catkin_create_android_project error #31
Description
I'm having an issue when create an android project. It shows the following error:
`~/Workspaces/ros/arduino_p1/src/p1_remote$ catkin_create_android_project -t 25 -p lan.robonet.p1_remote.remote remote

The android command is no longer available.
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager
Error
[error] init() takes at least 3 arguments (2 given) : <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>`
Any idea how to solve it would be greatly appreciated!

@hungbv11 which version of the Android SDK are you using?
adamantivm commentedon Jun 27, 2017
@hungbv11 it seems that starting with Android SDK Tools 25.3.1, the
androidcommand is no longer available and that broke thecatin_create_android_packagecommand. Perhaps you're using this version or higher inadvertently?You can check by doing
which android. JFYI, theandroidcommand should be in$SDK_LOCATION/tools/android.You could check if the right SDK is in your PATH environment variable, to help
catkin_create_android_packageto find the properandroidcommand.Another (worse) workaround is to try to downgrade your Android SDK Tools to lower than 25.3.1.
Finally, you could create the android package manually, by copying another existing example such as rosjava_extras
I hope that helps. Meanwhile, I'll add an issue to remember to update the rosjava build tools to this Android SDK change.

Hi @adamantivm
I'm also trying to create a new android app and face the same issues. Would it be possible to give a bit more detailed instructions on how to clone https://github.com/rosjava/android_extras in order to build my own ros Android app?

hi, when I run "catkin_create_android_pkg androidpkg1 android_core, rosjava_core, std_msgs", I get the warning Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0.
and then when I run catkin_create_android_project androidp1, I get error blow:
Creating android project
Name : androidp1
Target Ver: 15
Java Name : com.github.rosjava.android.androidp1
Activity : Androidp1
Command: ['android', 'create', 'project', '-n', 'androidp1', '-p', '/home/gy/myandroid/androidpkg1/androidp1', '-k', 'com.github.rosjava.android.androidp1', '-t', 'android-15', '-a', 'Androidp1']
OS error[Errno 2] No such file or directory
[error] : <type 'exceptions.OSError'>
The Target Ver is 15, but it should be 25 as others do.where is the bug?does the warning caused it ?

The problem is not the deprecated Gradle features; we are using Gradle 4.10 for every repository right now. The cause of the issue is in this comment: #31 (comment); Google deprecated the tool that allowed this command to work at some point in the past.
See #32 and #32 (comment) for a workaround.

Hi, I replace the sdk tools in Android Studio, now I see the sdk tool version is down to 25.2.5, but still have the error.
should I do something for the rosjava?
gongyue666 commentedon Feb 21, 2019
hi, I sloved the problem, it caused by the environment var include the sdk tools path, thx very much.
