Failed to get the required ADT version number from the

Question

Yesterday I tried to install ADT plugin to Eclipse, but when I restarted it I found the next screen:

When I click on "Open SDK Manager", I see something loading but after waiting it doesn't open anything:

After that this dialogue closes and I don't see anything else of Android

PS: Ignore the code behind.

Solution 1

you upgrade Android Studio to 2.3? in console D:\Programas\AppData\Local\Android\SDK\tools\traceview.bat This error is caused by the lack of traceview.bat files,download traceview.bat,and places to the file into your SDK\tools

Solution 2

Please download a new SDK for Eclipse，Android Studio use another. Hope to help you！

See Eclipse: Failed to get the required ADT version number from the SDK

Download Old Version SDK

• https://dl.google.com/android/installer_r24.4.1-windows.exe
• https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-windows.zip
• https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-macosx.zip
• https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz

Solution 3

1. Download earlier version of SDK tools (https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r24.4.1-windows.zip). Replace suffix -windows with -macosx or -linux to get packages for other platforms.
2. Unpack to sdk-eclipse directory, you'll have following directory structure sdk-eclipse/tools/ .
3. Run android.bat from tools directory and download required platforms and build tools. Be careful NOT TO UPDATE SDK TOOLS!
4. Change Android SDK directory in Eclipse (Windows->Preferences->Android, SDK Location) to your new directory "sdk-eclipse".

Solution 4

I have fixed this issues by a few steps:

Download this: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.1-windows.zip

Then go to your SDK folder path. in my case my android SDK are stored here:

C:\Users\[COMPUTER NAME]\android-sdks\

Rename "tools" to "tools backup"

Extract the tools_r25.2.1-windows.zip, copy and put into the android SDK folder

Restart the Eclipse

Caused: The tools file can be changed if you install latest Android studio

Solution 5

1.Download the sdk file from this link.

2.Unzip it.

3.Place this two file into: /Users/computer_name/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/ or you can place it your desire place.

4. Then open eclipse IDE.

5. Go to the Windows->preferences->change the sdk location.

6. And place the location where the sdk located. Example: if you store those two file in /Users/computer_name/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/ the set the location -> /Users/computer_name/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/sdk.

note:Here sdk/sdk because you store downloaded two file - sdk file & SDK Manager into the sdk file.

Happy Coding :)

Dude... now I see the message two times gyazo.com/2d4665d791ebe64aa28f7612e3f1f522 in both i have the same result clicking on "Open SDK Manager"

[SupineDread89]

I see this in console: [2017-03-10 12:02:43 - DDMS] DDMS files not found: D:\Programas\AppData\Local\Android\SDK\tools\traceview.bat

Restart your system and try again. If the same error shown. Your sdk location must be changed. In Strange case Disk have no space to store the plugin.

[SupineDread89]

The store is not a problem, I restarted the system twice, i think you are right to change the sdk location, how can i do this?

[sivaprakash]

Select Window->Preference->Android> Sdk Location and then change you Directory

[SupineDread89]

do you think that if I configure the SDK manager from Android studio it could work with eclipse?. I changed the SDK location and I still the same message

[SupineDread89]

Solved, i changed the sdk location, i used other sdk

[SupineDread89]

I did and ir worked I changed muy SDK location yo one diferent oh android studio SDK. Thanks

Where did you find the "other sdk"? I tried copying/pasting but it didn't work. Do I have to install it again? Where can I find the sdk to be installed? It seems like now it always comes with Android Studio, both together.

[sivaprakash]

You can Download the sdk form developer.android.com/sdk/older_releases.html

Where can I find the latest SDK that works with Eclipse?

[Yonatan Nir]

Where can I find the latest SDK that works with Eclipse? That link contains versions only as far as 2009

Where can I find the latest SDK that works with Eclipse?

[Yonatan Nir]

It doesnt solve the issue of getting the message of the "failed getting required sdk version", but at least the app can now run after adding the file

[Yonatan Nir]

Is that the latest sdk that still works as it is with Eclipse? And can you still update the sdk itself, just not the build tools?

[L. D. James]

I'm sure the community appreciate your providing a packaged version of the Android SDK that works with Eclipse. I would do just about anything to be able to continue using the very powerful environment of Eclipse for my Android developments. But it's important to advise the users to beware of downloading personal packaged software from users. (continued)...

[L. D. James]

...(continued) If you didn't modify the SDK package and could provide a link or a method of finding (or compiling) from an official source it would be helpful and a less risky resolution. I make this comment because I understand (just as it was when I was new) that many novice users look at the answers on SE as information endorsed by the community. They might not realize they should at least check the user's rep on the site and review other accepted answers the user have provided.
