I am trying to install the Android SDK, in Ubuntu, behind my work firewall

  • 0

I am trying to install the Android SDK, in Ubuntu, behind my work firewall and am getting ‘failed to connect to dl-ssl.google.com’ messages. This is a known problem but every solution I see involves proxy settings and selecting the ‘force http’ option. It appears that this is straightforward in windows, however I’d like to know how to do the same in LINUX. I can set the eclipse proxy settings but I don’t think this gets used by the android sdk manager. Is there a config file somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

    The solution was to setup a local proxy to perform authentication and create the file ~/.android/androidtool.cfg to redirect android to the local proxy as follows.

    ### Settings for Android Tool

http.proxyPort=3128
sdkman.monitor.density=108
http.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
sdkman.show.update.only=true
sdkman.ask.adb.restart=false
sdkman.force.http=true
sdkman.show.updateonly=true

    This file may already exist with entries such as 

    http.proxyPort=
http.proxyHost=127.0.0.1\:3128

    For me, this did not work until I changed it to the form shown above:

    http.proxyPort=3128
http.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
