Error message: Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 22.6.1 or higher

Question

I recently encountered the following error:

The strangest thing is that I just updated some package from sdk via working eclipse. There was no information or warning that after this update the current hell failed. I checked the latest updates and did not find the new adt even on google page. Even the new adb contains the old adt.

From http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/tools-notes.html :

Dependencies: Android SDK Platform-tools version 18 or later. if you are developing in Eclipse with ADT, please note that this version of the SDK Tools is intended for use with ADT 22.6.1 and later. If you do not already have the ADT plugin updated to 22.6.1.

The only solution is to download a new standalone eclipse and an external plugin for it? Does Android Studio have the same problems?

Environment: linux x64.

Answer 1

Today, one of my friends and I had the same problem, so I tried a lot of things like restarting eclipse , checking for updates , etc., but no one worked for me.

Then I found a solution from here , and it works like a charm for me as well as for my friend.

Follow these steps:

• Launch Eclipse, then choose Help> Install New Software.
• Click "Add" in the upper right corner.

• In the "Add Repository" dialog box that appears, enter "ADT Plugin" for Name and the following URL for the location:

  https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

• Click OK.

If you are having trouble purchasing the plugin, try using "http" in the location url instead of "https" (https is preferred for security reasons).

• In the Available Software dialog box, check the box next to Developer Tools and click Next.
• In the next window, you will see a list of tools to download. Click Next. Read and accept the license agreements, then click Finish.
• If you receive a security warning stating that the authenticity or validity of the software cannot be ascertained, click OK.
• When the installation is complete, restart Eclipse.

Answer 2

I reported this error yesterday. The solution is to use the help → Installing new software with the httpS: // protocol (important s ). No special downloads or reinstallations are required, just select the correct update site.

Answer 3

The problem is that the default update site in Android ADT

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

but this site is not updating correctly

And this solution adds a new installation site with https protocol

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

Click "Help" → "Install New Software" → "Add"

And use this site to update ADT

Answer 4

To solve this problem, here I looked at steps that will certainly help you.

Follow these steps:

• Help | Install new software

• Select the ADT update site (there are two, one with http: // and one with https: // If it does not work, try the other.

• Select the developer tools section and click next.

• You should see a dialog box saying that "this software is already installed, an update will be performed instead." Pressing the ok button will install 22.6.1.

Update 03/27/2014

They released 22.6.2 and fixed this problem, so upgrade your ADT to the new version.

You can see this topic: Unable to upgrade from ADT 22.3.0. until 22.6.1

Answer 5

You can go to Window-> Android SDK Manager and check which version you have. In my case, this shows that I already have the 22.6.1 toolkit installed , but still get an error . If you already have it or not, you can do the following to fix it.

• Go to Help-> Install New Software . In the dialog box shown below, click the "Add" button at the top right.
• Paste " https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ " into the Location. You can call it anything.
• Click OK and follow the dialog by clicking Next.
• If you are prompted to send a message, you already have it, just agree that it will be updated (or installed if it was not there).

This should solve the problem. source: http://codewriterstips.blogspot.nl

if your sdk for Android will be old. you must download the new Android sdk file from developer.android.com and copy some nececary folder to it.
