使用'android'命令行实用程序定位特定的系统映像版本？

Question

Background: I've created a headless OSX workstation-bootstrapping script, which installs android-sdk via homebrew and sets up a Chef-solo environment. I mention this because any sensible tool/predictably-named remotely-hosted file is on the table for solutions.

My problem: I need the Android API 16 system-image and I can't seem to find the right flags/package namespace using the android CLI utility. I was able to install the 4.1.2/API 16 SDK Platform using android update sdk -u --filter android-16 , but I still need the system image for emulation.

android update sdk -u --filter system-image installs API 17/4.2.2.

I'd like to avoid doing a grep-based solution over running android list sdk , not that it seems to be an option anyway ( android list sdk | grep 'API 16' doesn't bear fruit).

I've looked at the XML file that the android CLI utility calls to enumerate its package list ( http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/x86/sys-img.xml ) and found a link to the file that I believe I want , http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/x86/sysimg_x86-16_r01.zip , but I'm not thrilled at the parse XML + go around the existing utility option.

I've seen this other SO post and while it was helpful, it doesn't completely cover what I'm attempting to do.

Am I missing a flag or using the wrong package name? If so, what documentation source did I miss? How could I solve this for myself in the future?

Answer 1

You can now use individual package identifiers. For your case, one of:

echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --filter sys-img-x86-android-16 --all
echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --filter sys-img-armeabi-v7a-android-16 --all
echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --filter sys-img-mips-android-16 --all

The --all is necessary because without it, android will ignore packages it considers old even if they match the filter.

You can find a list of the identifiers with android list sdk --extended --all

Answer 2

A slightly hackish solution, but here's how it can be done -- order matters in the running of the CLI commands.

Get the Android API 16, 4.1.2 SDK Platform:

echo -ne 'y' | android update sdk -u --filter android-16

Without API 17 installed, immediately install the system image. Ostensibly, this will follow whichever the most recent version of SDK platform tools happen to respond on the box:

echo -ne 'y' | android update sdk -u --filter system-image

If you want API 17, install android-17 and then run the system-image install command.
