Is GUI for Android SDK manager gone?

Question

I rarely do something for Android so I\'m a bit confused. While back there were two type of installations - Android Studio and just Android SDK. I have IDEA so I don\'t need

Answer 1

Here is the link for download android sdk with GUI for windows, linux and mac:

Uncompressing and put the folder named tools inside androidsdk directory, search for android.bat: it's open GUI in windows.

Download packages and develop apps.

Answer 2

I am sorry for bumping a necropost. But I have just released a simple Android SDK GUI. Maybe this little weekend project could save some people from headache of using sdkmanager command line or downloading android-tools twice.

You could check my project at AndroidGUI.

Fork as you please or better yet send me PR. Any help would be very much appreciated.

PS: It would be very useful if somebody could point me to the latest sdklib-*.jar source code. So that I could interface with Android SDK directly.

Answer 3

From the command line, just type

tools/android sdk

and the usual GUI for the Android SDK will be prompted.

Hope this helps

Answer 4

Officially GUI is gone, but pleasant people saved the last of it for us: installer_r24.4.1-windows.exe

According for this announcment Google doesn't intend to support ADT pluging for Eclipse since June 2015, and so as GUI for ADT at all. They explain the decision with an entire switching to Android Studio. There are no links on official Android sources where to download last GUI version, because they find it as having potential security bugs.

So you have chance to download the last saved version, till the link will not be changed. If it already happened try to search by tag.

Thank to Losin' Me for links:

• Windows (No installer): dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-windows.zip
• Mac OS X: dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-macosx.zip
• Linux: dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz

Found on web.archive.org

Answer 5

For all Windows users: I just made a "porting" of the old GUI executables...

although porting is a big word, I just changed the executable so it would read andoid_gui.bat instead of android.bat, and added that file and some required libs (although I think only archquery.jar is needed, I also put sdkmanager.jar, sdkstats.jar and sdkuilib.jar; it seems to work even without them so let me know if they are not needed)

Just extract it in the SDK directory
