I am installing android SDK to create an automated build server. I got into a problem where many Gradle-based Android projects I manage rely on different build tools version.

Some of the projects still requiring old build-tools version (e.g. My android-sdk package was downloaded when build-tools version 20 has just released, so that's the only version available to download via android update sdk -u --filter build-tools. I have tried to invoke android update sdk -u --filter build-tools-19.1.0 but it didn't work. Is there an easy way to install old version of Android build tools from command line? Note: installing via GUI is not possible. Assuming you have downloaded the Android SDK for linux, you have two options to update from command line.

Download using android tool from the sdk Instead of running the android sdk manager with a GUI, you also have an option to run in headless mode. You just need to specify -u (or --no-ui) flag. What you want is to be able to obtain the same functionality of the SDK Manager GUI in a command line. Issue this command to query all available packages from the repository.

The query will return the packages with a index number on the left. [rgulia@xinu ~]$ android list sdk --all Refresh Sources: Fetching Validate XML Parse XML Fetched Add-ons List successfully Validate XML: Parse XML: Packages available for installation or update: 138 1- Android SDK Tools, revision 24.1.2 2- Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 22 3- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 22.0.1 4- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 22 (Obsolete) 5- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.1.2.

For example: [rgulia@xinu ~]$ android list sdk --all grep -i tools grep 21 5- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.1.2 6- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.1.1 (Obsolete) 7- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.1 (Obsolete) 8- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.0.2 (Obsolete) 9- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21.0.1 (Obsolete) 10- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 21 (Obsolete) Finally, install the desired package by supplying its index number in this command. [rgulia@xinu ~]$ android update sdk -u -a -t 5 The options have this meaning: -u (--no-ui) # Headless mode -a (--all) # Includes all packages, included the obsolete ones -t (--filter) # in this example we have filtered by package index, i.e.
