I did:
1) Installed latest JDK
2) Installed latest Android SDK
3) Set environment JAVA_HOME and put %JAVA_HOME%\bin in path variable
But when I clicked SDK Manager on Program Files or run it in cmd, nothing happened. (Actually a black
cmd window appears and disappears a milliseconds. :| )
How to fix it?
Edit:
I Googled day by day but can't find a solution for this. Even I set path for ANDROID_SWT it also can't
run. I suspect that Android SDK has bug in its installation package.
Android installation - sdk manager.exe does not work
Android installation/SDK Manager issues
noone has solution for this.
I'm totally exaushted and this is the last my try:
Uninstall JDK, Android SDK, remove all ANDROID or JAVA environment variables, then
reinstall JDK and Android SDK
but nothing changes.
Edit:
Actually this is the second time I meet this problem. I got this problem only after I added more
Environment variables for Ant and Maven. This is the summary:
Install Windows XP SP3 --> Install JDK --> Install Android SDK --> Open SDK Manager and it works! -->
append some more "bin" path of Ant and Maven in "path" variable --> Open SDK Manager and it doesn't
open --> I rolled back by removing all environment variables --> SDK Manager still no opens! That's very
strange! --> It is stranger when I reinstall JDK and Android SDK, it still no opens! :(

Step #1: Open up a command prompt.
Step #2: Use the cd command to move to wherever you installed your Android SDK.
Step #3: Run tools\android.
If that does not work, you should have information dumped to the command prompt that will help you

I was getting the error "C:\Program is not recognized as an internal or external command" Followed by
loads of "unable to copy file" Followed by something about Android_SWT not being able to be found.
The way I fixed the problem on my system (Windows 8, 64 bit, JDK 7) was:
1. Create JAVA_HOME environment variable and point it to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin
2. Open ANDROID SDK DIRECTORY\tools\android.bat in your favourite text editor
3. Find the lines set java_exe= call lib\find_java.bat (it's split over 2 lines)
4. Replace the lines with set java_exe="%JAVA_HOME%\java.exe"
5. Save and run tools\android.bat
The problem was that the the space in the path was not being handled correctly. By wrapping the path in
quotation marks, the space is then correctly catered for.

After a lot of searching and trying different methods, I found the solution to the problem at my end: SDK
Manager couldn't find my profile directory. After setting the environment variable ANDROID_SDK_HOME
(I set mine to a newly created folder C:\Android), SDK manager started no prob.

I have Wondows 7 64 bit (MacBook Pro), installed both Java JDK x86 and x64 with JAVA_HOME pointing
at x32 during installation of Android SDK, later after installation JAVA_HOME pointing at x64.
My problem was that Android SDK manager didn't launch, cmd window just flashes for a second and
that's it. Like many others looked around and tried many suggestions with no juice!
My solution was in adding bin the JAVA_HOME path:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\bin
instead of what I entered for the start:

I had the same problem.
when i run \tools\android.bat, i got the exception: Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/android/sdkmanager/Main
My resolved method:
1. edit \tools\android.bat
2. find "%jar_path%;%swt_path%\swt.jar"
3. modify to "%tools_dir%\%jar_path%;%tools_dir%\%swt_path%\swt.jar"
4. save, and run SDK Manager.exe again

Doing this made something happen when run from the command line. It starts downloading a bunch of xml files
and other files. When it's running the :MkTempCopy section it sets tools_dir to the current directory. There
appears to be a bug in this section. gawpertron Oct 25 '12 at 13:14

The solution was to disable McAfee 8.8. Apparently some recent update is now blocking my Android
environment.

1 This is a workaround only. Disabling antivirus permanently to solve an install problem is bad practice. WasAV disabled just during install or turned off for good? Lizz Nov 10 '12 at 8:14

I solved my problem opening android.bat inside sdk/tools and setting the java_exe property, which was
empty.
set java_exe="C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java"

I add new environment variable "ANDROID_SDK_HOME" and set it, like my path to android SDK folder
(c:/Android) and it's work!

The way I solved your last problem was by right clicking the android.bat file, and chose edit with
notepad++. I then went down to the part of the program where it had this bit of code:
cd /d %~dp0
It was also some other lines of code, but I deleted them. After deleting these other lines I simply just
wrote(under the cd /d %~dp0):
cd Program Files
cd java
cd jdk1.7.0_03
cd bin
I dont know here you java.exe file is located but mine was at lest located there.

Similar to sixty9 I renamed java.exe, javaw.exe, javaws.exe (I never delete files when troubleshooting)
after I created a JAVA_HOME environement variable and added path variables.
I had installed the Java SDK on my D:\ drive ( instead of the default).
1. Create a JAVA_HOME variable: Variable Name: %JAVA_HOME% Value: D:\Program Files\Java.
2. Added the following to the Path variable:
%JAVA_HOME%\jre7\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\jdk1.7.0_03\bin;
3. Renamed java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe.
4. Restarted the system and the Android SDK installer found my JDK and installed successfully.

I solved this problem, which occured for me after manually installing the ADT (4.2/api 17) bundle on
Windows 7 64 bit in C:\Program Files.
The steps I had to take:
1. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the installation directory of the (64 bit) JDK,
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11 in my case.
2. Run SDK Manager as administrator at least once. SDK Manager allows you to change files in
Program Files, so you should give it the proper access rights.

And if tools\android works for you while .exe doesn't, it's probably the x64 java.
It started working when i completely uninstalled JDK with JRE (shows as separate option in windows
uninstal control panel applet) and android sdk and reinstalled using x86 version.

Why does it worth the time, you may ask? Well, such an inconsistency obvoiusly means that amount of
testing with x64 java is zero and so you can probably experience many other failures in the future.

I had this same problem and after trying a variety of things like changing the path variables I went to
java.com on a whim and downloaded java, installed, and lo and behold the sdk manager worked after
that.

Finally got this torterous SDK to run.
When installing 32bit Java on 64bit windows system, set ANDROID_SWT to e:\android-sdk\tools\lib\x86
not ..\x86_64
Dear Android SDK team,
I genuinely hope some serious attention is being paid to these problems. SDK should be effortless to set
up. This is how you lose customers to other platforms where this kind of thing is a one-click ordeal.
I was going to buy another android device to test my game on, but after last 2 days trying to traverse the
maze of your incompetence I think i'll just stick with iOS as my main development target.

Had the same problem and tried everything I browse in several forums till I found a clue, then finally
solved the problem.
Basically I installed the SDK and worked ok, then my Windows Vista crashed, on restart I run SDK again
but it only opened a CMD window which closed immediately.
So here's a list of useless things I did:
Went to CMD "d:/java/android/tool" and execute "android.bat", didn't work and show an pointer
exception error.
Reinstalled the whole thing JDK + SDK
Changed the system path to a new folder
I traced and deleted all android occurrences on Regedit
At this point I was seriously considering start learning objetive-c was not a bad idea, finally I did this:
delete ".android" folder from "c:/users/youruser/"
delete all files within "c:/users/youruser/AppData/Local/Temp"
reinstall SDK
it WORKED !! I'm not sure though if is necessary to uninstall SDK (since I had again to download all
packages & platforms) and just clear the temp folder.
Hope this helps.

I swear I did everything you said. Remove .android folder, files in Temp, all android environment vars; using
CCleaner to clean everything; restart Windows; reinstall SDK. It still doesn't work. Emerald214 Jun 25 '11 at

I fixed this issue by reinstalling it in Program Files, it originally tried to install it in
c:/Users/.../AppData/Android/....
Mine was caused by a user permission issue that running as admin didn't seem to fix (perhaps because
they call batch files?).

I had the same problem, running X64 Java (1.7.0_03-b05). Even though I had both C:\Program
Files\Java\jre7\bin and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin listed in my path, it
wouldn't start - just flashed a command prompt.
The tools\lib\find_java.bat file was reporting that it was attempting to run
C:\Windows\system32\java.exe but failed. Huh? I checked, and found outdated copies of
java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe in my C:\Windows\system32. How did those get there, I
didn't put them there!
I deleted those three files from C:\Windows\system32 and the problem was fixed.
Thinking about it, the problem likely would have been fixed by making sure that C:\Program
Files\Java\jre7\bin and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin were at the START of my
PATH variable instead of tacked onto the end.

I got this solved by copying the swt file from eclipse into the tools directory. If you search in the
directory you have Eclipse installed there is an SWT dll, named something like swt-win32-.dll (mine was named swt-win32-3740.dll): I copied that into the tools directory, and
everything worked after that.

What I did was:
set a new environment variable in the top user section.
VARIABLE NAME: JAVA_HOME VARIABLE VALUE: set it to the installation directory of your most recent
JDK.
For me it was, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_13 . Run SDK Manager as administrator at least once. I
use windows 7. This method worked for me after a lot of research.
What I dont understand is when using 'where java' in the command prompt it still references
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe. My SDK Manager now opens when I need it so I solved my problem.

I was experiencing the UnsatisfiedLinkError on Windows 7 64-bit after installing adt-bundle-windows-

The root cause was that McAfee has a feature that blocks loading DLL's from the temporary directory.
This is a problem because android.bat copies a bunch of JAR and DLL files to a temporary directory and
runs the program from there, to make it easy to upgrade the app in-place.
This feature can be disabled, however. You can either disable "Access Protection" altogether or only
disable the feature that blocks loading DLLs from temporary folders.
