Command 'aapt' was not found in the android SDK #198

nmaddula · 2014-01-06T16:51:27Z

Hi Everyone,

I am facing this issue again.
When I made the setup ready and run the Jar file: "java -jar selendroid-standalone-0.7.0-with-dependencies.jar"
I am getting the issue as shown below:
INFO: ################# Selendroid #################
Jan 06, 2014 11:16:06 PM io.selendroid.SelendroidLauncher lauchServer
INFO: Starting selendroid-server port 5555
Jan 06, 2014 11:16:06 PM io.selendroid.SelendroidLauncher lauchServer
SEVER: Selendroid was not able to interact with the Android SDK: Command 'aapt' was not found inside the Android SDK. Please update to the latest development tools and try again.

Please help me out on this.

I have the aapt file inside the build-tools already.

please find the attachment "cmd window" for further reference.

What is the subfolder name under build tools? Usually it is something like 19.0.0 that contains then the aapt executable.

nmaddula · 2014-01-07T08:54:20Z

Hi DominikDary,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes... I do have the folder which you said. I have other folders also in it till 17.0.0 (Older Versions).

Please let me know If I need to put more details?

lukeis · 2014-01-07T17:07:51Z

looks like you have the java jre installed and not the jdk? jarsigner is provided in the java jdk, please make sure that is installed and set as the JAVA_HOME

nmaddula · 2014-01-07T17:28:03Z

Hi Luke,

Thanks a Lot !!!
It worked now...:)
I see the Selendroid server has been started on port 5555.

But when I tried to check whether the device is recognized by opening a browser and navigation to http://localhost:5555/wd/hub/status. on my phone,

I do not see any JSON object coming up.
It shows an error saying: Could not connect to localhost:5555

I have tried this in chrome browser on my phone.

Please advice.

lukeis · 2014-01-07T17:30:02Z

the server at this point is running on your PC, not on the device. Open a browser on your desktop and connect to localhost:5555/wd/hub/status

Hi nmaddula,

How did you solve the below error ?

Android SDK: Command 'aapt' was not found inside the Android SDK. Please update to the latest development tools and try again.

nmaddula · 2014-02-05T11:47:20Z

Hi Dhijaj,

I have updated my SDK from the Android SDK Manager.
Update to the 19th Version and you will find a sub-folder "19.0.1" under Build-Tools Folder.

Let me know if you face any further issues.

dhijaj · 2014-02-05T23:36:38Z

Thanks nmaddula ,

I have the latest updated build tools 19.0.1 as u said but still am facing the issue. I also have all previous versions in build tools folder!

Command 'aapt' was not found inside the Android SDK. Please update to the latest development tools and try again.

any chance u could give me some solution?

nmaddula · 2014-02-06T04:24:24Z

Have you made all setup as I said above in my previous posts ?

Also can you paste the stack trace of the error here ? May be a screenshot
of the error would be fine, so that I can see what thr actual error is...

I noticed an issue here. Might not be the complete solution yet !

When you trying to start the Selendroid Server, the second part of the code should contain the app name what you are going to add in the server.
And I see that instead of the app i.e., a ".apk" file, you have added a .jar file - the Selendroid Grid Plugin. Remove the plugin content there and add the app name that you are going to automate.

If you want to use Selendroid Grid, Please refer http://selendroid.io/scale.html

Also, check the key points once:

Environment variables set correctly.
You have Jarsigner exe file.(you get it by downloading Java JDK. JRE will not be sufficient)

dhijaj · 2014-02-06T22:49:14Z

i understand.'

I have set up the E vars correctly. but still no clue. But see the screenshot below.

stergema · 2014-07-01T16:55:37Z

Did someone found the issue, i am having the same problem for 2 days... :(

nmaddula · 2014-07-02T08:01:28Z

Hi,
Even i faced this issue, below steps worked for me

Removed all the android_home,java_home, path
Again configured the paths
Restarted my system
then i didn't see the error, it worked properly.
once cross check your Android_Home variable path.
