Download the Android SDK components for offline in

Question

Is it possible to download the Android SDK components for offline install without using the SDK Manager? The problem is I am behind a firewall which I have no control over and both sites download URLs seem to be blocked (throws a connection refused exception)

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

Failed to fetch URL http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Connection refused: connect

Answer 1

Which OS?

Everything you download should be placed in the android-sdk folder (in my case: j:\android-sdk-windows).

You can execute "SDK Setup.exe" (or the mac/linux command for this) and download everything and just copy your complete android-sdk folder to another computer. I have the complete SDK + Eclipse + Workspace on an external HDD that I can just plug in to another Computer and it works (except for JDK which should be installed and the AVD's which are located in the user directory). Don't forget to set the ANDROID_HOME environment var to point to your install dir.

Update: In the SDK Downloader you have a "force https:// sources to be fetched using http://" checkbox under the settings menu. Maybe check (or if checked) uncheck this may help you to download everthing from your firewalled computer.

I know this topic is a bit old, but after struggling and waiting a lot to download, Ive changed my DNS settings to use google's one (4.4.4.4 and 8.8.8.8) and it worked!!

My connection is 30mbps from Brazil (Virtua), using isp's provider I was getting 80KB/s and after changing to google dns, I got 2MB/s average.

Answer 4

This has changed for android 4.4.2. .. you should look in the repository file and download https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-10.xml

1. android-sdk_r20.0.1-windows.zip ( I think that is actually windows specific tools)
2. android-19_r03.zip for all platform ( actual api) and store under platforms in #1

In manual install dir structure should look like

Now you have to..

1. download win SDK helper ( avd/SDK magr): https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r20.0.1-windows.zip
2. actual sdk api https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/android-20_r01.zip
3. samples https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/samples-19_r05.zip
4. images : https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/x86/sys-img.xml e.g. https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/sysimg_armv7a-18_r02.zip extract in : “Platforms > Android-4.4.2>"
5. platform-tools: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r19.0.1-windows.zip
6. build-tools: create folder (build-tools at main sdk level) https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/build-tools_r17-windows.zip
7. copy aapt.exe, aidl.exe and dr.bat to platform-tools folder.
8. you may download tools as well same way
9. source: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/sources-19_r02.zip

At this point you should have a working android installation.

As said, this error usually comes if u stay behind proxy. So to get with this, open IE-Internet options-Connections-LAN settings and take the proxy address. Configure the SDK Manager.exe (settings tab) to that proxy address with port. Check Force Http....

If u have a Proxy script in your LAN settings, copy the address and paste in address bar. Open the downloaded file in notepad. Find your ip address from ipconfig. In the file, go the subnet range in which your ip falls. Eg: isInNet(resolved_ip, "198.175.111.0", "255.255.255.0") will be true for 198.175.111.53 take the return value: after the word PROXY and use this for configuring SDK Manager.

Now the SDK will be downloaded happily.
