. Since then, it appears the Andoird sdks do not want to be recognised.

Things I have already attempted:

• moved the 'android-sdk-macosx' dir out of the Library dir.
• deleted the .titanium dir and restarted. The subsequently created config.json does list the correct sdk base dir.
• (Not tried as such, but:) No Genymotion installed

• The sdk dir is listed in the Prefs Dialog > Platforms > Android, but the error is recognised.

• Instructions followed @: https://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Errors_Configuring_Platforms_Inside_Studio

There is no mention of 'avd.py' in the log. Surely, this indicates there is no Python installed, no......? And if no python is installed, how could a script expected to run in order to recognise the android sdk physically run?

  Android Issues
  ! Unable to locate an Android NDK.
  Without the NDK, you will not be able to build native Android Titanium modules.
  If you have already downloaded and installed the Android NDK, you can tell Titanium where the
  Android NDK is located by running 'appc titanium config android.ndkPath /path/to/android-ndk',
  otherwise you can install it by running 'appc titanium setup android' or manually downloading
  from http://appcelerator.com/android-ndk.
  

• Finally, in light of the apparently missing 'avd.py' ref. and the apparently missing Android Executable, I have since re-d'loaded the Studio from the above link, and re-installed it.

I then clicked on configure for the Android sdk, which when finished showed me all Ticks, but to no avail. Both the prefs dialog and the Dashboard claim it still ain't there.

Android SDK

I would really appreciate your assistance.

Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I had that exact problem, but somewhere in the appcelerator docs (https://docs.axway.com/bundle/Titanium_SDK_allOS_en/page/installing_the_android_sdk.html) was an instruction to also install android studio at https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html.

After installing android studio and using that the menu on the bottom: configure -> sdk manager to download SDKs, my Appcelerator studio worked. I still can't use appcelerator studio to get more SDKs, but the android studio path at least has me working again.

Answer 2

Android Executable = not found

I think you miss the tools directory in the sdk (with Android Studio's SDK Manager I had to install Android SDK Tools).

I'd suggest to download the Android SDK with Android Studio or standalone from Google and then add the sdk path in Appcelerator Studio settings (Platform -> Android).

Answer 3

Please try to place your "android-sdk" folder to the Home directory and show the location to the Axway Appcelerator Studio>>Preferences>>Studio>>Platforms>Android>Android SDK Home. Then click on Install SDKs>> Now select android 6.X.X, 7.X.X,8.X.X and install those packages.

If you face any issue then try to setup android SDK via the terminal.

• appc ti config android.sdk SDKLocation
• appc ti setup android

And restart PC.

Also, take a look android SDK installation guide - http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Installing_the_Android_SDK

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

1. Completely uninstall (remove every installed file) the android studio and install it again.

2.U can also download sdk and ndk inside android studio -> sdk manager
