How to Install Google Play Services GMS SDK on CircleCI

Question

I am using a CircleCI server to build and test and Android application and have trouble installing the Android SDK for Google Play Services (including GMS services) on the server.

My circle.yml file is:

environment:
          ANDROID_HOME: /usr/local/android-sdk-linux

dependencies:
  pre:
    - echo y | sudo /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/tools/android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter extra-android-m2repository
    - echo y | sudo /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/tools/android update sdk --no-ui --all

    - wget $DEBUG_KEYSTORE_URL
    - openssl des3 -d -pass env:DEBUG_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD -salt -in debug.keystore.encrypted  -out ~/.android/debug.keystore

test:
    override:
       - ./gradlew assembleDebug
    post:
      - cp -r app/build/outputs $CIRCLE_ARTIFACTS

The first

- echo y | sudo /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/tools/android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter extra-android-m2repository

was a fix for an earlier issue with the Android SDK extras, and I thought that the second line would install all remaining components:

- echo y | sudo /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/tools/android update sdk --no-ui --all

However, I am getting the following error (below).

When trying to keep my circle.yml file up to date with the latest Android SDK, I seem to keep running into similar issues. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Answer 1

The solution after much tweaking seems to require you to explicitly specify the components you need in the --filter option. If you don't add filter, it appears that --all will NOT give you all the components needed.

Fix is below for others:

ssh dependencies: pre: - echo y | sudo /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/tools/android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter extra-android-m2repository,extra-android-support,extra-google-google_play_services,extra-google-m2repository
