    sdkmanager

    The sdkmanager is a command line tool that allows you to view, install,update, and uninstall packages for the Android SDK. If you're using AndroidStudio, then you do not need to use this tool and you can instead manage yourSDK packages from the IDE.

    The sdkmanager tool is provided in the Android SDK Tools package(25.2.3 and higher) and is located inandroid_sdk/tools/bin/.

    Usage

    You can use the sdkmanager to perform the following tasks.

    List installed and available packages

    1. sdkmanager --list [options]

    Install packages

    1. sdkmanager packages [options]

    The packages argument is an SDK-style path as shown withthe —list command, wrapped in quotes (for example,"build-tools;28.0.3" or"platforms;android-28"). You can pass multiple packagepaths, separated with a space, but they must each be wrapped in their own set ofquotes.

    For example, here's how to install the latest platform tools (which includesadb and fastboot) and the SDK tools for API level 28:

    1. sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-28"

    Alternatively, you can pass a text file that specifies all packages:

    1. sdkmanager --package_file=package_file [options]

    The package_file argument is the location of a text file in whicheach line is an SDK-style path of a package to install (without quotes).

    To uninstall, simply add the —uninstall flag:

    1. sdkmanager --uninstall packages [options]
    2. sdkmanager --uninstall --package_file=package_file [options]

    Update all installed packages

    1. sdkmanager --update [options]

    Options

    The following table lists the available options for the above commands.

    Option Description
    —sdk_root=path Use the specified SDK path instead of the SDK containing this tool
    —channel=channel_id Include packages in channels up to channel_id. Available channels are:
    0 (Stable), 1 (Beta), 2 (Dev), and 3 (Canary).
