Android SDK manager not opening

Question

I downloaded and installed the Android SDK ADT Bundle from the official website. When I want to start the SDK Manager a window appears:

Initializing... the SDK manager will show up shortly

Then the window disappears and nothing happens. No error messages, nothing. I tried also with installing eclipse and then adding the Android SDK, but the same thing happens.

Could someone help me?

I have Ubuntu 13.10

Solution

to make sure the SDK works by itself, open up terminal. Then go to the sdk-directory/tools and run sdk manager by typing "./android". If you see the similar thing you have right now, you must be missing some requirements like java. Read the section. Hope it helps you. :)

I tried it but I got an error message that is too long to put in a comment.

can you tell me what exactly you tried? And you can paste the error message on online link

Ok, here it is link I tried to run the SDK manager to run from terminal and I got this error message.

[clouddreams]

it seems like someone already had your problem, a quick search gave this link. It can be solved by making a symbolic link to the correct library path. Here, eclipse swt libraries. Pls let me know :)

[zbarni]

Well. I tried it and the link was created. But it didn't worked. I searched for the link file in nautilus and I tried to open it. A messagebox appeared that said: "The link “libswt-” is broken. Move it to Trash?" and "This link cannot be used because its target “/usr/lib/jni/libswt-” doesn't exist." I checked and the folder /usr/lib/jni really didn't exist. I hope you can find the answer.

Ah, no folder at all, meaning they aren't installed in the first place. So install those swt libraries by sudo apt-get install libswt-gtk-3-jni libswt-gtk-3-java. And try doing the symbolic link thing again. I love to help, don't worry.

Is java path set up correctly? which java. And is yr system 32 or 64 bits? If it's 64 bits, install 32 bit libraries too by sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ia32-libs. Let me know.

[clouddreams]

also install openjdk7 instead of 6

[zbarni]

My system is 32 bits and I already have openjdk7. I executed the command which java in terminal and I got the following usr/bin/java.

[clouddreams]

hmm, that's mostly the checks I know. Just to be safe, install the libraries sudo apt-get install ia32-libs. Then if it doesn't work, I found this on google sudo mount -o remount,exec /tmp.

After i remounted it worked, it finally did. Thanks a lot.
