# Standalone-Android-Sdk-Manager



* If you have been using the Sdk Manager that is included with Android Studio, this should look and feel pretty familiar. :D





  


  




## Getting Started

---

   * Download and Install the latest [Release](https://github.com/GlassToeStudio/Standalone-Android-Sdk-Manager/releases)

   * Unzip the folder contents.

   * Run setup.exe



   *you may get a warning, because the cert used to sign is not widely known.*



   *If this is too risky for you, there is always the option to clone the repo, and build the exe on your own system :D*



---

## Prerequisites

---



__This Program requires the Android SDK Command Line Tools and the Java JDK__

### ★ Already have a valid Sdk installed and Java JDK?

* You are done :D



---



#### ★ Don't have a valid JDK installed?



 * __Go download [Java JDK](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html) and install it. (For Windows)__



    * After installation add Java to your `PATH`

    * More information about adding Java to `PATH` can be found [here](https://javatutorial.net/set-java-home-windows-10)



#### ★ Don't have a valid Sdk installed?



  * __Go download [Android Sdk Command Line Tools](https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads). (For windows)__



    * Create a root `Sdk` folder somewhere that is easy to find `C:\\` is a good place.

    * Extract the zip file to that root `Sdk` folder.

    * Folder structure should be `C:\\Sdk\tools` (if you chose `C:\\`)

    * Folder structure is important for this to work, since you will need to navigate to the root `Sdk` folder within the application, It will then look in `\tools\bin\` for the sdkmanager.bat file that is included with the command-line tools.

 

---



### Notes:

* I named the root folder `Sdk`, the name does not matter. Additionally, this folder can be inside any other folder. The important part is that you know which is the root. 

* A common structure is `C:\\Android\Sdk\` or `C:\\Android-Sdk\` as the root folder name.

* It is preferable (but not necessary) that `C:\\Sdk\tools` has been added to your `PATH`.

* More info about adding to your `PATH` can be found [here](https://www.androidcentral.com/installing-android-sdk-windows-mac-and-linux-tutorial) 



* If contributing, be sure to have `git` installed.

---



## Usage

---



* After installing, and upon the first run, you will need to navigate to your Sdk `root` folder.

* If you had previously used Android Studio to install the Sdk, the default location is:

  * `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk` 

  * aka: `C:\\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk`

* The program will automatically populate the Sdk field with this info, if it is not where your Sdk is installed, you will need to manually navigate to your Sdk location.

* You should only need to do this once, as the program will save the location. 

* Now you can use the UI to manage your Sdk. 

  * Install new packages and tools

  * Uninstall old packages

  * Update current packages

  * etc.
