Automatically accept all SDK licences

Question

Since gradle android plugins 2 2-alpha4       Gradle will attempt to download missing SDK packages that a project   depends on   Which is amazingly cool and was know to be a JakeWharton project   But  to download the SDK library you need to  accept the license agreements or gradle tells you      You have not accepted the license agreements of the following SDK   components   Android SDK Build-Tools 24  Android SDK Platform 24     Before building your project  you need to accept the license   agreements and complete the installation of the missing components   using the Android Studio SDK Manager  Alternatively  to learn how to   transfer the license agreements from one workstation to another  go to   http   d android com r studio-ui export-licenses html   And this is a problem because I would love to install all sdk dependencies while doing a gradle build   I am looking for a solution to automatically accept all licenses  Maybe a gradle script   Do you have any ideas    Thanks    EDIT   A solution was to execute   android update sdk --no-ui --filter build-tools-24 0 0 android-24 extra-android-m2repository   And install it manually  but it is the gradle s new feature purpose to do it    EDIT 2   A better solution is to use the sdkmananger   yes   sdkmanager --licenses

I have faced two errors while Build my project on Android Studio:

License for package Android SDK Platform 28 not accepted. (while Build my project in Android Studio 4.1)
exception in thread main java.lang.noclassdeffounderror javax/xml/bind/annotation/xmlschema (while running SDK manager to accept license)

For me, it was a java version problem. I have installed JDK instead of java. TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, I did the following steps.

For Windows:

Step1: Download and install the latest JAVA version from https://www.java.com/en/download/

Step2: Search for "View advanced system settings" in the start menu button (windows icon)

Step3: Click on "Environment Variables"

Step4: under "System variables" click on "New", now set "Variable name: JAVA_HOME" and "Variable value: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_271" (add latest installed java path here). Then "OK", "OK", and "OK".

Step5: open cmd as an administrator and type the following commands:

cd C:\Users\kevin\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin (*change username here)
sdkmanager --licenses

Press "y" for all questions.

Step6: Restart your Android Studio again.

DONE.

Let me know if anyone having a problem while following the above steps.

I solved this problem by creating a public git repo with the accepted license files   Then I use wget to fetch these licenses on any machine I need into a  sdk-dir  licenses directory before running   gradlew to build my project

I have encountered this with the alpha5 preview     Jake Wharton pointed out to me that you can currently use   mkdir -p   ANDROID SDK licenses  echo -e   n8933bad161af4178b1185d1a37fbf41ea5269c55   gt    ANDROID SDK licenses android-sdk-license  echo -e   n84831b9409646a918e30573bab4c9c91346d8abd   gt    ANDROID SDK licenses android-sdk-preview-license    to recreate the current  ANDROID HOME license folder on you machine  This would have the same result as the process outlined in the link of the error msg  http   tools android com tech-docs new-build-system license    The hashes are sha1s of the licence text  which I imagine will be periodically updated  so this code will only work for so long        And install it manually  but it is the gradle s new feature purpose to do it    I was surprised at first that this didnt work out of the box  even when I had accepted the licenses for the named components via the android tool  but it was pointed out to me its the SDK manager inside AS that creates the  licenses folder    I guess that official tools would not want to skip this step for legal reasons    Rereading the release notes it states     SDK auto-download  Gradle will attempt to download missing SDK packages that a project depends on    Which does not mean it will work if you have not installed the android tools yet and have already accepted the latest license s    EDIT  Saying that  it still does not work on my test gubuntu box until I link the SDK up to AS  CI works fine though - not sure what the difference is

If you are using Jenkins  you can use the following bash script as first step in the build process    while sleep 3  do echo  y   done     ANDROID HOME tools android update sdk -u   This will of course install ALL available updates  but it will save you some time if you can spare the disk space  The sleep is to avoid the broken readline in the installation program  since  yes  does not work properly in this case   EDIT  You also need to add the  Install Android project prerequisites  plugin in the build step to get the correct  ANDROID HOME if you are using the built in SDK manager

After trying many the possible solutions mentioned by members from the community I just found there might have been different problems overtime so most of the solutions are outdated    Currently  and as I posted in the Travis community  Travis should be accepting all the licenses by default  but it kept complaining about not accepting the licenses 27 0 3 which shouldn t happen    Adding   before install    - yes   sdkmanager  build-tools 27 0 3    should fix the problem  we we would be able to even use an a 3   version of Android Gradle Tools without needing to even declare what version of build-tools we are using   android    components        Use the latest revision of Android SDK Tools     - tools     - platform-tools     - tools        The SDK version used to compile your project     - android-  ANDROID API        - build-tools-28 0 3      WE DONT NEED THIS ANYMORE FROM AGP 3          Additional components     - extra-google-google play services     - extra-google-m2repository     - addon-google apis-google-  ANDROID API    This works as October 29th  2018  Travis might make changes in the future so good luck with that

As of July 2019  the easiest method is to use  flutter doctor --android-licenses in the command prompt   It proceeds to display the unaccepted T amp C of SDKs one by one and you re given option to choose  y n   Choose y for all   Alternately  when you run flutter doctor  it will run Android toolchain diagnostics which displays how many licenses are not yet accepted  and suggests you to run it with the --android-licenses flag

For those having issues with the command line SDK  the reason it won t find the licenses you have accepted is because they have have been written to a different location than  ANDROID HOME licenses which is where they need to be   I found the easiest solution was to accept the licenses like this    ANDROID HOME bin sdkmanager --licenses --sdk root  ANDROID HOME  Note  This assumes you ve set ANDROID HOME to point to wherever your sdk is installed

The android tool is deprecated and you should use the sdkmanager instead  sdkmanager also writes the licenses file when you first accept it  The license changes depending on which SDK you are using so even though the command  echo -e   n8933bad161af4178b1185d1a37fbf41ea5269c55   gt    ANDROID SDK licenses android-sdk-license    works on some systems  It won t work on all  Some SDK installs expect to license file to end without a newline in the file so try adding a -n to the echo command   echo -n -e   n8933bad161af4178b1185d1a37fbf41ea5269c55   gt    ANDROID SDK licenses android-sdk-license    If that isn t working you can try using the base64 encoding instead   So to discover my license     gt  rm   ANDROID HOME     gt  unzip tools r25 2 3-linux zip -d   ANDROID HOME    gt    ANDROID HOME  tools bin sdkmanager  system-images android-23 default x86 64    It ll prompt you to accept the license  After accepting it ll copy it to   ANDROID HOME  licenses android-sdk-license  To ensure you always get exactly what is written use base64     gt  base64   ANDROID HOME  licenses android-sdk-license Cjg5MzNiYWQxNjFhZjQxNzhiMTE4NWQxYTM3ZmJmNDFlYTUyNjljNTU    Then you can use base64 -d recreate the file exactly     gt  echo Cjg5MzNiYWQxNjFhZjQxNzhiMTE4NWQxYTM3ZmJmNDFlYTUyNjljNTU    base64 -d  gt    ANDROID HOME  licenses android-sdk-license   You can verify if the file written is what is expected by running a sha1sum on it     gt  sha1sum   ANDROID HOME  licenses android-sdk-license da6b80c9c47b41c0bf7032938e7137a58a3dc249

We found same issue building the project on Jenkins  With buildToolsVersion  25 0 2   we must accept licenses before building  In our case  we needed to run   yes   sdkmanager --update that accepts licenses for the sdkmanager itself  and then  yes   sdkmanager --licenses that accepts new licenses not previously accepted  Remember  run these commans with the same user that jenkins does  In our Debian  the Jenkins user is just jenkins  In other words  doing it as root will create the accepted licenses as root  so Jenkins will not read them   By the way  we found sdkmanager at  var lib jenkins tools android-sdk tools bin  If yours is not there  find it with find   -name  sdkmanager
