setup-android

This action sets up the Android SDK tools by:

• Downloading the SDK commandline tools, if the current version (11.0) 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/11.0/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@v3

- 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

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 10406996 (short version 11.0).

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
