I am trying to setup Android Studio + Android SDK on Linux. I was able to setup Android Studio and SDK Tools and other components except "Android Support Repository" (The download kept failing) so I downloaded android_m2repository_r30.zip
and tried to place its contents(which is a directory m2repository
) in the SDK directory tree but it is not recognized.
I have tried placing in several paths including
pathtosdk/extras/android/m2repository
, pathtosdk/extras/android/support/m2repository
and
pathtosdk/extras/support/m2repository
But none of them works. Where should I place the contents of the zip file to have it installed.
Downloading the Support LibrariesStart the android SDK Manager. In the SDK Manager window, scroll to the end of the Packages list, find the Extras folder. Select the Android Support Library item. Click the Install packages button.
Yes, but it will limit various features. To use Gradle offline when building with Android Studio, proceed as follows: Open the Preferences window by clicking File > Settings (on Mac, Android Studio > Preferences). In the left pane, click Build, Execution, Deployment > Gradle.
v7 Preference Support Library The preference package provides APIs to support adding preference objects, such as CheckBoxPreference and ListPreference , for users to modify UI settings. The v7 Preference library adds support for interfaces, such as Preference. OnPreferenceChangeListener and Preference.
Extract the downloaded zip file.
Copy the folder named m2repository
from the extracted folder.
Navigate to extras/android
directory in your SDK installation directory. For me it's:C:\Users\$usrname$\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\android\
Replace the existing m2repository
folder with the one from the ZIP.
(I suggest creating a backup first)
Restart Android studio.
Hopefully you will have the newer Android support repository.
Update
To get the latest version of support repository:
a. Go to this link
b. Search for the keyword m2repository_r
c. Copy the value in <url>
tag.
It should look like this:
<complete> <size>355529608</size> <checksum>a0d22beacc106a6977321f2b07d692ce4979e96a</checksum> <url>android_m2repository_rXX.zip</url> </complete>
d. Paste it to the end of this URL: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/
Your new URL should look like this:https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android_m2repository_rXX.zip
where XX
is the version number
e. Download and continue from step 2
