Android Sdk Not Installing Packages

I am having trouble using the android SDK, and I am running it 'As Administrator' when I start it up. Here is a good example, just now I selected the item 'EDK 1.2 by Sony Ericsson

Solution 1:

This is a "name doesn't match" issue which also happens when you download other add-ons like addon-dual_screen_apis-kyocera_corporation, addon-galaxy_tab-samsung_electronics and addon-real3d-lge, you can fix it by the following steps:

Step 0: if you've downloaded more than one copy of the same add-on then keep only one and remove all the others.

Android SDK:\add-ons\addon-edk_1_2-sony_ericsson_mobile_communications_ab-10
Android SDK:\add-ons\addon-edk_1_2-sony_ericsson_mobile_communications_ab-10-1 (remove it)

Step 1. Find out the real add-on name and the vendor name

Open the add-on's source.properties as a text file and you can find the url to the repository

Android SDK:\add-ons\addon-edk_1_2-sony_ericsson_mobile_communications_ab-10\source.properties

...
Pkg.SourceUrl=http\://developer.sonyericsson.com/edk/android/repository.xml
...

then browse the url:

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/edk/android/repository.xml

...
<sdk:name>EDK 1.2</sdk:name>
...
<sdk:vendor>Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB</sdk:vendor>
...

Step 2. Edit the manifest of the add-on to match the names found in step 1.

Android SDK:\add-ons\addon-edk_1_2-sony_ericsson_mobile_communications_ab-10\manifest.ini

name=EDK 1.2vendor=Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

Then restart the SDK Manager you will see that the SDK is marked as "Installed"
