Standalone-Android-Sdk-Manager

  • If you have been using the Sdk Manager that is included with Android Studio, this should look and feel pretty familiar. :D


Getting Started

  • Download and Install the latest Release
  • Unzip the folder contents.
  • Run setup.exe

you may get a warning, because the cert used to sign is not widely known.

If this is too risky for you, there is always the option to clone the repo, and build the exe on your own system :D

Prerequisites

This Program requires the Android SDK Command Line Tools and the Java JDK

★ Already have a valid Sdk installed and Java JDK?

  • You are done :D

★ Don't have a valid JDK installed?

  • Go download Java JDK and install it. (For Windows)

    • After installation add Java to your PATH
    • More information about adding Java to PATH can be found here

★ Don't have a valid Sdk installed?

  • Go download Android Sdk Command Line Tools. (For windows)

    • Create a root Sdk folder somewhere that is easy to find C:\\ is a good place.
    • Extract the zip file to that root Sdk folder.
    • Folder structure should be C:\\Sdk\tools (if you chose C:\\)
    • Folder structure is important for this to work, since you will need to navigate to the root Sdk folder within the application, It will then look in \tools\bin\ for the sdkmanager.bat file that is included with the command-line tools.

Notes:

  • I named the root folder Sdk, the name does not matter. Additionally, this folder can be inside any other folder. The important part is that you know which is the root.

  • A common structure is C:\\Android\Sdk\ or C:\\Android-Sdk\ as the root folder name.

  • It is preferable (but not necessary) that C:\\Sdk\tools has been added to your PATH.

  • More info about adding to your PATH can be found here

  • If contributing, be sure to have git installed.

Usage

  • After installing, and upon the first run, you will need to navigate to your Sdk root folder.
  • If you had previously used Android Studio to install the Sdk, the default location is:
    • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk
    • aka: C:\\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
  • The program will automatically populate the Sdk field with this info, if it is not where your Sdk is installed, you will need to manually navigate to your Sdk location.
  • You should only need to do this once, as the program will save the location.
  • Now you can use the UI to manage your Sdk.
    • Install new packages and tools
    • Uninstall old packages
    • Update current packages
    • etc.
