failed to find Build Tools revision 21.1.1 - sdk up to date

Question

I´m running a linux android sdk installation and my new project needs Build tools 21.1.1

Somehow, this build tools do not exist, eventhough my sdk is up to date, but in the build-tools folder there is now android-4.4W folder

android update sdk --no-ui

My sdk/build-tools folder

I´ve moved the content testwise to a 21.1.1 folder, but this isn´t recognized either.

Is this a bug?How to I get the right build tools?

Answer 1

What worked for me was:

android list sdk -a 

Which showed me the following list:

1- Android SDK Tools, revision 24.0.2 2- Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 21 3- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.1.2 4- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.1.1 5- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.1 6- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.0.2 7- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.0.1 ... and a great many more 

Followed by the command:

android update sdk -a -u -t 3 

The "3" in the command refers the the index listed in the output of the first command.

Answer 2

Solved it by using

android update sdk -u -a

where the a parameter installs all packages. Not the best solution to install everything, but it has at least installed the required build tools version
