aapt missing but its there
You're probably missing some dynamic link library that the program needs. Run this command to list the libraries it uses and install those that are missing:
ldd /home/gps/Android/Sdk/build-tools/23.0.2/aapt
platform-tools\aapt.exe directory missing in android SDK
*What version of the SDK are you running? (1.5_r2 or something?)*
I would suggest updating your SDK and be done with it ;)
You can do so trough the "Android SDK and AVD Manager".
Eclipse:menu->window->"Android SDK and AVD Manager"
You might also want to change this setting:menu->window->preferences->install/update->(expand)->automatic updates
aapt not found under the right path
It seems that cleaning this specific project doesn't work but cleaning all open project does the trick.
I leave this question if someone else get this issue.
ADT 22 - missing aapt.exe after upgrading
It's moved to:
path/to/your/android-sdk/build-tools/17.0.0/...
I'm assuming this it to ad versioning to the build tools.
We need the android-maven-plugin to do a fix! As its looking for the files under platform-tools/...
which of course they are not anymore.
Update - Fixed
Update your pom.xml to 3.6.0
(or greater). The android-maven-plugin has been updated to support the new structure.
See 3.6.0 Released
<plugin>
<groupId>com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2</groupId>
<artifactId>android-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.6.0</version>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<configuration>
<sdk>
<platform>${android.platform}</platform>
</sdk>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Temp Fix (Old - See Fix)
As mentioned by the OP, copy the files from /build-tools/17.0.0/...
to /platform-tools
until the maven plugin is fixed.
For unix users
cp -r build-tools/17.0.0/* platform-tools/
From your android sdk folder.
Android Maven Could not find tool 'aapt'
I also encountered the same problem when using latest ADT from google and trying to compile the bootstrap android platform.
The latest r17 build separate out aapt
to build-tools folder. Hence it is maven-android-plugin cannot support it.
See issue discussed here.
Tried and working:
cd $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
ln -s ../build-tools/android-4.2.2/aapt aapt
ln -s ../build-tools/android-4.2.2/lib lib
ln -s ../build-tools/android-4.2.2/aidl aidl
Some installations may be structured using the API version:
cd $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
ln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/aapt aapt
ln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/lib lib
ln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/aidl aidl
Keep in mind that this is fixed in the latest version (>3.5.3) of the Android Maven Plugin, as other answers point out.
Eclipse: please check aapt is present at ..\sdk\build-tools\23.0.0_rc1\aapt.exe
@Josecash's answer worked like a charm. Here's the solution from that link in english.
It turns out that now the binaries in the build-tools / 23.0.0_rc1 / folder are in a subfolder called bin, so when eclipse will not find them in its new route, the fastest solution is to create a direct link to the binary the folder you are looking eclipse.
In linux:
$ cd / path / to / sdk /build-tools/23.0.0_rc1/
$ ln -s bin/aapt
In Windows:
Let the path to the SDK to build-tools \ 23.0.0_rc1 \ bin \ folder Once there click the right mouse button on AAPT -. create direct link, then copy the link to the upper build-tools \ 23.0 folder. 0_rc1 \ and change the name aapt.exe
Then just restart eclipse.
Android - Build Failed error While Running an App
The recommended this is Go to Sdk Manager and uninstall 30.0 and install again
To fix temporary for the current Running project use
Android SDK Build-Tools is a component of the Android SDK required for building Android apps. It's installed in the /build-tools/ directory.
You should always keep your Build Tools component updated by downloading the latest version using the Android SDK Manager. If you're using Android plugin for Gradle 3.0.0 or higher, your project automatically uses a default version of the build tools that the plugin specifies. To use a different version of the build tools, specify it using buildToolsVersion in your module's build.gradle, as follows:
android {
buildToolsVersion "29.0.2"
...
