sdkmanager.bat in version 6200805 (commandlinetools-win-6200805_latest.zip) of the Android command-line tools fails to run with the following error:

Error: Could not find or load main class com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli

The problem is caused by the bat file setting the classpath to look for sdkmanager-classpath.jar in the /lib folder, while the file is actually located under /lib/_.

"%APP_HOME%\lib\/sdkmanager-classpath.jar"

Workaround

After downloading the SDK, move the files from \tools\lib\_\* to \tools\lib\*, so both the .bat file and sdkmanager-classpath.jar can find their dependencies in the right place.

Changing the classpath doesn't work because sdkmanager-classpath.jar expects libraries it includes to be below the folder it is located in

A quick update that, even though the workaround works in some cases, it doesn't work for apksigner. There's a missing find_java.bat file missing in the /tools/lib folder, which is used by apksigner.bat

CC-ing adehtiarov@ and jbakermalone@ who were the last committers on //tools/base/sdklib/src/main/java/com/android/sdklib/tool/sdkmanager/
Could you help route this issue to the proper component/TL?

Andre, do you mean that you see the libraries in a directory literally named _, or is that a placeholder for something else?

jb...@google.com <jb...@google.com> #5Apr 23, 2020 04:43PM

the find_java issue is a real problem, but the solution should be as simple as ensuring via a dependency that the old "tools" is installed when you install build-tools, and that new versions of build-tools don't have this dependency.

Thanks for getting back, Joe. Yes, the directory is literally named _. I did notice that on the MacOS build the tools are located in /tools/lib.

Intresting, when I use 7zip to extract I don't see that, but when I use the default windows unzipper I do. I'm not sure why this would be. I'll take a look later.
Would you mind filing a separate bug for find_java? I don't think we have one yet.

Actually we already have

issue 150888434

for find_java.bat, so no need to file another.

Marked as fixed, reassigned to jb...@google.com.

Fix is checked in, but probably won't be out until the release after the upcoming one.

By the way, if you use 7zip to extract zips on windows it's quite significantly faster (and you also don't have this problem).

Thank you, Joe!

I do have 7-zip installed, but ended up using the default windows unzipper for whatever reason my brain decided.
