    Working on my first mobile game in unity. A simple flappy bird clone to get used to the workflow. The first step is to add the Android SDK and Java JDK.
    So I've downloaded both yet they wont configure with unity when i goto Unity > prefences > extended tools (Im on a mac btw running Yosemite).

    When I downloaded the android SDK it was a zip file named "Tools" I selected it pressed choose and nothing happens the window just refreshes. Apparently i should be looking in my library for a folder named Android which has the SDK but theres no such file.

    With JDK i have no idea whats wrong. The directory is right: Library > Java > JavaVirtualMachines > JDK1.8.0_121.jdk
    But i still get an error reading "the path you specified does nit look like a valid JDK installation."

    This is really confusing. The error for JDK also says that Android dev requires atleast JDK 7 but i have version 8. Is this a unity upgrade problem? Im still using unity 5.4.

    Im a complete noob so any idea as to what my problem is is appreciated

    there should be software that you open to update the sdk, then you have to set its path, then install jdk, set the path, and let unity know where to find the tools folder.

    I had a time finding a legitimate link: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-macosx.zip

    Replace your current Android/sdk/tools folder with the link above and it tries to build. I'm still having some problems with incompatibilities with Java versions and such...

    EDIT:
    I was receiving: CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to build apk. UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI()
    So, I could NOT use Java SE 9.0 SDK.. I had to use jdk1.8.0_151.jdk
    AND IT FINALLY RAN!!!! Sweet Baby Jesus!!!!
