Hello everyone.
So, I’ve been trying to set the android.bat file for unreal engine 5 by following the documentation online but I’m having a lot of issues. After I followed the instructions of unreal documentation that say to change the set SDKMANAGER with this set SDKMANAGER=%STUDIO_SDK_PATH%\cmdline-tools\8.0\bin\sdkmanager.bat" the file stopped working. I try to open up but it closes immediately. I’m a little bit lost, could someone help me please?
Thanks
I would need more information in order to help you, but in essence; you are probably looking for a file in a path that doesn’t exist. If your environment variable isn’t setup for: %STUDIO_SDK_PATH%, then the path wont work properly.
Instead of %STUDIO_SDK_PATH%, try to enter the full path in the line to the sdkmanager.bat.
Basically what I’m doing is following this documentation:
on the point 3.9 says to edit the setupandroid.bat file with this SDKMANAGERPATH="$STUDIO_SDK_PATH/cmdline-tools/8.0/bin" but after I done that, every time I try to open up the file, it opens and immediately closes again like it loads but closes without doing anything…
Did you run the .bat as an administrator?
Yes I tried that as well.
So this is my SetupAndroid.bat script:
@echo off
setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

set VALUE_NAME=Path
set STUDIO_PATH=

%PAUSE%
exit /b 0
Now the message that I receive is the following:
Have you installed Android Studio, and if so; where?
The actual Android Studio app? in this location: “C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin”
This is the same path as mine: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio.
Looking at my .bat file compared to yours, I have this line which is different from yours:
Line 25, it is also repeated again later down in the file:
FOR /F "tokens=2*" %%A IN ('REG.exe query "%KEY_NAME%" /v "%VALUE_NAME%"') DO (set STUDIO_PATH=%%B)
