I need to use the command line sdkmanager to update android tools. I must not use Android studio to do this. However, if it works on Linux & Mac, it failed on Windows. I received
"Warning: An error occurred during installation: Failed to move away or delete existing target file: C:\android-sdk\tools"
Why it doesn't work ? Is there a way to perform this ?
See this other question: Can't update \tools - Android SDK Command Line Tools for Windows
Yeah that's quite funny. A way to do that is to copy the tools folder to another place (let's say C:\temp\). Then direct into the C:\temp\tools\bin\, open the cmd prompt there and run your update commands as such:
sdkmanager.bat --sdk_root=sdkRootPath --command
Where sdkRootPath is path to your original SDK folder (C:\testinstall\sdk\). Once that is done, delete the C:\temp\tools\ copied folder.
