Unity Hub not installing Android SDK correctly?

I just did a clean install of 2019.2.2f1 via Unity Hub, including the Android Build Support module (SDK + NDK and OpenJDK).

When I open my project and try to build for Android, I get an 'Unable to locate Android SDK.' error. Looking in the logs, it seems like it has no problem finding the JDK, however.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing the editor alone, then adding the Android modules separately, but I received the same error when I try to build.

If I look in Preferences -> External Tools 'Android SDK Tools Installed with Unity' is checked and it does seem to recognize the SDK. If I uncheck this and try to manually point it to %PROGRAMFILES%\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.2.2f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK, I get 'Unable to detect SDK in the selected directory.'

Am I missing something? Are there additional steps needed to install the Android SDK via Unity Hub?

 

@safaGH I'm on 2019.2.4f1 (Windows) and the issue is still available

 

@safaGH I'm on 2019.3.0f3 (Linux) and the issue is still available

 

2019.3.0f6, Windows, issue still occurring.

 

2019.3.0f6, same problem

 

I got it to work. However it was a bit of a hassle so I recorded a video.

 

2019.3.0f6, same problem

 

same problem 2019.3.0 and 2019.3.1f1. Using latest Unity Hub. Installed fresh 2019.3.1 hoping to get the files from there for 2019.3.0. Im on win10
@safaGH For these events, it'd be helpful you publish the relevant recommended versions to use so we can download/install them ourselves, otherwise it's quite a guess work
I have tried setting path for JDK with packages jdk 1.8.0_172,_181,_192,_241 and all give red warning not installed with unity and use the hub or provide custom location

 

I was having trouble figuring out how to load the SDKs from the Hub as Unity said I should. Then I realized that in the Add Modules section, next to Android Build Support it wasn't good enough to just check that box. You have to actually expand that section with the little arrow and then manually also check the two boxes to install the Android tools!
Once I did that, I was able to build with no problem.

Maybe this is obvious to everybody else, but it escaped me for a while and was frustrating.

 

For the lost soul looking high and low for how to do this on Windows (I know, not this thread, but I searched everywhere and found this thread and nowhere found answers) https://forum.unity.com/threads/set...or-unity-2018-4-18f1-lts.838015/#post-5549776

 

Hi guys, the same issue persists with me on MAC. The problem is I am almost completely new to Unity and this is such a huge head-ache. I tried installing them seperately and through the HUB. I am really frustrated as this has been impending progress for 3 days now.
It seems to be able to locate JDK but can't find NDK and SDK and I can't open them manually through External Tools as it says INVALID ANDROID DIRECTORY - unable to find ndk in directory. Same goes for SDK. Please advice!

 

Still occuring on Hub 2.3.0 and Unity2019.3.4f1
I found this installment(include SDK+NDK and OpenJDK) will be OK when I installing Unity
BUT after that, I still can not build Android in Build Settings dialog, it show a download button, after downloading UnitySetup-Android-Support-for-Editor-2019.3.4f1.exe this file, but this installment will remove and delete all files in Unity\2019.3.4f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer folder and install itself files, so I think this is a mistake loop forerver, you install sdk but no support for editor, you install support for editor but no sdk

 

God bless you man!!

 

You made my day!! thank you!

 

I am encountering the same problem and I am using: Unity Hub 2.3.0 and Unity 2019.2.13f1

 

I have unity hub version 2.3.1 and it's still showing corrupt download files. Also I tried downloading unity without hub but SDK and ndk gets missing. Even after adding them in the unity folder, it is not working. Any help

 

@codemonkk
I am also facing same issue from last three days. tried many things to get rid of this.
But still no luck.

Can anybody from Unity Team look into this issue.

Steps to reproduce issue:-
1)Working on window 8.1.
2)Installed Unity Hub 2.3.1
3)Added module Android platform with android sdkn ndk checked , visual stdio
4)It is unable to find android sdk in unity preference(error message:you are not using recommanded version of android sdk)

 

First day back on unity in 8 years. I came to this problem.

Managed to figure it out and fixed it.

If anyone needs info on how let me know, as it was quite simple in the end.

 

Or, instead of teasing us with the solution, just write the solution?

 

What is it ? a secret need IAP ?

 

I have tried installing the latest (2019.3.14f1) and an older version (2019.3.7f1) of Unity and am being told I am missing Android SDK and JDK in the former and JDK in the latter


. I have checked the boxes in the install modules section but they don't install. After install has finished they continue to show the amount of space they need rather than "installed" - any ideas?

thanks

 

can you supply more info on how to do this
thanks

 

Unity says I need to install JDK and NDK via UnityHub but I didn't see where that was possible until you mentioned it here. Thanks man!

 

i did download the checked these boxes, still I'm getting SDK MISSING error. In the middle of nowhere, I got this error. Prior to this, it was working fine.

 

Same here.. Unity Hub 2.3.2 is broken, fails to open - when it does open it looks like it works but when you try to install unity it crashes and runs in the background. If you do get an installer running you can't remove the broken links to the Android SDK. Everything was working but now can cant export anything for android on any installer.

 

unity hub keep doing it to me too, I'm on Unity 2019.4.1f1. Is there a way to manually install it in the right destination?

 

On Catalina 10.15.5

Clean install of 2019.4.2f1 using hub 2.3.2 having clicked android as a platform and including the android sdk and java in the check boxes below.
I added a cube to the middle of the SampleScene, played the game and everything worked as expected.
In build settings, I set the platform to android and added the SampleScene.

The build returned the following error:
Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory using BuildScopeServices.createScriptPluginFactory().

UnityEngine.GUIUtilityrocessEvent(Int32, IntPtr) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:197)
> Could not create service of type FileHasher using BuildSessionScopeServices.createFileSnapshotter().

UnityEngine.GUIUtilityrocessEvent(Int32, IntPtr) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:197)

I made this as "out of the box" and "vanilla" as I could, but the android build does not work.

Any ideas?

 

Has this been fixed yet? What's the status? I

 

I'm having this problem too. Unity Hub 2.3.2. Clicking the 3 dots doesn't show Install Modules, I just spent probably around half an hour installing Unity 2019.4.4f1, and chose Android SDK, and it doesn't look like it is installed.

Ok, I went to \Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer, i was able to find it, and it has files in it. But it's still not regestering it in Unity. I even downloaded the Command Line SDK from Android Studio, selected the folder with sdkmanager in it, and it still wouldn't work, it would say;"Unable to detect SDK in the selected directory", and then gives 2 paths, slightly different, and says Neither [PATH 1] nor [PATH 2] exists.

 

I fixed this by going to into the Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer and deleting the openJDK file, then adding the module again.

 

Yes, I confirm that is what I did to fix the issue when installing unity for the first time on a new computer that never saw unity before then. Now it appears is working fine when adding new versions.

 

I already have all the ABS/A/SDK&NDK/OJDK yet...

 

@Enumerator_T
About your error messages.
When you click one of them, for example: "Command InvokationFailure: failed to update Android SDK package list" you should be able to see whole command/message with maybe more detailed error.
Maybe something about missing permissions or network problem etc.
Do you see anything useful when you click that message?

 

I found out what the problem was, untick the SDK and add a / at the end and then build.

 

PS sometimes it requires you to remove the forward slash, i think this is build based, and they literally ignore file structure of the installed SDK and don't know how to enumerate it to validate it as an SDK automatically, C'mon unity, You're meant to be on the top of the ball these days with all these builds you're pushing, still pushing bugs!

 

Hola el problema lo resolví copiando los archivos de una versión anterior de unity en mi caso 2019.4.2f PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\ , pegando los archivos de SDK y NDK.

Después de revisar me di cuenta que en la carpeta NDK no existe nada y en la SDK faltan archivos.

 

This error is so annoying, I am still facing it in Unity 2019.3.13 in Windows when building for Android, please Unity fix this!

 

Unity 2019.4.8
When I start the editor I get an error "To use the “java” command-line tool you need to install a JDK.".
The OpenJDK module is installed in Unity HUB.

 

unity hub 2.3.2 is becoming a complete waste these days..
i used it on windows 10. tried to install 2019.4.9lts version using unity hub,
installation was too slow. like a cmd window apeared for almost 2 hours. lastly i quit. and checked with unity and my 2019 file was working .. but at build process i got the same error "you are missing the recommended android sdk tools. install using unity hub unity". i haved check all the sdk and ndk at time of adding modules.... so whats the problem....

 

I have unity 2020.1.3f1 installed, which is where I also installed the android SDK and JDK. For some reason unity hub made my project use unity 2019.2.6f1, for which I don't have these packages installed. Changing the project to use the correct unity version worked for me.

 

using Unity 2020.1.6f1 - Hub 2.4.0 - Linux (Mint).
have installed all android related packages via the hub. No error messages, however in the build menu "No Android module loaded." Heading over to (unity install folder)/2020.1.6f/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/ results in NDK, OpenJDK, and SDK folders filled. That's it. I've seen screenshots where people have Data, Source, Tools, modules.asset files and folders, but none of those are on this device.
(unity install folder)/2020.1.6f/Editor/Data/BuildTargetTools/AndroidPlayer/ is an empty folder - but I don't know if it's used.
Now that manually installing & assigning Android APK and such has been removed - please fix this. (Still doesn't work on 2020.2.0b2)
If anybody from unity is reading this: thanks for dark mode on personal now!

 

Unable to find the Android SDK manager tool. Required Android packages (extra-google-m2repository, extra-android-m2repository) can not be installed. Android SDK path not set. Set the Android SDK property using the Unity "Edit > Preferences > External Tools" menu option on Windows or the "Unity > Preferences > External Tools" menu option on OSX. Alternatively, set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable

GooglePlayServices.PlayServicesResolver:Resolve(Action)
GooglePlayServices.PlayServicesResolver:AutoResolve()
UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions()

I'm getting this in the following LTS versions: 2017, 2018, 2019. At Unity startup and after apk build which is successful. I can't remove it, even with older tools or new 26.1.1.

 

issues is still occurring btw,
I installed 2020.2.0b6 with all the android boxes ticked in hub and it is failing when making an android build, saying sdk level is 0 and it needs 26.
Checking editor preferences the external paths look correct and all the usual android player files and folders are as expected in C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2020.2.0b6\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\

 

still occurring please someone help stuck on this for 2 days

 

@safaGH Is anybody reading this thread? A lot of people are running into this issue and we still have no resolution or even instructions on how to fix it from the dev team.

I'm using Unity Hub 2.4.2 and it says "Android Build Support" is installed.



But when you look at the folders, 2018.4 DOES NOT install the SDK or NDK or OpenJDK folders:

 

Will this work for windows?
