Unity freezes when Try to locate Android SDK

I have update all packages of Android SDK, and now, when I try to do a build, or build&run, Unity freezes completely on "Detecting Android SDK", I have selected the root manually but doesnt work... :-|

 

if you are on windows delete the Android 1.x API's from the SDK

 

Deleting only Android 1.X APIs doesnt working, deleting Android 3.X APIs works perfectly, thanks

 

You on windows right!

After you choose build and run, open task manager and END TASK for JAVA.EXE.. then unity will continue to build you APK just fine

 

Same issue I deleted 1.x and no resolution, it started after I included 3.1 - A solution to delete it is not a solution... I need it for HARDWARE APIS!

UNITY PLEASE FIX

the killing of java.exe is a workaround for now

 

delete 1.x and 3.x

 

I encountered this problem too. Ending the java.exe process which seems to make it work but it's not very nice. I'm going to try removing 1.x and 3.x when i get home.

 

i had this problem. Fixed it by connecting my android phone each time i want to build.

 

Unity team,
Please help here. I have been seeing in many threads without a direct answer from the Unity team. I am having the same problem. I have Window 7 64.

I have the entire development environment for Eclipse Android SDK installed and it is working fine for projects created in Java. I can create Android projects and they work perfectly on the emulator and on the phone. So, it is not the java.exe, it is not the SDK, it is not the AVD Manager, it is not Eclipse. I have all packages installed, up to SDK 3.1.

But if I try to build an android project from Unity (v 3.3.0f4) (no scripts, no funcy objects, just a cube and the camera) I get first the request for the sdk directory. Once I browse it, it continues and stays there trying to find it. I followed some threads recommending killing java.exe ...and nothing happens. I get these 2 errors:

1. "Available Android targets: ...." with the entire list of id targets on the system.
2. "Android SDK does not include any platforms! Did you run Android SDK setup to install the platform(s)?
Minimum platform required for build is Android 2.3 (API level 9)"

This is clearly a huge bug in Unity, and unfortunately no one from the Unity team has responded with a clear solution.
Please someone help here.

Thanks
Albert

 

As a follow up on my previous thread here is the complete error text for the second error:

"Android SDK does not include any platforms! Did you run Android SDK setup to install the platform(s)?
Minimum platform required for build is Android 2.3 (API level 9)

Any help on this puzzling situation is greatly appreciated.

 

The bug you are seeing sounds different to the one mentioned in by the OP regarding the hang when locating the Android SDK. If yours is a different bug then I reccomend you start a new thread.

FYI: I am running Windows 7 64 bit and building and running Android applications fine, so there is probably something wrong with your tool chain.

Some important details: I am running JDK 32-bit and I deleted 1.x and 3.x from Android Manager. Everything else is pretty standard.

 

If you are running win 7 64, then you should use the JDK 32bit and delete the 1.x and 3.x from Android Manager.

I spent a whole night trying to install JDK 64 and all of the Android Manager tools.
In the end - it worked as it should after I installed the JDK 32 and deleted the 1.x and 3.x

 

Well, the latest beta seems to work properly with x64 Java and more than 6 Android APIs installed. But as a workaround, please try to keep less that 6 APIs in the sdk folder.

 

T hanksfor the help. I only deleted 1.x versions, but kept 3.x and it is working great!

 

I have same problem. I've mac os x (version 10.7.5) and unity 3.5.6f4. I've latest sdk with adt plugins, its working fine in eclipse for android projects but when i try to create Unity project (Android Platform) it crashes during locating android sdk (i am using correct path of sdk). What I am doing wrong please help me. Your help will be highly appreciated.

 

Same prolem i faced for last 2 days. Finally i got solution. In my case unity freezed because i have used network connection (expecially my company proxy network). Once i just turned off my network connection. After that message box prompted with message "Android SDK is outdated" , where i selected "Use Highest installed" ....... so thats it....... freezing problem solved in my case.........

 

unity 2020.3.46f1 build and run is stuck at detecting android sdk

When I disconnected from my VPN the problem was solved!
