It is not recommended to cache SDK tools, but it’s possible, I did it in the past, I will look for a sample
Please delete these unnecessary lines for now, in order to speed it up and tell me if this works.

You only need to install repositories, one emulator and specific components, and not a list like this:

Update: I found this assembly where I cached tools for the SDK tools using a custom path as follows:
cache: apt: true directories: - ${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/gradle/caches/ - ${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/gradle/wrapper/dists/ - ${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/android-sdk/extras/ env: global: - GRADLE_USER_HOME=${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/gradle - ANDROID_HOME=${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/android-sdk - SDK=${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/android-sdk - PATH=${GRADLE_USER_HOME}/bin/:${SDK}/:${SDK}/tools/:${SDK}/platform-tools/:${PATH} before_install: - echo "WARNING delete this when fixed"; export OLD_SDK=/usr/local/android-sdk-23.0.2; mkdir -p ${SDK}; cp -u -R ${OLD_SDK}/platforms ${SDK}/platforms; cp -u -R ${OLD_SDK}/system-images ${SDK}/system-images; cp -u -R ${OLD_SDK}/tools ${SDK}/tools || echo "CP ERROR"
You do not need to do this and directly cache the default path where the repositories are stored:
/usr/local/android-sdk/extras
You do not want to save all sdk tools to cache, including all system images.
The purpose of the caches is to make the installation specific to the language quick and easy, therefore everything related to tools like Bundler, pip, Composer, npm, Gradle, Maven is what the cache should.
Large files that install quickly but load slowly do not benefit from caching because they take so long to load from the cache as from the source:
- Android SDK
- Debian packages
- JDK packages
- Compiled binaries
Default environment options :
TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR : The absolute path to the directory in which the created repository was copied to the desktop.
