Android SDK Manager gets stuck repeatedly during boot

Question

Possible duplicate:
Android SDK and AVD manager stuck

This is not the same as some other SDK manager errors that people have already posted to SO. Others have posted permission issues, and sometimes someone runs into some kind of database error.

In my case, the progress bar will simply stop updating, and all this will just sit there endlessly, even overnight, without an error message. Oh, and it cannot be undone. When this happens, there is no pattern, and when not. I resorted to installing each individual package individually, and even then it freezes in about 50% of cases, and I need to restart the manager process. He just froze while I typed this sentence.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Edit: I only realized that on my old machine I had to check the box "Force https: // sources that will be extracted using http: //", but on this machine I was not yet forced to do this. Perhaps this has something to do with it.

Answer 1

After unchecking the "Force https: // sources that will be retrieved using http: //" in the Settings view, I was able to download many updates without problems. It was only 6 updates, but some of them were quite large, and the whole process took a couple of hours.

So, I'm going to conditionally mark this as an answer, so in the future it will be possible to call it SO-users. But if anyone else has this problem, please try my solution and post a comment saying it worked.

Answer 2

Uncheck "Force https: // sources that will be retrieved using http: //" also solved the problem for me.

Answer 3

Solution that worked for me:

I copy this answer from http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=21773

Steps:

• stop and close sdk manager

• go to the URL http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/android/repository/repository.xml , which was obtained from the action log in sdk manager

• <sdk:url>addon_samsung_GT_2.2_api-8_r01.zip</sdk:url> copy the zip file from the xml doc url field (addon_samsung_GT_2.2_api-8_r01.zip) and replace the repository.xml file with the name of the zip file. URL should be:

  http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/android/repository/addon_samsung_GT_2.2_api-8_r01.zip

• paste the url into your browser and upload the file

• copy the file to the folder C: \ Program Files \ Android \ android-sdk \ temp

• run sdk manager and select the galaxy Tab api tab again and select install, it will not try to download and unzip the file immediately.

I think this would be the same for other unsuccessful apis, docs, etc.

Answer 4

I had the same problem in my windows 7 x64 window. To make it work, I booted my computer into safe mode using the network. In safe mode, I was able to download eclipse and use the adk manager to install everything.
