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 Mobile Communications AB’
It says it was installing, and at the end I have it in my list twice like this,
EDK 1.2 by Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB 10 1 Not Installed
EDK 1.2 by Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB 10 1 Installed
It seems to be confused. In this case when I refreshed the list it said that the item was installed, but I am having a lot of cases where it just refuses to install the item.
I also had a case where in the list it said an item was installed, but when I came back later it wasn’t installed.
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.
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
then browse the url:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/edk/android/repository.xml
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
Then restart the SDK Manager you will see that the SDK is marked as “Installed”
