Azure devops - SDK location not found. Define location with an ANDROID_SDK

I get the below error while trying to run android application in a self hosted ubuntu agent. Am I getting this error because Android SDK is not present in the Ubuntu agent? If so, is there any workaround? I do not get this issue while the same app is run in a macos agent.

Any help is much appreciated

CodePudding user response：

SDK location not found. Define location with an ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variable or by setting the sdk.dir path in your project's local properties file at '/azp/_work/1/s/local.properties'.

The cause of this error is that the Android SDK is not installed or the Android environment is not configured on your self-hosted agent.

You need to check if Android SDK has been installed on your self-hosted agent.

If no, you can use the following command to install Android SDK.

sudo apt update && sudo apt install android-sdk

The location of Android SDK on Linux can be any of the following:

/home/AccountName/Android/Sdk

/usr/lib/android-sdk

/Library/Android/sdk/

/Users/[USER]/Library/Android/sdk

Then you can set the Android environment via setting environment variable or setting sdk.dir path in /azp/_work/1/s/local.properties.

For example:

Set environment variable

1.Edit your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc or ... 2. Add SDK path:

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

3.Run command:

source $HOME/.bashrc

echo $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
