Android SDK - installing system image packages offline

Question

due to IT limitations that I cannot use for batch installation-automation of Android SDK.

To create an emulator in the Androids AVD manager, I first need a system image for my target device. But regarding the screenshot below, I have not yet been installed.

So can someone tell me: 1. Where to get the system image for Android 6.0 API level 23 2. How to install this system image manually / offline

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

First, select the system image that will be downloaded to the sdk in the Android studio, after which it will start downloading the image and say Downloading from <url> . Copy this URL and download it from some download manager, such as IDM, and after downloading it, extract the files in the system image folder.

Directory structure sdk-folder/system-images/android-<api_number>/google_apis/x86 (or armeabi-v7a) .

So, extract the correct template, and then open the sroid sroid studio, you will see that the package is installed.

Now you can make a virtual device from a loaded system image.

Answer 2

SDK manager not working for you? In any case, there are several sites that you can use to download images from the Android SDK system:

http://ady.my/viewer/system-image/index.html

http://www.hariadi.org/android/manual-download-of-android-sdk-components/

Or alternatively the Hard way : for Windows, using the SDK manager, first make sure that you have loaded the caches, and then download / reload the packages. Then go to "My Computer" and open the .android folder : => C: /Users/your_username/.android/ (Make sure you enable the "show hidden files" option) Try to find some xml files in the cache directory. These xml files contain URLs and other data of the entire sdk package. Each package available in the sdk manager can be downloaded via the corresponding URL. Open XML in IE and try to find what you need. Then you can use the urls from there, and you're good to go.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

you can follow this link to manually install System Images for the emulator, I just installed Android 6.0 (sysimg_x86-23_03) so that I can still display the Marshmallow masts in Eclipse.

These are sites from which you can download them offline. Basically, you will need an Intel x86 System or Intel x86_64 system image.

First , but on this site, each version of the system image is the latest, so you can download:

Intel x86-23_r0X from here (Revision 03 to 09)

Intel x86_64-23_r0X from here (again, revisions 03 to 09))

I hope I helped those who are looking for a solution for old Intel system images for Android 6.0.
