Ubuntu 16.04 ubuntu-make android error: a default framework for category Android was requested where there is none

Question

I try to install Android Studio 2.0 in Ubuntu 16.04 using ubuntu-make as described in the wiki manual and the video.

fieldmarshal@fmcomp:~$ umake android
ERROR: A default framework for category Android was requested where there is none
usage: umake android [-h] {android-ndk} ...

Another way of input didn't help either:

fieldmarshal@fmcomp:~$ umake android android-studio
usage: umake android [-h] {android-ndk} ...
umake android: error: argument framework: invalid choice: 'android-studio' (choose from 'android-ndk')

Although other IDEs are installed normally, e.g. when I run: umake ide idea, everything is okay.

But I keep getting these errors when I try to install Android Studio.

Solution

I found a solution in another askubuntu thread: Why can't I get Android Studio from umake anymore?

The following, taken from above link, worked for me, even though I am using Linux Mint:

You need to have the latest Version of umake, which is 17.03 as of the time of writing. Mine was old, so I replaced it.

umake --version

Don't install umake from the standard ubuntu repositories, instead add ubuntu-desktop repository to get latest umake version. Add repository by

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make

Update software Source

sudo apt-get update

Now install/upgrade umake

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-make

Now install Android Studio by

sudo umake android

Have you updated? Maybe umake android android-studio was just added, and the android-ndk option used to be the only option

@Musher How to update so that I can use umake android android-studio ?

[Admin]

Assuming you installed it from the ppa, just use sudo apt-get install ubuntu-make and that will update it if it already exists

[Admin]

@Musher I reinstalled ubuntu-make and rerun umake android android-studio. It still shows android-ndk as the only option.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! ;-) As Ubuntu 16.04 is not officially released yet you should use launchpad to file a bug so the developers are aware of this and can track it.

I had the same problem and reported the bug. You can view it here: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-make/+filebug/…?

A solution can be found here.

+1, worked perfectly. Why is this answer downvoted?

@Kaiv Hatje While running sudo umake android got ERROR: Download page changed its syntax or is not parsable (url missing). Any idea why? (version 17.03)
