gitlab ci .yml android

Question

I'm trying to setup gitlab CI and I can't find any information about error which I'm getting from gitlab runner. Here is .yml file :

image: openjdk:8-jdk

variables:
ANDROID_COMPILE_SDK: "28"
ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS: "28.0.3"
ANDROID_SDK_TOOLS: "28.0.3"

 before_script:
    - apt-get --quiet update --yes
- apt-get --quiet install --yes wget tar unzip lib32stdc++6 lib32z1
- wget --quiet --output-document=android-sdk.zip 
   https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip
- unzip -q android-sdk.zip -d android-sdk-linux
- echo y | android-sdk-linux/tools/android --silent update sdk --no-ui -- all 
--filter android-${ANDROID_COMPILE_SDK}
- echo y | android-sdk-linux/tools/android --silent update sdk --no-ui --all 
--filter platform-tools
- echo y | android-sdk-linux/tools/android --silent update sdk --no-ui --all 
--filter build-tools-${ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS}
- echo y | android-sdk-linux/tools/android --silent update sdk --no-ui --all 
--filter extra-android-m2repository
- echo y | android-sdk-linux/tools/android --silent update sdk --no-ui --all 
--filter extra-google-google_play_services
- echo y | android-sdk-linux/tools/android --silent update sdk --no-ui --all 
--filter extra-google-m2repository
- export ANDROID_HOME=$PWD/android-sdk-linux
- export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/
- chmod +x ./gradlew

stages:
  - build
  - test

build:
stage: build
script:
  - ./gradlew assembleDebug
artifacts:
paths:
- app/build/outputs/

And finaly error is:

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-11+deb9u3) ...
$ wget --quiet --output-document=android-sdk.zip 
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip
$ unzip -q android-sdk.zip -d android-sdk-linux
$ echo y | android-sdk-linux/tools/android --silent update sdk --no-ui --all 
--filter android-${ANDROID_COMPILE_SDK}
************************************************************************* 
The "android" command is deprecated.
For manual SDK, AVD, and project management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager
*************************************************************************
Unrecognized argument --silent
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

What should I do in this case? Can't find any information about this. I have tried to change path but won't help.

Answer 1

If you want just build your project (with unit tests stage) you can try simple gitlab CI script which i'm using in my project gitlab snippet .

I'm not sure that this will work with build tools version 28, but you can experiment with this params.

Answer 2

You need to use sdkmanager to setup Android SDK, instead of deprecated "android" command.

Here is an example how I setup Android SDK in my Docker file

Answer 3

Try this commands and make sure you changed the compile sdk versions according to your APP, GITLAB CI configuration should be changed when the APP gradle configs changed.

image: openjdk:8-jdk

variables:
  ANDROID_COMPILE_SDK: "26"
  ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS: "28.0.3"
  ANDROID_SDK_TOOLS:   "4333796"

before_script:
- export GRADLE_USER_HOME=`pwd`/.gradle
- apt-get --quiet update --yes
- apt-get --quiet install --yes wget tar unzip lib32stdc++6 lib32z1
- wget --quiet --output-document=android-sdk.zip https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-${ANDROID_SDK_TOOLS}.zip
- unzip -d android-sdk-linux android-sdk.zip
- echo y | android-sdk-linux/tools/bin/sdkmanager "platforms;android-${ANDROID_COMPILE_SDK}" >/dev/null
- echo y | android-sdk-linux/tools/bin/sdkmanager "platform-tools" >/dev/null
- echo y | android-sdk-linux/tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;${ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS}" >/dev/null
- export ANDROID_HOME=$PWD/android-sdk-linux
- export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/
- chmod +x ./gradlew
# temporarily disable checking for EPIPE error and use yes to accept all licenses
- set +o pipefail
- yes | android-sdk-linux/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses
- set -o pipefail
