Android SDK: Update platform tools

Question

I currently have Android SDK Platform-tools 14 installed. (Edit: Seems to be the current version)

Since this has a bug that makes Logcat unusable and it seems to be fixed in newer versions, Id like to update it.

How can this be done?

SDK Mangager.exe does not find a newer version than 14. I restarted it multiple times and installed all available updates. The android page says the current version is 20 but they don't provide a download. Installing the latest SDK starter package doesn't solve it.

Answer 1

Launch standalone SDK manager and not from Eclipse. It then should fetch list of available packages and offer you to update all old packages, as your ADT v14 is quite ancient.

Alternatively, if everything else fail, you always can fetch ADT by hand from http://tools.android.com , unpack tools to your , replacing old stuff and then installing Eclipse plugin. Please note you need to download both and install as latest version will not work with outdated packages.

Answer 2

The Google page is talking about the tools not for platform tools.Actually there are two different folders in SDK one is tools and one is platform-tools so as per the latest release there latest version is

for platform-tools : platform Tools

for tools : Tools

so if you are having problem just download the zip and replace the old one with new one installed.

if you are getting problem with the new catlog use the old one (LogCat-Deprecated).
