Unity can't find Android SDK

In Android Studio in the SDK manager the path to the SDK is listed under D:\Programs\AndroidSDK2, I copied the path into Unity but it still can't find the Android SDK. I realise similar threads have been made suggesting that you put a path similar to C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Android into Unity, but I already tried with that path and that also didn't work. I get the following error:

CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to list target platforms. Please make sure the android sdk path is correct. See the Console for more details.

Is it because it's on the D: drive? I really don't want to put it on my C: drive if it can be at all avoided because it's getting pretty full.

 

Thank you, following these steps worked, although for anyone reading this I could not find the Android tools folder on the download page specified in the issue tracker, but I found them quickly enough by googling them.

 

Android Build Not Working

My Unity project contains a Main Camera, Directional Light and a Cube and i am trying to build this into an apk installer for Android without any success for the last TWO WEEKS. I've did Android apk builds previously in Unity 5 but the current version of Unity just doesn't work. What is going wrong????

Information

I have Unity Version: 2017.3.0f3 Personal
I have Android Studio 3.1 Installed. I have installed system images and Platforms for API 22.

In the Player build settings within Unity i have specified
Minimum API Level: Android 5.1'Lollipo' (API level 22)
Target API Level: Android 5.1 'Lollipop' (API level 22)

For Edit/Preferences/ExternalTools, in Unity i have

SDK PATH
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

JDK PATH
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.4\

I have tried jdk1.7.0_25 no success

NDK PATH:
C:\Users\UserName\Downloads\android-ndk-r13b-windows-x86_64\android-ndk-r13b

When i attempt to build the project i get the message

Newest JDK (9) won't work.:
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...jdk-and-unable-to-list-target-platforms-error
If you have java JDK9, downgrade to JDK8.

 

I will wait for Unity to be compatible with JDK9. For now at least my project is working on Unity 5.

 

You're going to be waiting for a very long time. This isn't a problem with Unity. This is a problem with Android itself. Android only fully supports JDK 7 with a subset implementation of JDK 8. Android has no support for JDK 9 at all.

I tried moving to Java 8 and I am still getting the same issues of not being able to find the SDK

Try telling Unity in the Preferences to use the Android SDK that Unity provides (recommended).
Using an SDK from elsewhere, even the official one with Android Studio, seems to cause trouble.

 

Ive used unity to install the android package from unity for my version of unity but unity still doesnt find it when i build. I think it has something to do with hub that has installed itself in 2 places, it wont recognize the android package i just installed. hub is sketchy.

 

Hi, I'm completely stuck with this issue too.

I'm using Unity 2019.2.13, even if I've the same problem with 2019.2.16, anyway when I open whatever Android project (both existing or brand new), I've this warning first:

Failed getting available Android API levels. Could not find Android SDK Tools.

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:179)

Then, when I try to build it, I have a "Unable to locate Android SDK" error:



When I close the dialog, I've these errors:

UnityException: Android SDK not found

Unable to locate Android SDK.

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:179)

Build completed with a result of 'Failed'

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:179)

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:179)

By default, in my preferences I've the "SDK/JDK/NDK installed with Unity" options checked, anyway the error doesn't disappear even if I use a path to another SDK folder, both from different Unity version I've installed or from Android Studio installation.

In my thousand attempts I managed to build the apk just once, in 2019.2.13 editor, just using the SDK path to the 2019.3.0 folder, but after that the error came back.

I also tried to reinstall Unity 2019.2.13, to switch to 2019.2.16 and to delete the Library folder in my project (but as already said, the error pops up even on a brand new Android project) without any success.

I'm attaching two editor logs, the first is when I opened the project after unistalling/reinstalling Unity and trying to build, the second is the log I've at every build attempt.

Hope someone can help me with this issue that is completely blocking me.

 

Hi, and thank you for your answer.

I saw that error and already tried to create such a file, and I tried again right now (text file with name and extension changed to "repositories.cfg") but it didn't solve the issue.



The first log happens just once, when I uninstall and install the editor again, then launching the first build. From then on, at avery build attempt I've just the second log with the Android SDK error.

 

Yes, it happens with every SDK path, both from different Unity installation or Android Studio.

Anyway, in the end I managed to build an apk without errors, but in a very twisted and unstable way. I'm listing the steps I followed, maybe it can help to better understand it.

As I said, adding the file repositories.cfg in the android folder didn't solve the issue so, after creating the file, I unistalled and installed Unity again, then when I tried to build I'd the log in attachment, with a "Can't find C:/Program Files/2019.2.13f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer\SDK\tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat". So:

- First I copied/pasted sdkmanager.bat in the above folder, picking it from a working Unity installation on another pc.

- This time Unity finds the SDK but can't find the NDK, so I'd to copy the whole content of folder C:\Program Files\2019.2.13f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\NDK\android-ndk-r16b" in the parent folder "...\NDK".

Following these steps the build had success but, even so, if I close the editor and open the project again, the file sdkmanager.bat is somehow deleted, so I've to copy/paste it again in the above folder, otherwise the SDK issue pops up again.

Hope it can help to find a more rational solution.

 

went through all your repro steps, didnt change for me, i still get unable to locate ndk
im on 2019.2.1f1
i also have this now...

UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow+BuildMethodException: 2 errors

UnityEngine.GUIUtilityrocessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

im dead in the water. Ive been at this for 5 days straight and cant get past it...

 

The problem with the NDK is usually easier to solve than the SDK issue, I met it a couple of times and as I said I solved it just copying the whole content in the parent root, following some hints from other users. So, your NDK folder should look like this:



Anyway, mine was just a makeshift, and in the end I didn't solve the SDK issue at all, so I'm still stuck with it.

At least, in my case I believe the root of the problem is that for some unknown reason the file sdkmanager.bat is automatically erased from the "...\SDK\tools\bin\" folder, giving rise to the errors chain. No matter how many times I paste it again in the "tools\bin" folder, I can see it disappear in a second. It is automatically deleted even if I copy it on the desktop, while I can copy it in a subfolder created by me with no problem at all.

I guess it's some sort of security/permissions problem related to the potentially dangerous nature of a bat file, but anyway if I copy it in the aforesaid folders with its name changed (i.e. "sdkmanager_.bat") it's not deleted, so it seems strictly related with its file name.

I hope some other forum user or Unity guy can give us some more hints, it's two days I'm completely blocked on this.

 

I tried to update Unity to 2019.2.17 but it's useless.

At first build, it failed and the file sdkmanager.bat from the installation disappeared again, then I tried anyway to make a build but it failed again because of the NDK not found. I made the usual copy/paste in the NDK folder and this time the build succedeed.

After that, I closed and opened the editor to check if the issue was definitely gone, but the build failed again. Then I pasted the sdkmanager.bat in the "...SDK/tools/bin" - where it was previously deleted - and, who knows why, this time it's not deleted (so far), but the build failed anyway with a different error:

I attached a new full editor log about this last build.

It's a nightmare...

 

Tried a new 2019.2.13 install, the issue with the "vanishing" sdkmanager.bat seems to be stopped, anyway the Android builds still fail with the following error:

Errore: impossibile trovare o caricare la classe principale com.android.sdklib.tool.SdkManagerCli

The Player Settings/API levels just display "Getting API levels...". I've Java 8 update 231 installed.
I'm also attaching the full editor log of my last build attempt.

Please, give us some sign of life...

 

Issues with this are all over the forums. Unity has to be on top of it, that's all i can hope. if i make any headway ill let you know, if you figure something out, please let me know as well.

 

In my case a newly setup Windows 10 PC seemed to cause the problem as it had environment variables set.

For me these 2 videos took me on the right track (although they refer to Winows 7 and 8):

I set the variables:
JDK_HOME
JAVA_HOME
ANDROID_HOME
SDK_HOME
NDK_HOME

But I think already the first 3 variables did the trick.

In my case apart from that Unity Remote wasn't working. This fixed it:
https://answers.unity.com/questions/1628598/set-up-android-sdk-path-to-make-android-remote-wor.html

I mention that because the problems seem to be related...

Good luck!

 

I am getting the sdk problem as well and Unity is unable to detect the sdk. Is there any solution yet? I am using Unity 2018 and a sdk from android studio

 

Yeah I found out. Apparently thy didn't include the tools file so I downloaded that manually. Why is tools obsolete in the first place?

 

I have been trying to set up Unity 2018 LTS with Android, and I just could NOT get it working (under Catalina), no matter what permissions or xattr or chmod or sudo or whatever I did with the SDK/NDK.

In fact, this entire process proved to be one of the most infuriating problems I've dealt with when integrating Android and Unity. Yes, it was more infuriating even than Gradle, if that's even possible. It's ESPECIALLY infuriating because the SDK works 100% with Gradle and Android Studio, but not with Unity. Unity just silently fails to agree that you've given it a valid SDK directory. And yes, I tried installing obsolete tools too, but that did not help.

What I ultimately ended up doing after dozens of installs and uninstalls, since none of the workarounds actually worked on Catalina, was this:

- installed Unity2019, which includes tickmarks under the Android module to install NDK and SDK (check these boxes before installing 2019)

- installed Unity2018 and switched to Android, then ignored its attempts to find the SDK, since they just do not work. Closed Unity2018.

Next I opened this preferences file (Mac) in XCode:

~/Library/Preferences/com.unity3d.UnityEditor5.x.plist

and then hand-pasted the SDK paths in there.

The keys you want are:

AndroidSdkRoot

and

AndroidNdkRootR16b

Set the SDK to the SDK that lives underneath Unity 2019, in my case:

/Applications/Unity/Hub/Editor/2019.2.17f1/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/SDK

I set the NDK to the r16b build I downloaded.

Finally, do a chmod -w on that plist file to keep Unity from screwing it up every time you close Unity.

 

This should totally go into the docs. I tried 3 hours since there are no hints to what Unity is actually looking for and accidentally saw this here.

 

I a issue with the remote controll.
I use Unity 2019.3 with the recommended SDK but get the Error
Set-up Android SDK path to make Android remote work in Unity
Do anyone know the solution?

 

It's not so much why is tools obsolete, but why is Unity relying on obsolete components like tools to identify the SDK and use it? Shouldn't the Unity Editor have been updated to be compatible with the stable releases so that this kerfuffle doesn't happen?

This is the solution to Unity not recognising the SDK, by the way - go to Android Studio edit preferences sdk manager, de-select "hide obsolete" and select "show detail", then expand the level 26 sdk and select the "tools" for installation, apply, ok, and boom, your sdk location will be recognised by Unity!

 

First off, +1 for correctly spelling that word. I always forget and put an L after the first F...

Second, thanks for the pointer to the 26 tools. At least THAT should be clearly documented anywhere one could turn to do this, like, oh, maybe in the Unity installer!

Feature request... nay, make that a feature DEMAND to Unity: How about when I tick the install Android checkbox in the installer, Unity puts up a dialog box (copy-paste-able!!!!) and tells me RIGHT IN MY FACE exactly what steps I have to do, what obsolete tools are needed, etc. This has wasted a metric buttload of my time, and I'm just one Unity user. This sorta lossage multiplies across the entire worldwide community and leaves a nasty bad-tasting stain on what people think about Unity.

I really like Unity and want it to succeed! At least fix the easy stuff, please!

 

This solved it for me! Thanks
