Truncated Android SDK package paths from sdkmanager CLI

Question

./sdkmanager --list > tmp.txt gives me a .txt file like this:

Installed packages:   Path  | Version | Description              | Location   ------- | ------- | -------                  | -------    tools | 25.2.3  | Android SDK Tools 25.2.3 | tools/    Available Packages:   Path                              | Version      | Description                         -------                           | -------      | -------                             add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-15 | 3            | Google APIs                         add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-16 | 4            | Google APIs                         add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-17 | 4            | Google APIs                         add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-18 | 4            | Google APIs                         add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-19 | 20           | Google APIs                         add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-21 | 1            | Google APIs                         add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-22 | 1            | Google APIs                         add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-23 | 1            | Google APIs                         add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-24 | 1            | Google APIs                         add-ons;addon-g...e_gdk-google-19 | 11           | Glass Development Kit Preview       build-tools;19.1.0                | 19.1.0       | Android SDK Build-Tools 19.1 Kit Preview       build-tools;19.1.0                | 19.1.0       | Android SDK Build-Tools 19.1 

I want to install from some of these paths using ./sdkmanager --install <path>, but I can't, because the paths are truncated. Note I am using the standard Terminal app on macOS, if that matters.

How can I get the full paths to these packages?

This is a known issue. On Jan 19, 2017 a Googler responded with:

Thank you for suggesting this enhancement. We value the feedback from our community and hope to review your suggestion in an upcoming sprint.

Updated answer (sdkmanager >= 26.0.1)

As per the comment from @albodelu, this can now be done via:

sdkmanager --list --verbose

Which on my machine gives the following:

Info: Parsing /home/pete/apps/android-sdk/build-tools/23.0.2/package.xml Info: Parsing /home/pete/apps/android-sdk/build-tools/23.0.3/package.xml Info: Parsing /home/pete/apps/android-sdk/build-tools/24.0.0/package.xml  ...  Installed packages: -------------------------------------- build-tools;23.0.2     Description:        Android SDK Build-Tools 23.0.2     Version:            23.0.2     Installed Location: /home/pete/apps/android-sdk/build-tools/23.0.2  build-tools;23.0.3     Description:        Android SDK Build-Tools 23.0.3     Version:            23.0.3     Installed Location: /home/pete/apps/android-sdk/build-tools/23.0.3  ...  Available Packages: -------------------------------------- add-ons;addon-google_apis-google-15     Description:        Google APIs     Version:            3  build-tools;19.1.0     Description:        Android SDK Build-Tools 19.1     Version:            19.1.0  ...  extras;m2repository;com;android;support;constraint;constraint-layout-solver;1.0.0     Description:        Solver for ConstraintLayout 1.0.0     Version:            1  ...  done 

If that is too verbose, then you could do something like the following:

sdkmanager --list --verbose | grep -vP "^Info:|^\s|^$|^done$"

Which uses perl-compatible regular expressions (-P) and a grep inverse matches (-v) to remove all lines starting with Info:, starting with whitespace (^\s), empty lines (^$), and lines which only include the word done:

Old answer

In the mean time, another user figured out an ugly hack to get a list of full package names:

I used --list --verbose and it listed that it was searching some xml files in ~/.android/

So... this (ugly) *nix command prints out the (full?) list of the paths... (for anyone else who stumbles upon this thread before they get a sensible fix to this issue...)

grep -Riwo -e "path.*>" ~/.android | awk -F'path="' -F'"' {'print $2'} | sort | uniq

For reference, that gives the following output for me (including a bit of junk, but I don't care because at least I can see package names now:
