setup-android

This action sets up the Android SDK tools by:

• Downloading the SDK commandline tools, if the current version (16.0) is not found in either $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT or $HOME/.android/sdk.
• Accepting the SDK licenses.
• Installing tools and platform-tools.
• Adding platform-tools (contains adb) and cmdline-tools/16.0/bin (contains sdkmanager) to $PATH.
• Setting up problem matchers.

On Windows 2016 runners, this action also checks if $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT path contains spaces. If it does - it moves SDK to a path without spaces. This is needed because spaces are highly problematic:

C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /D /S /C ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\cmdline-tools\3.0\bin\sdkmanager.bat" --licenses"
Error: Could not find or load main class Files

Usage

See action.yml

Basic

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4

- name: Set up JDK 17
  uses: actions/setup-java@v3
  with:
    java-version: '17'
    distribution: 'temurin'

- name: Setup Android SDK
  uses: android-actions/setup-android@v3

- name: Build SampleApplication
  run: ./gradlew --no-daemon build

Additional packages

Input parameter packages controls which packages this action will install from Android SDK.

Default value is tools platform-tools, supply an empty string to skip installing additional packages.

Additional packages can be installed at a later time by calling sdkmanager manually.

- name: Setup Android SDK
  uses: android-actions/setup-android@v3
  with:
    packages: ''

# ...

- run: sdkmanager tools platform-tools

SDK Version selection

Command line tools are versioned using two variables - short and long. Long one is the build number, used in the zip URL, short one is the human friendly version name.

By default, setup-android installs version 12266719 (short version 16.0).

To install a different version, call setup-android with desired long version as the input parameter cmdline-tools-version:

- name: Setup Android SDK
  uses: android-actions/setup-android@v3
  with:
    cmdline-tools-version: 8512546

Version table

Short version	Long version
16.0	12266719
13.0	11479570
12.0	11076708
11.0	10406996
10.0	9862592
9.0	9477386
8.0	9123335
7.0	8512546

Current cmdline tools version can be found at https://developer.android.com/studio#command-line-tools-only

Android SDK Licenses

Android SDK is not public domain software, it comes with a license.

Input parameter accept-android-sdk-licenses decides if Android SDK licenses should be agreed to on behalf of the user of this action. Default option is 'yes', because otherwise SDK is unusable until said licenses are agreed to.

licenses are quite long, to prevent a wall of text in the action output, licenses can be agreed to silently. Input parameter log-accepted-android-sdk-licenses controls whether license texts should be printed or omitted from the text output. Defaults to 'true'.
