Android Studio Error: "You Must Install The Android Support Repository Though The SDK Manager"

I just initialised a project on Android Studio, and it was working fine in version 0.2.6, but in 0.2.7, I get this error: It creates a folder inside my Applications directory, but

Solution 1:

With 2.7 update I got the same issue. It looks like now Android Studio thinks sdk lays in under its own folder at android-studio/sdk.

You should be able to use android app under android-studio/sdk/tools to get missing components (not tested).

Another solution would be to fix sdk path (tested):

Close any projects then drop to Welcome to Android Studio Dialog

1. Select Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure
2. Select SDKs -> Android SDK -> Android SDK Home Path
3. Update it to your previous sdk location.

Solution 2:

got the same problem when applying the last patch (2.7). I've resolved it by copying SDK Manager.exe from android-studio\sdk\tools\lib to android-studio\sdk\ then I've launched it and install the missing component.

After restarting Android Studio it works again !

Solution 3:

You must manually run SDK Manager.

Folder: android-studio/sdk/tools

Search for android or android-sdk

The new Support Repository must be already selected, and you need only click the "Install" button.

Solution 4:

Just as Leonidos said, install ASR through SDK Manager:

Tools > Android > SDK Manager ; Navigate to the Extras folder, and select Android Support Repositories.

Click install packages and it will work fine

Solution 5:

I did a fresh install of Java, SDK and Android Studio, update it to 0.2.7 and install the ASR through SDK Manager, but the messages comes again.

So i found this solution.

The most common problem for Android Studio and 64Bit Windows System is the no 8.3 short path for C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86).

find_java.exe

couldn't handle it and give a wrong path back.

Finally do this:

dir /x C: 

-- It shows no 8.3 short paths.

 fsutil 8dot3name query C:

-- It shows NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is 1 on "C:", means 8.3 short path won't be created in "C:".

Then I enable the generation of 8.3 short name by:

fsutil 8dot3name set C: 0

and create short names for C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86) in windows recovery mode by:

fsutil file setshortname "C:\Program Files" PROGRA~1

fsutil file setshortname "C:\Program Files (x86)" PROGRA~2

And now dir /x C: can show the short names.

And now find_java.exe -s

can show the short path C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK17~1.0_2\bin\java.exe.

And now find_java.bat and android.bat can work good now!

Also copying SDK Manager.exe from android-studio\sdk\tools\lib to android-studio\sdk\
