Is GUI for Android SDK manager gone?
Officially GUI is gone, but pleasant people saved the last of it for us: installer_r24.4.1-windows.exe
According for this announcment Google doesn't intend to support ADT pluging for Eclipse since June 2015, and so as GUI for ADT at all. They explain the decision with an entire switching to Android Studio. There are no links on official Android sources where to download last GUI version, because they find it as having potential security bugs.
So you have chance to download the last saved version, till the link will not be changed. If it already happened try to search by tag.
Thank to Losin' Me for links:
- Windows (No installer): dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-windows.zip
- Mac OS X: dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-macosx.zip
- Linux: dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz
Found on web.archive.org
Looks like I'm not the only one who had to deal with this idiocy. The way to install it
- Unpack zip to some
/parent
folder so it has/parent/tools
. I extracted content of zip'stools
to/androidsdk
and it was mistake. Script couldn't find it. - Set
ANDROID_HOME
to/parent
folder. - Run
/parent/tools/android sdk
to see SDK Manager's GUI.
Google, was it hard to leave script that does the above in installation zip so people don't need to waste 40 minutes googling around ?
Late to the party, but you can download v24.4 installer like the good old day here. It will update itself to v25.x and everything works as expected. Also a big ef'u Google.
Update 2021-07 : This tool does not offer build tools version >= 30 and won't show newer packages anymore
