brew cask install android-sdk

Question

I’m having problem to install android sdk (brew cask install android-idk) on Mac OS X. I tried to install it for nativescript. I read on people that had the same problem but i couldn't find working solution. I tried to change the java path maybe it cause the issue.

this is the error I get:

==> Caveats
We will install android-sdk-tools, platform-tools, and build-tools for you.
You can control android sdk packages via the sdkmanager command.
You may want to add to your profile:
  'export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/usr/local/share/android-sdk'

This operation may take up to 10 minutes depending on your internet connection.
Please, be patient.

Solution

This is what docs say and you can give it a try -

Solution 1 -

Install the dependencies for Android development.

Install JDK 8 or a later stable official release.

• Go to Java SE Downloads and click Download for JDK.
• In the Java SE Development Kit section, accept the license agreement and click the download link for Mac macOS.
• Wait for the download to complete and install the JDK.
• Set the JAVA_HOME system environment variable.
• export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home) Install the Android SDK.

Run the following commands in the Terminal:

• brew cask install android-sdk

Next, run the following command to set the ANDROID_HOME system environment variable:

• export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/share/android-sdk

NOTE: This is the directory that contains the tools and platform-tools directories. In addition, install all packages for the Android SDK Platform 25, Android SDK Build-Tools 25.0.2 or later, Android Support Repository, Google Repository and any other SDKs that you may need. You can alternatively use the following command, which will install all required packages.

• $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager

"tools" "platform-tools" "platforms;android-25" "build-tools;25.0.2" "extras;android;m2repository" "extras;google;m2repository" Setup Android Emulators (AVD) by following the article here
